Led by Chief Chong-won, the largest Chinese tribe left (comprised of about 350 people) live in a valley high in the Chinese mountains. The valley was chosen because the Psychlos never went there, probably because it had already been mined out.

Their home is bitterly cold due to the high elevation and the temperature adversely affects the growth of vegetation, making it difficult to get food.

The Chinese were successful in keeping a fair amount of their university records, in spite of the invasion. They are very literate and speak Mandarin as their primary language.

Even with the vast majority of the Chinese population having been wiped out (prior to the invasion there had been almost a billion people in China), the Chinese play an important role in the human rebellion.
