China is a country itself and does not contain a country inside of it. No country near China used to be located in Europe and then shifted into the area, either politically or geographically (which is impossible). China used to be ruled by several European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Portugal. When China became independent, the British and Portuguese still held onto small possession such as Hong Kong and Macau, which they kept until 1997 and 1999 respectively. Today, Hong Kong and Macau are both special administrative regions in which they are autonomous within China.
