Generally a china cymbal is mounted in that which is considered an "upside-down" position so that upon crashing, the stick doesn't contact the sharp, delicate upturned edge when played with a heavy stroke (which seems to be the main way of playing such a cymbal for many drummers).

I'm not a particularly slow player, yet I don't play fast. I play half-fast.
