have you ever been to or in
Hi Friends
I've just faced with this sentence "Have you ever been to China?"
Now the question is what's the difference between "to" and "in" here or in this case "in" is completely wrong?

Thank you in advance

Answer

If talking to a non-Chinese person (by which I mean one born outside China) then we would use "to," as including "to," in the question implies that a journey was made.

If you use the word 'in,' then this implication does not really apply.

Answer

"to" is a preposition of movement. It refers to the action towards something or some direction in the space. 
"in" is a preposition of place, referring to the certain place where you are physically.
