Its nonsense. China as a national and cultural entity is not 76 years old. Changing constitutions does not make it a different country, it is only americans who adhere to that belief system because their country didnt exist prior to their constitution.
Yes, it does. Country and Nation are not synonyms. Country refers to Government while Nation is about culture.
China as a Nation, that is a people with a shared culture and languages, is thousands of years old. China as a Country is less than 100 years old.
Since you are presumably not American how would you answer this question: How old is Panama?
Multiple chinese dynasties lasted longer than 250 years
