I have played 4 games with China AI and in all this games China was destroyed by another nations (Mongolia, Polynesia, Japan, Denmark) without my interference. What is wrong with China? Why China AI so weak? Or is it just coincidences?
Is China AI always plays bad?

In my experience it's their focus on ranged units, ranged units might be the best in the game but Wu hardly makes anything else, and the poor combat AI just makes her army stand around, getting shot at while they wait for the 1 or 2 meelee units to get into position that you can easily snipe.
I think I've seen her do pretty well in some of the first games I played, but I think I still played random personalities then, and with her rolling a warmonger, the paper maker and suped up generals she can make a pretty good enemy.

I played against her once on the Mediterranean Map, I chose random enemy A.I, on King and I was Arabia, Standard length. She was the best player, other than me, in the game. She had like 30 cities and was on a conquering spree around turn 150 when I finally got an army after her. I took her out easily enough, but that was one of the toughest fights I've had in Civ5. It took me time to get to her because I had to conquer my way through a defunct Bismark to get to her, but she at least matched me on techs and number of units.
It just seems to be random as to whether the A.I takes off, so to speak, or not. My analogy is: The A.I is like a spinning tire, sometimes in a game it just sort of spins staying in one place not doing much, but when it grips it's like an F1 car taking off and really grips.
I've played games on Prince and King that were tougher than the handful I've beat on the harder difficulties.

China is one of my favorite civs to play with.
Every time I play with her she always seems to rush the great wall.
And on or two games shes has just really hated the mongols.

It's kind of funny how she only works if you turn on random personalities, a pretty good example of giving a civ a terrible flavor.
Makes you wonder if they even bothered to really test these things and that with some changes in flavor perhaps some of the other Civs that never get off the ground (Ghandi, Rome, Inca, Polynesia, England, etc) could actually be made into real competitors, let's hope the modding community will fix this once the dll gets released.
