Preposition problem (on china or in china)

[nq:1]Hi, I would like to ask "economy in china" or "economy on china". Which one is correct? Thanks Note: Please correct me if you find any mistakes in my sentences.[/nq]

I should say "Something happen in China" or "Something happen on China". Which one is better? Sorry for the confusion.

You should probably say "Something {happened / is happening} in China". "Something happened on China" is not really possible in idiomatic English. "Something happened {over / under} China" is possible, however.

"Something happened in China."
Things "happen in" most places, like countries, regions, and cities.

I was going to ask about this, but hesitated because I thought we'd been through it before, when others of our friends from the U.K. reported that the name of these stores goes without an apostrophe but in Friday's Wall Street Journal, right there on page C12, I see a photo of the front
