A "china closet" means a closet or piece of furniture where you store fine china, which means dishes made out of china (not the country China). The idiom "a bull in a china closet" is used to express what it would be like if you had a bull in a china closet: all the china dishes would be broken. So if someone is "like a bull in a china closet", they are running around causing trouble or breaking things. "I Was Born In A China Closet" lol
