China white may refer to:
China (i/ˈtʃaɪnə/; Chinese: 中国; pinyin: Zhōngguó; see also Names of China), officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is the world's most-populous country, with a population of over 1.3 billion. Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometres, the East Asian state is the world's second-largest country by land area, and the third- or fourth-largest in total area, depending on the definition of total area.
The People's Republic of China is a single-party state governed by the Communist Party of China. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four directly controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau). Its capital city is Beijing. The PRC also claims Taiwan—which is controlled by the Republic of China (ROC), a separate political entity—as its 23rd province, a claim controversial due to the complex political status of Taiwan and the unresolved Chinese Civil War. The PRC government denies the legitimacy of the ROC.

Sometimes it seems the good times
Never will return
A lot has changed, babe
'cause evil rules the world
You said you're looking
For a place where there's no hate
Oh, babe it really makes no sense
To escape
How long will it take
To make the world a flaming star
How long will it take
Till they will stop their senseless wars
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need
That we need to fill our hearts with the love again
The only future we've got
Exists right now
Let's take the time, babe
As long as the world is turning round
How long will it take
To make the world the fireball
How long will it take
Till no more life exists at all
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need
That we need to fill our hearts with the love again
It's up to you
To fight the evil in your mind
It's up to you
