China also gave the world all kinds of temperate and subtropical foliage and vegetation. All kinds of citrus came from China, along with many other types of trees and shrubs, etc.

Well, the USA also have all the west-side climates and environments, including the very oceanic coast, forests of the Pacific Northwest and hot deserts of the Southwest.
China has the subtropical montane forests east of the Himalayas, though.
Climatically I think the US technically has every climate zone, so it probably wins, but it seems rather lacking in the tropical savanna/monsoonal type climates. China lacks Mediterranean and Oceanic maritime type climates, which is not surprising since they are generally only found on the west coasts of continents: Eurasia's west coast is in Europe.
I just read somewhere that they have a strip they consider Med. I know because they are trying to grow olive trees, grapes, etc.
In China? Where? There's nowhere that's truly med. They grow grapes in the Turpan depression/basin in Northwestern China (Xinjiang) but that's an arid climate.
