->'''Official Name:''' Republic of China

* DemocracyIsBad: China is the largest democracy on earth, yet it is ripe with corruption, mismanagement and crime, significantly hampering China's development and ability to project its power outside of regional affairs.
* CorruptBureaucrat: Applicable to the entirety of the Chinese civil service. Bureaucrats are often knee-deep in "Black Gold" cases, with some just ignoring their administrative tasks to partake in corrupt schemes involving local politicians, businesses, criminal organizations, and the military.
* {{Realpolitik}}: China negotiates with practically any government that is willing to side with them against the Soviets, and has little interest in the ideological back-and-forth of the Cold War.
* RedScare: The rise of the Soviet Union and the failure of the two nations to reconcile following the Hanoi Talks led to a wave of anti-communist sentiment spreading across China, leading the KMT to ban the Communist Party of China. Even after democratization, China maintained its anti-communist laws.

[[folder:Wen Jiaobao]]

* NecessaryEvil: The KMT ditched their original plans to democratize after the Great Asian War, believing China is not yet prepared for the logistics of implementing democracy in a nation of billions.

->'''Official Name:'''Republic of China

* CommieNazis: Even after their right-wing shift, the KMT took elements from Leninist Vanguardism and adapted them into their political organization via Dang Guo. This is made all the more ironic considering China is locked into a regional dispute with the Soviet Union.

* CommieNazis: Even after their right-wing shift, the KMT took elements from Leninist Vanguardism and adapted them into their political organization via Dang Guo. This is made all the more ironic considering China's vehement opposition to the USSR.

* CommieNazis: Even after their right-wing shift, the KMT took elements from Leninist Vanguardism and adapted them into their political organization via Dang Guo.

* CommieNazis: Oddly enough, the very right-wing KMT took elements from Leninist Vanguardism and adapted them into their political organization via Dang Guo.

* FascistButInefficient: [[spoilerHis attempts to repress pro-democracy protests fail miserably, drawing so much ire against the government's actions to the point where his own loyalists begin to question his legitimacy.]]

* NecessaryEvil: The KMT ditched their original plans to restore democracy after the Great Asian War, believing China is not yet prepared for the logistics of implementing democracy in a nation of billions.

After beating back the Japanese during the Great Asian War, China established itself as a respected regional power. While China has seen unprecedented growth since then, the country is yet to fully recover from the scars of Japanese imperialism and a brutal war that left millions dead.

* PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny: The KMT governs as a vanguard party in a one-party dictatorship, while claiming to follow Sun Yat-sen's original democratic principles.

* EvilReactionary: Wu and his associates are hardline conservatives who oppose any time of political or social reform.
