=well, i belive it is east !=
east
China is located on the east side of the prime meridian.
Almost but not quite all of Asia is east of the Prime Meridian, and almost but not quite all of it is north of the equator.
Since the Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), you can go either east or west fromthe prime meridian and eventually wind up in China. Most people would choose to goeast, though, since the trip in that direction is shorter.It also makes a difference exactly where on the Prime Meridian you start out from.China is straight south of one end of it, and straight north from the other end.

Basically there are more than 3 countries located in the east part of prime meridian thus, CHINA, New Zealand and TURKEY are one of them. -Dominic-
The equator runs West-East and the prime meridian (Greenwich meridian) runs North-South.
The Earth is roughly spherical (shaped like a ball), so you can start out in either direction from the Prime Meridian and eventually be in China ... that was sort of the whole idea behind Columbus' voyage. But you'll still have a shorter trip if you head out toward the east.
This is called the Prime meridian, it passes through Greenwich, England.
the prime meridian
the prime meridian runs north and south. it perfectly intersects the equator that runs west and east.
The southernmost land crossed by the Prime Meridian is the Antarctic continent, but there are no countries there. The southernmost country on the Prime Meridian is Ghana.
