Republic of China

Official Name: Republic of China

Ruling Party: Guomindang^note Chinese Nationalist Party

Ideology: Xunzheng^note Paternalism

The period of darkness in China started in the northeast, where the Chinese people fought bravely to defend their homeland against the ambitions of the Japanese imperialists. Unfortunately, they were defeated and forced into slavery under the samurai.

In this situation, General Long Yun and others, who had been engaged in anti-Japanese guerrilla activities in China despite the defeat in the war, struggled alone, dreaming of one day exterminating the Japanese Imperialists and realizing a free and open China. Mao Anying, Xu Xiangqian, and Hsu Li-nong continued their dream, and 28 years after their defeat, the Chinese people and their Vietnamese compatriots launched the Great Patriotic War (GAW) with an uprising. After a decade-long battle, the NPA entered the Forbidden City on April 30, 1985, and raised the blue sky, white sun, and a wholly red earth.

Today, in 1996, the Pearl River Delta and Shanghai are the main economic centers of development, benefiting mainly from GGR loans, and economists around the world predict that by the mid-21st century the region will surpass Japan as the number one GDP in Asia and the fourth largest in the world. On the Great Wall, after the GAW, the Cold War began in the form of China and Manchuria and Japan behind it.

After suffering a crushing defeat in the GAW, the Japanese Empire withdrew from all of mainland China except Manchuria, and the Kuomintang forces that moved in attempted to incorporate Guangdong Province into China.

About 15 years after the war, the Pearl River Delta is located in the largest economic city in China, and the liberalization policy of the former ruler, Administrator Morita, not only continues to maintain the high standard of living of the Chinese and Zhu people, but also attracts a number of Japanese companies, including Chinese and Sony, and German and American capital. In addition, the languages of various major countries have become intermingled due to increased competition among foreign companies.
