Since China is in Asia, if I visit China why can’t I say: “I visited both China and Asia”?

As per another question same as this one.

Unless you are talking to someone who does not understand basic geography, it’s implied in your answer.

if you say I’ve been to China, that’s it, you went to an Asian country.

if you say you visited Asia, then the follow up question is going to be which one (s)?

Because that implies China is outside Asia. People would think you're an idiot who doesn't understand geography, and that you have visited two countries - The sentence implies that you've visited China, which you believe is outside Asia, and another country inside Asia you don't know the name of.

China is one country whereas Asia is a continent comprising many countries. You will have to say that you visited or will visit China, one country.

[J9inva]

You can but it’s kinda redundant.
