Answer 1

Apostrophes are used for showing possession (something belongs to someone or something) and contractions (combining two words and missing some letters).

Example of a possession: "The cow's bell"
"cow's" indicating that the bell belongs to the cow.

Example of a contraction: They're
"They're" is a combination of "they are" just dropping the a.

Answer 2

So in your sentence "Chinas tumultuous background has lent itself to many movie and book themes."

You would need to focus on "Chinas tumultuous"
Which would be incorrect, as the "tumultuous" belongs to "China"

So it should be:
\[\large \color {red}{China's} ~~ tumultuous\]
with the apostrophe in between the s and China so show possession.
