1 is correct

Hi Star! "I live in China." The sentence is written in the simple present tense. It simply means that you live in China right now. "I am live in China" is incorrect grammar in that sentence context. "I am living in China." This sentence is present continuous tense. This tense means that you are living in China and you continue to live there. It is a continuous action for now.
