China's recorded history goes back more than 3000 years. Granted, it was only unified 2200 years ago.
I don't know if any possible interpretation of Chinese history that puts China's formation a mere 500 or 1000 years ago. The Qin dynasty (3rd Century BC) is really the absolute latest point at which you could say China came into existence.
