The base of the Chinese number system is ten.
base 5
The system is essentially base 10, since a numeral can always be broken into parts for each power of ten: M CM LX VII 1 9 6 7 It's base is: 10 because it represents the state of an abacus (which has ones and fives for each base ten digit), and agrees with their base ten names for numbers (using hundreds, thousands, and so on). It is not a _positional_ system (which accounts for the lack of a zero) but that does not mean it is not a _base ten_ system. I've somewhere heard it described as a sort of mix of bases five and ten, but I don't think that's really significant. Essentially it is base ten, with combinations of symbols used for each digit.
In any system of counting, there are exactly the same number of digits as the base. They go from 0 to one less than the base.
