"China" is a song by Puerto Rican rappers Anuel AA and Daddy Yankee and Colombian singer Karol G with Puerto Rican singer Ozuna and Colombian singer J Balvin from Anuel AA's second studio album Emmanuel, released July 19, 2019, through Anuel AA's label, Real Hasta la Muerte, featuring a music video directed by Marlon Peña. The official music video was immediately popular, and has received over 2.1 billion views on YouTube, placing it among each respective artist's most-viewed videos on the platform.[2] "China" samples the 2000 song "It Wasn't Me" by Jamaican musician Shaggy, which itself interpolates War's “Smile Happy” hence the writers of both songs (despite the latter never appearing on the track) are credited as songwriters for this song. It was also written by Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Ozuna, and J Balvin, and was produced by Puerto Rican record producer Tainy.

It has been described as a reggaetón song with lyrics about infidelity at a nightclub and getting caught red-handed. Commercially, the song peaked at #1 in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Spain, and reached the top 10 in nine other countries. In the United States, it has topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and peaked at #43 on the mainstream Billboard Hot 100. In Europe, the single charted within the top 15 in Switzerland and Italy. In 2020, "China" received Latin Grammy award nominations for Record of the Year and Best Urban Fusion Performance.
