The one great religion of China is the almighty yuan, and it is a jealous god. All other gods are relegated to less favored status at best, or driven out at worst. The pursuit of yuan drives China to the future and its high priests are the businessmen who dole it out to the people. Their word is law and their whims are commandments. Those that live in China are one among many, the best and smartest of a race who believes themselves superior to all other humans. They live in luxury and comfort that kings of old would have envied. Those that live in the colonies are often the undisputed master of an entire world or star system. Perhaps not as comfortable, but the true rulers of China are always looking for the next best way to make a fortune.
