Is that a serious question? I thought it was common sense that traveling with an expired passport is a non-starter. (relax- just kidding ).

Its ok, since you are new to traveling, the first order of business is to make sure your passport is still valid. There maybe some commonwealth countries that might still let you in for a just-expired passport, but definitely not China. Next, make sure you got the necessary visa (if your destination requires it). You can get a visa to China from the China Travel Service:
