What hard white translucent ceramic material is used to make china?

China is made up of these materials; Kaolin, Feldspar, Quartz, and ball clay (petunse). Among these Kaolin is the most component and is white in color however feldspar is the hardest element of all as it is rock but the translucence is brought about by Mullite a rare silicate material Al2O32SiO2 or 2Al2O3 SiO2 which matches with the formula of kaolin AI2Si2O5(OH)4. However Kaolin is soft and usually white and because it contains the Mullite a translucent element it answers your question as it is said to usually be soft this time around it could be hard due to other factors including geographical effects and weather plus time.

Is porcelain a ceramic?
CERAMICS The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramos). The term covers inorganic non-metallic materials which are formed by the action of heat. Up until the 1950s or so, the most important of these were the traditional clays, made into pottery, bricks, tiles and the like, along with cements and glass. Clay-based ceramics are described in the article on pottery. A composite material of ceramic and metal is known as cermet. The word ceramic can be an adjective, and can also be used as a noun to refer to a ceramic material, or a product of ceramic manufacture. Ceramics may also be used as a singular noun referring to the art of making things out of ceramic materials. The technology of manufacturing and usage of ceramic materials is part of the field of ceramic engineering. China The Chinese perfected porcelain by using kaolin, a white clay, mixing it with china stone and firing it at high temperatures. That was in the 10th century and it took another 800 years before true porcelain was developed in Europe. China, in this context, originally refered to a ceramic dinnerware coming out of the country of China which was particularly fine and exceptionally white. It was a standard of quality unknown elsewhere at the time. To answer the question then, China is a ceramic product but of a very fine quality and it should more accurately be called porcelain.
