Yes, but please be aware that China is by far the strongest CIV in this game. China has just been through the longest Golden Age period that I've ever seen in a game. The current military power of China is unchallenged.
I'd prefer to see China is the hands of some peaceful player rather than a warmonger, otherwise this game will not last long and all the fun (if you can call that fun) will be exclusively to China.
Michkov, you are the game's administrator, why don't you take over China's destiny? You could keep things rolling and act like the major power that could establish the balance in the game (almost like the US are doing in the real world). In any case, in my opinion, China will win this game, and it has the choice to win it easily in a peaceful way. That's my opinion.
People get interested for different reasons. I joined the game to try defensive war against technologically and numerically superior foe, you can turn Arabia back to Bathseba or AI if China is to become completely peaceful.
