China
China's country codes facilitate global communication and commerce. Its ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is CN, with the alpha-3 code CHN, used for standardized international data exchange. The international calling code is +86, required when dialing into Chinese landlines or mobile numbers from abroad. The country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) is .cn, essential for registering local web presence and digital branding. China's official currency is the Renminbi, whose ISO 4217 code is CNY, widely referenced in financial documents, forex trading, and cross-border transactions. These identifiers are critical for telecommunications, internet infrastructure, and economic operations involving China.

From outside China, dial your international access prefix, then +86, then the national number. Drop the leading trunk zero when the destination numbering plan requires it.
