China is an unincorporated community in southern Howell County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The community is located along Missouri Route JJ, approximately 8mile south-southeast of West Plains. The South Fork Spring River is approximately 1mile north of the site. The China Union Church sits adjacent to Route JJ at the location.[1]
