2020: The Grand Game 2.0 (MT/ALT-HIST/NATION/OOC)

[The National Dominion of Hungary]

Edited!

Seems solid, welcome aboard!

App should be up tonight!

Great! Looking forward to it!

I have edited my app! And yeah those carriers are Type 003 and Type 004.

Okay here's round two.

A: A GDP per capita of 38000 is not believable. Economic growth doesn't happen that fast and if it does it comes with an inflation crisis that brings it right back down. Something around 20/25 000 tops is more reasonable. That's still about twice the size of the modern Chinese economy at the end of the day.

B: China has 71 Destroyers, while the RL PLAN only has 49. China has 69 compared to the RL PLAN has 41 with 3 fitting out. Now this is all cool if you are keeping older early cold war models in service but not if you're going for a more advanced force, you'll need to downsize a bit. Somehow, a democratic country having a larger navy than it's authoritarian equivalent just seems odd. I can extend myself to accepting one Type 003, but they Type 004 isn't even under construction yet IRL. So that'll probably be one Type 001 and two Type 002's and a Type 003, it's cool if you want to have another 003 under construction but not finished.

C: See established lore, SCO and JDSA ain't that friendly

Nationstates Name - Chewion
Nation Name - United Kingdom of Australasia / Australasia
Capital - Canberra
Type of Government - Federal Semi-Constitutional Executive Parliamentary Monarchy

The Government of Australasia is split into the traditional three branches.

The Executive: The Executive branch is headed by the King, who also is the Grand Duke of Australia, who has powers similar to that of the IRL French Presidency in that he is in charge of the armed forces, security, foreign relations, can sign executive orders (called Royal Orders, although these can be overturned by a majority of both houses of the legislature.), appoints the Prime Minister (In practice this is the leader of the majority party/coalition but there is no legal obligation to do this), chairs the Council of Ministers with the PM as co-chair, and is nominally in charge of the various departments and agencies of the Kingdom although most running of day to day affairs is handled by the Council of Ministers who report to the Prime Minister who, if necessary or requested, reports to the King.

The other part of the Executive branch is the aforementioned Council of Ministers which is comprised of the various Cabinet Ministers of the Government who run the various Ministries of Australasia, the Prime Minister, The Māori Chief, Grand Cheif of the Aboriginals, Grand Chief of the Torres Strait Islanders, and Senior Royals. The Council of Ministers is mostly a place for discussion and the airing of issues however there is some authority given to it such as a review of government policy.

The Prime Minister is responsible to the Parliament in terms of staying in power, however, he reports on the affairs of Government and, on issues of defense, security, and foreign policy they take orders from the King. In practice, the King also has some influence the domestic affairs of Government when the Prime Minister and party in power is of a like mind, however, this is normally exclusively done behind the scenes during discussions between the King and PM.

The Legislature: The Legislature of the Kingdom is made up of the House of Representatives (lower house) and the Senate which together form the Parliament. In addition to this, the Cabinet occupies a weird status as it is primarily an organ of the legislature but it also has some oversight from the executive invested in the King's relatively strong direct control over the various ministries, departments, and agencies.

Misc: Australasia is also divided into three archduchies those being the Archduchy of Australia, the Archduchy of New Zealand, and the Archduchy of Papua New Guinea. Each Archduchy has an Archduke or Archduchess in addition to their own parliament. The only exception to this is New Caledonia which is a semi-autonomous entity with its own parliament. All Archduchies are unitary states with the exception of Australia which is made up of the irl territories and states of Australia, each with its own state-level parliament, premier, and the governor-general and collectively referred to as the Commonwealth.

Also, the Monarch can be forced into abdication by a 3/4ths majority vote of the public in a referendum triggered by the 2/3rds vote of both houses of Parliament. In this case, the heir would become King/Queen.

Extra military information -
The Australasian military includes a dedicated Marine Corps, the Australasian Royal Marine Corps, that is subordinate to the Department of the Navy. This force is 7,500 strong with a reserve of 1,000 and modeled after the IRL Royal Marines/US Marines. There is also a 500 strong Tier One Special Forces Unit called the Royal Marine Raider Force.

The Navy also includes its own special forces modeled after the Special Boat Service of the IRL UK.

The Australasian Guardsmen serve in a territorial defense role and are only on duty when activated in rare occasions.

The Australasian military is much higher of a priority than IRL and has a larger naval focus owing to the perceived lack of commitment from the UAK or Columbia when it comes to the South Pacific region. In addition, the military enjoys a larger domestic arms industry that produces more domestic military gear including small arms, infantry equipment, vehicles, and ships.

Australasia has also started fielding its domestically designed and produced MBT, the Sentinel 2.

The Australasian Air Force and Navy also field a limited number of F-35A and F-35B aircraft purchased from Columbia.

A domestic 5th Generation fighter, the F-42 Kookaburra, is also in production and recently entered into service with the RAAF. A naval version for carriers is also in development and expected to be fielded in the coming years.

The Multi-Role Vessel is based on the IRL HMNZS Canterbury.

Founding:
In 1901, John Adrian Louis Hope became the first Governor-General of Australasia following the federation on the various colonies in the region. Then, in 1918, following the end of the First World War and riding on a high tide of nationalism, Australasia successfully petitioned to become a Principality under the British Crown with Hope becoming the first Grand Prince of Australasia and assuming more direct executive powers akin to the American President. Following World War 2, another rise in nationalism in Australasia led to the Parliament and Grand Prince petitioning the UAK to allow Australasia to become a fully independent Kingdom while remaining in the Commonwealth which was granted.

1950: King John I dies of old age and is succeeded by his son the now King Victor I.

1962: King Victor I dies of old age and is succeeded by his son the now King Charles I.

1972: Australasia opens its first Nuclear Power Plant outside of Perth.

1980: Labor comes to power for the first time in Australasian history.

1984: A low-level insurgency starts in New Caledonia by French-speaking nationalists.

1985: As the insurgency grows, blame is leveled at Labor who are forced from power in a snap election losing to the Liberal-United Australasian coalition.

1990: King Charles I dies of old age and is succeeded by his son the now King Victor II.

2014: The insurgency in New Caledonia comes to an end officially as the Mouvement pour l'indépendance and Australasian government sign a peace deal seeing New Caledonia given its own parliament separate from the New Zealand one it was previously under. Later that same year, Australasia completes its first domestic manned space flight when Angus Goodwin, Martha Lewis, and Dennis Rondoù successfully enter space.

2020: While on a tour of New Caledonia, King Victor II is assassinated by a radical Franco-Melanesian separatist at a public dinner. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince, 22-year-old Alexander, becomes the new King.

Major shifts from OTL -
Australia formed with New Zealand, Papua, New Caledonia, and Fiji included known as Australasia.

Australasia became a hybrid system monarchy under an Australian monarch.

Australia is much more open to nuclear power.

Bombardier is an Australasian company and not Canadian (Discussed with Columbia).

Australasia is also a much more conservative nation than IRL.

Australasia has a bigger focus on national security and defense than irl owing to the hostility in the region.

Total Population - 1.6126 billion
Demographics -

The national census of 2020 recorded the population of the People's Republic of China as approximately 1.6126 billion. About 16.60% of the population were 14 years old or younger, 70.14% were between 15 and 59 years old, and 13.26% were over 60 years old. China used to make up much of the world's poor; now it makes up much of the world's middle class. An upper-income country by Western standards, China's rapid growth has pulled hundreds of millions—980 million, to be more precise—of its people out of poverty since 1978. By 2013, less than 2% of the Chinese population lived below the international poverty line of US$1.9 per day, down from 88% in 1981. From 2009 to 2018, the unemployment rate in China has averaged about 3%. As of December 2021, China's population stood at 1.413 billion. According to the 2020 census, 91.11% of the population was Han Chinese, and 8.89% were minorities. China's population growth rate is only 0.03%, ranking 159th in the world. China conducted its sixth national population census in 2010, and its seventh census was completed in late 2020, with data released in May 2021.

Given concerns about population growth, China implemented a two-child limit during the 1970s, and, in 1979, began to advocate for an even stricter limit of one child per family. Beginning in the mid-1980s, however, given the unpopularity of the strict limits, China began to allow some major exemptions, particularly in rural areas, resulting in what was a "1.5"-child policy from the mid-1980s to 2015 (ethnic minorities were also exempt from one child limits). The next major loosening of the policy was enacted in December 2013, allowing families to have two children if one parent is an only child. In 2016, the one-child policy was replaced in favour of a two-child policy. According to data from the 2020 census, China's total fertility rate is 1.3.

The policy, along with a traditional preference for boys, may have contributed to an imbalance in the sex ratio at birth. According to the 2010 census, the sex ratio at birth was 118.06 boys for every 100 girls, which is beyond the normal range of around 105 boys for every 100 girls. The 2010 census found that males accounted for 51.27 per cent of the total population. However, China's sex ratio is more balanced than it was in 1953 when males accounted for 51.82 per cent of the total population.

Military Branches - The Chinese Army is the principal military force of the Republic of China. The Chinese Army consists of five service branches: the Ground Force, Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, and Strategic Support Force. The president of the Republic is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and forms military policy with the Department of Defense (DoD) federal executive department, acting as the principal organ by which military policy is carried out.

Total military size - 2.2 million active personnel with 5.2 million in reserve.
Breakdown of Ground Sector - 975,000 active personnel.
The Chinese Army is the land-based service branch of the Chinese armed forces and the largest and oldest branch of the entire Chinese armed forces. The Chinese army can trace its lineage to the republican era.

The Chinese Army has a standing regular army and reserve force. Although conscription is employed in China by law, mandatory military service has not been implemented since 1949 as the Army has been able to recruit sufficient numbers voluntarily. Chinese militia is not a component of the Army, however, they could provide a certain degree of reserve function, which was indicated by the "Militia Military Training and Evaluation Outline" released by the Department Of Defence in 2007.

Army branches of service are composed of infantry (including mechanized infantry), tanker, artillery, aviation, military engineering, anti-chemical (nuclear, biological and chemical defence), signaller, special operation, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, etc. These branches of service have their respective military education institutions.

Chinese Army operational structure reflects China's strategic missions, political environment, and geographical circumstances. There are 13 corps sized group armies since the end of April 2017, divided among five Theater commands — Eastern, Southern, Northern, Western and Central. Within the group armies, the old divisions are being downsized into brigades. Each group army includes six manoeuvre combined arms brigades, fire support/artillery brigades, air defence brigades, aviation brigades, special operations brigades, combat support brigades, and sustainment brigades.

The manoeuvre combat components of the group armies are combined arms brigades including a mix of heavy combined arms brigades, medium combined arms brigades, light combined arms brigades, amphibious combined arms brigades, and mountain combined arms brigades. The practice is functionally similar to the US Army brigade combat team concept with unique modifications influenced by China's terrain diversity, strategic priority, political system, and military history.

The Chinese Army's heavy, medium, and light combined arms brigades share a similar modular construct, which resembles its superior and subordinate units at the group army and battalion level. A typical Army combined arms brigade has the brigade HQ, four manoeuvre combat battalions, and other support battalions. For instance, a heavy combined arms brigade includes four combined arms battalions, one artillery battalion, one air defence battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, one combat support battalion, and one sustainment battalion.

Combined arms battalions apply a structure drawn from the brigade echelon. For example, heavy combined arms battalions consist of battalions HQ company (including a subordinate medic, reconnaissance, and air defence platoons), four manoeuvre combat companies including two tank companies (14 tanks per company), and two mechanized infantry companies (14 vehicles per company), one firepower company, and one combat support/sustainment company.

Special operations forces:

The Department Of Defence first became interested in modern special warfare in the mid-1980s. The Department Of Defence (DOD) believed that the next war would be a short, fast-paced conflict on the periphery rather than a total war on Chinese territories, and conventional infantry-orientated ground forces in their mass numbers could no longer meet the requirements. It specialises in rapid reaction combat in a limited regional war under high-tech conditions, commando operations, counter-terrorism, and intelligence gathering. The size of the Special Operations Forces is estimated at 7,000 ~ 14,000 troops.

Heavy equipment

The CRA (Chinese Republican Army) is heavily mechanized with armoured platforms, advanced electronic warfare capability, concentrated firepower, and modern weapon systems that are competitive against Western counterparts. The CRA ground force is divided into highly mechanized heavy, medium, and light combined arms units. Heavy combined arms brigades are armoured with main battle tanks and tracked infantry fighting vehicles, medium combined arms brigades are armed with tracked or wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and light combined arms brigades are mobilized with armoured personal carriers, MRAP trucks, or armoured cars.

At the combined corps level, the CRA employs combined arms brigades, heavy artillery systems, medium-range air defence systems, special forces, army aviation units, and various engineering, and electronic warfare support systems. Weapon systems at this level include PLZ-05 howitzer, PCL-181 howitzer, PHL-03/16 multiple rocket launcher, AFT-10 missile carrier, and HQ-16 air defence system. Air assets within the aviation brigade include Z-10 attack helicopter, Z-19 recon helicopter, Z-20 utility helicopter, etc. Unmanned aerial systems are employed extensively in PLA formations of all types.

At the combined arms brigade level, brigade HQ can deploy various combined arms battalions composited with tanks, assault guns, and infantry fight vehicles (IFV) such as the ZTZ-99A tank, the ZBD-04A IFV, the ZBL-08 IFV, the ZTL-11 assault gun, and the CSK-181 MRAP fast-attack vehicle. Fire support, reconnaissance and air defence battalion are equipped with self-propelled artilleries, rocket launchers, missile carriers, unmanned aerial vehicles, and air defence systems such as PLZ-07, PLL-09, PCL-161/171, PHL-11, PHZ-11, PGZ-09/95, AFT-9/10, PGL-AA and HQ-17/A.

At battalion level, battalion HQ can direct tank company, assault gun company, a mechanized infantry company, and firepower company to provide rapid close-combat manoeuvre, with equipment including the PCP001 rapid-firing mortar, PLL-05/PLZ-10 self-propelled gun-mortar, AFT-8 missile carrier, MANPADS, and crew-served weapon systems such as QJG-85 heavy machine gun, PP-87 mortar, QLZ-04 automatic grenade launcher, and HJ-8E wire-guided missile.

Under each mechanized infantry company are standard infantry platoons and a firepower platoon, which is equipped with lightweight mortar, anti-material rifle, 35 mm automatic grenade launcher, rocket launcher, and heavy machine gun. At company and platoon level, a mechanized infantry squad consists of nine infantrymen, in whose seven members are dismounted during combat. Infantry squads vary in composition based on the type of combined arms battalions. Medium and light infantry squads equip reusable rocket launchers to improve anti-armour and anti-fortification capability, whereas heavy infantry squads have no squad-level rockets, instead of relying upon fire support from the firepower platoon, or their own ZBD-04A infantry fighting vehicle.

Individual and crew-served weapons

The standard issue rifle of PLA infantrymen is QBZ-95/191 chambered in proprietary 5.8×42mm, and the sidearm is QSZ-92 chambered in 5.8×21mm DAP92. The vehicle crew is equipped with QBZ-95B short-barreled carbine. The QCW-05 is a 5.8 mm submachine gun used by special forces and non-combat personnel. Sharpshooting is provided by the QBU-88/191 marksman rifle and QBU-141/202 sniper rifle. Indirect fire is provided by the QLG-10 grenade launcher. The QBS-09 combat shotgun is issued for door breaching and close-quarters battle. The QJB-95 serves as the squad's automatic weapon with its 75-round drum magazine.

PF-89, PF-97, and DZJ-08 disposable rocket launchers could be distributed on an ad hoc basis to infantry squads for direct-fire applications. Specialized fire support weapons, often equipped with dedicated rocketeers, or members of the firepower platoons, include the HJ-12 anti-tank guided missile, PF-98 rocket launcher, the QLZ-87 and QLZ-04 35 mm automatic grenade launcher, the QBU-10 anti-material rifle, QLU-11 sniper grenade launcher, QJG-02 anti-air machine gun, QJZ-89 heavy machine gun, and the PP-89 60 mm mortar. The larger calibre PP-87 82 mm mortar is fielded at the battalion level's firepower company.

Infantry equipment and uniforms

In 2014, the cost to equip a single Chinese soldier was about 9,400 yuan (US$1,523). The standard kit includes Type 07 camouflage uniforms, helmets, tactical vest, gas mask, backpack, first-aid kit, infantry weapons, woven belt, rain cap, camouflaged uniform, kettle, and combat boots. However, regular infantrymen rarely use the issued body armour stored in the armoury. Before 2015, only special operation detachments and soldiers in the active mission were equipped with body armour.

The infantry equipment such as heavy body armour, personal radio, and knee pads has been seen in the standard kit in 2015 when CRA was deployed into high-risk areas, as observed for units participating in UN Peacekeeping and counter-piracy operations. The CRA has started to procure body armour for soldiers on large scale since March 2020, with 3.4 million body armour on order, which includes 930,000 units of plates for universal bulletproof vests and 467,000 units of plates for an enhanced bulletproof vest.

The Type 19 uniform with new king kong digital camouflage patterns, tactical vest, backpack, protective gear, and eyewear started to replace the Type 07 uniform series in 2019. Along with the uniform, a new communication system, personal computer, tactical interface, and assault rifle family QBZ-191, new variants of pistol family QSZ-92 along with whole new kinds of weapon systems are also being adopted by the PLAGF since 2019. These new upgrades are components of the new Integrated Soldier Combat System, a program aiming to overhaul the CRA's infantry equipment.

Breakdown of Naval Sector - Chinese Navy is the maritime service branch of the Chinese Armed Forces. The Chinese Navy traces its lineage to naval units fighting during the Sino-Japanese War and was established on 23 April 1940. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, the Soviet Union assisted the CN in the form of naval advisers and the export of equipment and technology.

Until the late 1980s, the CN was largely a riverine and littoral force (brown-water navy). In the 1990s, with a shift toward a more Forward-oriented foreign and security policy, the leaders of the Chinese military were freed from worrying about overland border disputes. Having traditionally been subordinated to the Chinese Ground Force, Department Of Navy leaders were able to advocate for a renewed attention towards the seas.

Over time CN has turned into regional blue water and offensive navy. As the CN continue to expand regular exercises and naval patrols into the South China Sea have increased, particularly near the Senkaku Islands and the island of Taiwan.

Chinese Navy is composed of five branches; the Submarine Force, the Surface Force, the Coastal Defense Force, the Marine Corps and the Naval Air Force. With a personnel strength of 250,000 personnel, including 15,000 marines and 26,000 naval air force personnel, it is the second-largest navy in the world in terms of tonnage which stands at 2,820,222 tonnes, only behind the United States Navy, and has the largest number of major surface combatants of any navy globally with an overall battle force of approximately 360 surface ships and submarines — in comparison, the United States Navy's battle force is approximately 293 ships.

Chinese Navy is organized into several departments for purposes of command, control and coordination. Main operating forces are organized into fleets, each with its headquarters, and a commander (a Rear Admiral or Vice Admiral). All CN headquarters are subordinate to the Department Of Defence and Department Of Navy.

Fleets:

Chinese Navy Navy is divided into three fleets:

The North Sea Fleet, based in the Yellow Sea and headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Province.

The East Sea Fleet, based in the East China Sea and headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.

The South Sea Fleet, based in the South China Sea and headquartered in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province.
Each fleet consists of surface forces (destroyers, frigates, amphibious vessels etc.), submarine forces, coastal defence units, and aircraft.

Branches:

Chinese Navy Surface Force:

The Chinese Navy Surface Force consists of all surface warships in service with the CN. They are organised into flotillas spread across the three main fleets.

Chinese Navy Submarine Force

Chinese Navy Submarine Force consists of all nuclear and diesel-electric submarines in service with the CN. They are organised into flotillas spread across the three main fleets.

Chinese Navy Coastal Defence Force:

Chinese Navy Coastal Defence Force is a land-based branch of the CN in charge of coastal defence, with a strength of around 35,000 personnel. Also known as the coastal defence troops, they serve to defend China's coastal and littoral areas from invasion via amphibious landings or air attacks.

Between the 1950s and 1960s, the Coastal Defense Force was primarily assigned to repel any Japanese attempts to infiltrate, invade and harass the Chinese coastline. After the Sino-Soviet split and the abandonment of Japanese plans to recapture the Mainland, the Coastal Defense Force was focused on defending China's coast from a possible Soviet sea-borne invasion throughout the 1960s to 1980s.

With the renewal in the power of the Soviet Union, the threat of an amphibious invasion of China has remained and therefore the branch is often considered to be a vital component of the CN, but its importance has declined especially as the surface warships of the CN continue to improve in terms of anti-ship and air-defence capabilities and the CN's power projection begins to extend beyond the first island chain.

Today the primary weapons of the coastal defence troops are the HY-2, YJ-82 and C-602 anti-ship missiles.

Chinese Navy-Marine Corps:

Marine Corps was originally established in the 1950s and then re-established in 1979 under the CN organisation. It consists of around 30,000 marines and is based in the South China Sea with the South Sea Fleet. The Marine Corps are considered elite troops and are rapid deployment forces trained primarily in amphibious warfare and sometimes as paratroopers to establish a beachhead or act as a spearhead during assault operations against enemy targets.

The marines are equipped with the standard Type 95 assault rifles as well as other small arms and personnel equipment, and a blue/littoral camouflage uniform as standard. The marines are also equipped with amphibious armoured fighting vehicles (including amphibious light tanks such as the Type 63, assault vehicles such as the ZTD-05 and IFVs such as ZBD-05), helicopters, naval artillery, anti-aircraft weapon systems and short-range surface-to-air missiles.

With the CN's accelerating efforts to expand its capabilities beyond territorial waters, it would be likely for the Marine Corps to play a greater role in terms of being an offshore expeditionary force similar to the USMC and Royal Marines.

Chinese Navy Naval Airforce:

Chinese Navy Naval Airforce (CNNAF)is the naval aviation branch of the CN and has a strength of around 25,000 personnel and 2,000 aircraft. It operates similar hardware to the Chinese Air Force, including fighter aircraft, bombers, attack aircraft, tankers, reconnaissance/early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft, transport aircraft and helicopters of various roles.

The Naval Air Force has traditionally operated from coastal air bases and received older aircraft than the PLAAF with less ambitious steps toward mass modernization. Advancements in new technologies, weaponry and aircraft acquisition were made after 2000.

Breakdown of Airforce Sector - Chinese Airforce is an aerial service branch of the Chinese Armed Forces. The ROCAF was founded in 1920 by the Kuomintang; it was later placed under civilian control in 1947 and it is composed of 5 branches which are aviation, anti-aircraft artillery, surface-to-air missiles (SAM), radar, and Airborne Corps.

The Republic Of China Air Force operates a large and varied fleet of some 5,010+ aircraft, of which around 2,100 are combat aircraft (fighter, attack and bombers). According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, PLAAF combat pilots acquire an average of 100-150 flying hours per year.

History - Since China is such an old civilisation and country I'll explain the history since the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

In the mid-19th century, the Qing dynasty experienced Western imperialism in the Opium Wars with Britain and France. China was forced to pay compensation, open treaty ports, allow extraterritoriality for foreign nationals, and cede Hong Kong to the British under the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, the first of the Unequal Treaties. The First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) resulted in Qing China's loss of influence in the Korean Peninsula, as well as the cession of Taiwan to Japan. The Qing dynasty also began experiencing internal unrest in which tens of millions of people died, especially in the White Lotus Rebellion, the failed Taiping Rebellion that ravaged southern China in the 1850s and 1860s and the Dungan Revolt (1862–1877) in the northwest. The initial success of the Self-Strengthening Movement of the 1860s was frustrated by a series of military defeats in the 1880s and 1890s.

In the 19th century, the great Chinese diaspora began. Losses due to emigration were added to by conflicts and catastrophes such as the Northern Chinese Famine of 1876–1879, in which between 9 and 13 million people died. The Guangxu Emperor drafted a reform plan in 1898 to establish a modern constitutional monarchy, but these plans were thwarted by Empress Dowager Cixi. The ill-fated anti-foreign Boxer Rebellion of 1899–1901 further weakened the dynasty. Although Cixi sponsored a program of reforms, the Xinhai Revolution of 1911–1912 brought an end to the Qing dynasty and established the Republic of China. Puyi, the last Emperor of China, abdicated in 1912.

On 1 January 1912, the Republic of China was established, and Sun Yat-sen of the Kuomintang (the KMT or Nationalist Party) was proclaimed provisional president. On 12 February 1912, regent Empress Dowager Longyu sealed the imperial abdication decree on behalf of 4-year-old Puyi, the last emperor of China, ending 5,000 years of monarchy in China. In March 1912, the presidency was given to Yuan Shikai, a former Qing general who in 1915 proclaimed himself Emperor of China. In the face of popular condemnation and opposition from his own Beiyang Army, he was forced to abdicate and re-establish the republic in 1916.

After Yuan Shikai died in 1916, China was politically fragmented. Its Beijing-based government was internationally recognized but virtually powerless; regional warlords controlled most of its territory. In the late 1920s, the Kuomintang under Chiang Kai-shek, the then Principal of the Republic of China Military Academy, was able to reunify the country under its control with a series of deft military and political manoeuvrings, known collectively as the Northern Expedition. The Kuomintang moved the nation's capital to Nanjing and implemented "political tutelage", an intermediate stage of political development outlined in Sun Yat-sen's San-min program for transforming China into a modern democratic state. The political division in China made it difficult for Chiang to battle the communist-led People's Liberation Army (PLA), against whom the Kuomintang had been warring since 1927 in the Chinese Civil War. This war continued successfully for the Kuomintang, especially after the PLA retreated in the Long March until Japanese aggression and the 1936 Xi'an Incident forced Chiang to confront Imperial Japan.

The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), a theatre of World War II, forced an uneasy alliance between the Kuomintang and the Communists. Japanese forces committed numerous war atrocities against the civilian population; in all, as many as 20 million Chinese civilians died. An estimated 40,000 to 300,000 Chinese were massacred in the city of Nanjing alone during the Japanese occupation. During the war, China, along with the United Kingdom Of Anglois, the United States, and the German Empire was referred to as "trusteeship of the powerful" and was recognized as the Allied Big Four in Declaration By The United Nations. Throughout 1942 and 1943 the Chinese managed to slowly retake ground inch by bloody inch thanks to Columbian material support and training as well as a large number of Columbian volunteer pilots managing to help the previously weak and struggling Chinese air force to gain air parity with the Japanese while in the Pacific, Columbian forces began inching closer to Japan in bloody landing after bloody landing. The great naval battles of the Pacific War proved the Age of the Battleship to be over. With ever more crucial Japanese sea lanes being cut with every month, Japan's defeat seemed only a matter of time and indeed, by late 1944, Columbian troops were landing on Kyushu, but with casualties that horrified the Columbian public at home. Forcing the Columbian President Roosevelt to enter into negotiations with the Japanese, to the great protests of China and Chiang Kai-Shek. On the 21'st of November 1944, the Peace of Canberra ended the Pacific War, Japan lost nearly all of its gains in China but retained Taiwan and the Kinmen Isles, as well as retaining control of Korea. Chiang Kai-Shek, deeply depressed over the "Columbian Betrayal '' and his perceived failure to liberate all of China from the Japanese, retreated from politics, leading to the rise of Wang Jingwei and Mao Zedong. China among the other great powers is considered one of the Victors Of The War. But the betrayal from UASC will shape China in the coming decades.

The CCP had declared several areas of the country as the Chinese Soviet Republic (Jiangxi Soviet), in November 1931 in Ruijin, Jiangxi. The Jiangxi Soviet was wiped out by the KMT armies in 1934 and was relocated to Yan'an in Shaanxi where the Long March concluded in 1935. It was the base of the communists before major combat in the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949. Afterwards, the Chian Kai Shek and Nationalist forces fought Communists everywhere from streets to hills with support from other anti-communist nations. They gained control of mainland China, and the CCP was eradicated with some of its surviving members retreating to Vietnam, Mongolia and Cambodia. In 1950, the Chinese Army captured Hainan and incorporated Tibet. However, the remaining Communist forces continued to wage an insurgency in western China throughout the 1950s. With the death of Chiang Kai-Shek in 1953, most expected Wang Jingwei to replace him as the leader of China, what happened instead was a coup orchestrated by the KMT-Right led by Dai Li who used his control over the Chinese security apparatus to purge the KMT of its leftist elements and secure his control over the party and the country as a whole. This coupled with the Trial of the 55 where Wang, Mao and other leading members of the KMT-Left were charged with crimes such as treason and collaboration with the Japanese occupiers during the Pacific War and sentenced to death. Where many had expected China to lurch toward socialism and closer ties with the Comintern under Wang, it instead turned hard to the right under Li who proceeded to rapidly industrialize China with a series of brutal economic plans which while it did give the country a strong industrial base and the solid military-industrial complex, it came at the cost of significant human suffering.

China developed an independent industrial system and its nuclear weapons. The Chinese population increased from 550 million in 1950 to 900 million in 1974.

Elder Deng Xiaoping a prominent member of Kuomintang power in 1978, instituted significant economic reforms. This marked China's transition to a mixed economy with an increasingly open-market environment. China adopted its current constitution on 4 December 1982. The adoption of the constitution marked a significant point in Chinese history. The constitution transitioned China into a democracy. Under the constitution, China became a Federal Unitary semi-presidential Constitutional Republic with an elected parliament. Restrictions on religious freedom, political freedom, and speech freedom were removed.

Jian Zenin, li Peng, and Zhu Rongji led the new democracy in the 1990s. Under their administration, China's economic performance pulled an estimated 150 million peasants out of poverty and sustained an average annual gross domestic product growth rate of 11.2%. British Hong Kong and Spanish Macau returned to China in 1997 and 1999, respectively, as the Hong Kong and Macau special administrative regions under the principle of One country, two systems. The country joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 and maintained its high rate of economic growth under Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao's leadership in the 2000s.

Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party has led the nation since the 2015 elections as the President Of the Republic and has pursued large-scale efforts to reform China's economy and has also reformed the one-child policy and penal system, as well as instituting a vast anti-corruption crackdown. In 2013, China initiated the Belt and Road Initiative, a global infrastructure investment project.

In recent years, China has been worried about facing three different rivals on multiple fronts. UASC, USSR and Empire Of Japan and their influence in the region have created tensions on the Asian continent and especially in Indo-Pacific. China is currently locked in a Cold War on three different fronts USSR on the Mongolian border and its influence in Cambodia and Vietnam. Japan to the east with its puppet in the form of Korea. Sino-Japanese relations have always been worse but in recent years they have deteriorated rapidly the most contentious issue is the independence of the Korean Peninsula. And finally the United States. China and the Chinese people never forgot how the United States betrayed the Chinese people in their darkest time during the Sino-Japanese War and how the United States handed Taiwan and other territories to the Japanese on a silver plate. US-China rivalry can be seen everywhere in the world. The US is trying to contain the rise of China which has emerged as a new Global Superpower. Even though both countries are the largest trading partners their relationship has become cold and icy.

This is on top of the existing tensions between China and the Comintern, as China has long sought to annex Mongolia while ripping Vietnam and Cambodia out of the Soviet alliance. The only thing that is stopping China from doing so is the Chinese dependency on Soviet Oil but in recent years China inspired by Anglois has rapidly accelerated towards clean energy methods and is building new nuclear power plants all over the country followed by hydroelectric and solar energy. It has also seen a response from the Soviet Union in the form of sizable military aid packages to Cambodia and Vietnam, with Vietnam even receiving two S-400 batteries. Out of the regional nations, the Empire of Japan is the one with the greatest political will to resist the Chinese to uphold what is left of its once-great empire. In this, it seems to have made an unlikely ally in the USSR, trade between the two has increased steadily and three top visits between the nation's leader have occurred over the last decade all while Japan continues militarizing itself and its two satellite-states. Soviet-Japanese increasing friendship has further forced China to distance itself from the Soviet Union and Japan. China has repeatedly called for the independence of the Korean peninsula in the League Of nations as one of its permanent members. These fears have pushed China to be ever more assertive in the South China Sea, militarize islands and greatly expand its air and naval capabilities. China has also in recent years helped Africa develop and grow and China has been the top investor on the continent with an estimated investment of $670 billion dollars it's also a strategy to limit and contain Soviet and European influence. China has also armed and invested in its regional allies such as Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Pakistan even though China and India have had cold relations in recent years China has made efforts to mend the relations in order to keep out the Soviet Union, the United States and European Powers.

Major shifts from OTL - Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War.

China became a full fledging democracy in the '90s.

China invaded Vietnam and was engaged in a brutal war resulting in Chinese defeat.

I have edited my app! And yeah those carriers are Type 003 and Type 004.

Okay here's round two.

A: A GDP per capita of 38000 is not believable. Economic growth doesn't happen that fast and if it does it comes with an inflation crisis that brings it right back down. Something around 20/25 000 tops is more reasonable. That's still about twice the size of the modern Chinese economy at the end of the day.

B: China has 71 Destroyers, while the RL PLAN only has 49. China has 69 compared to the RL PLAN has 41 with 3 fitting out. Now, this is all cool if you are keeping older early cold war models in service but not if you're going for a more advanced force, you'll need to downsize a bit. Somehow, a democratic country having a larger navy than its authoritarian equivalent seems odd. I can extend myself to accepting one Type 003, but the Type 004 isn't even under construction yet IRL. So that'll probably be one Type 001 and two Type 002's and a Type 003, it's cool if you want another 003 under construction but not finished.

C: See established lore, SCO and JDSA aren't that friendly

I have edited (once again) edited the app. But I want to tell you one thing according to resources Type 004 is under construction since 2017 So I see myself having Type 001, Type 002, and two Type 003s while Type 004 completes its construction.

Total Population - 1.6126 billion
Demographics -

The national census of 2020 recorded the population of the People's Republic of China as approximately 1.6126 billion. About 16.60% of the population were 14 years old or younger, 70.14% were between 15 and 59 years old, and 13.26% were over 60 years old. China used to make up much of the world's poor; now it makes up much of the world's middle class. An upper-income country by Western standards, China's rapid growth has pulled hundreds of millions—980 million, to be more precise—of its people out of poverty since 1978. By 2013, less than 2% of the Chinese population lived below the international poverty line of US$1.9 per day, down from 88% in 1981. From 2009 to 2018, the unemployment rate in China has averaged about 3%. As of December 2021, China's population stood at 1.413 billion. According to the 2020 census, 91.11% of the population was Han Chinese, and 8.89% were minorities. China's population growth rate is only 0.03%, ranking 159th in the world. China conducted its sixth national population census in 2010, and its seventh census was completed in late 2020, with data released in May 2021.

Given concerns about population growth, China implemented a two-child limit during the 1970s, and, in 1979, began to advocate for an even stricter limit of one child per family. Beginning in the mid-1980s, however, given the unpopularity of the strict limits, China began to allow some major exemptions, particularly in rural areas, resulting in what was a "1.5"-child policy from the mid-1980s to 2015 (ethnic minorities were also exempt from one child limits). The next major loosening of the policy was enacted in December 2013, allowing families to have two children if one parent is an only child. In 2016, the one-child policy was replaced in favour of a two-child policy. According to data from the 2020 census, China's total fertility rate is 1.3.

The policy, along with a traditional preference for boys, may have contributed to an imbalance in the sex ratio at birth. According to the 2010 census, the sex ratio at birth was 118.06 boys for every 100 girls, which is beyond the normal range of around 105 boys for every 100 girls. The 2010 census found that males accounted for 51.27 per cent of the total population. However, China's sex ratio is more balanced than it was in 1953 when males accounted for 51.82 per cent of the total population.

Military Branches - The Chinese Army is the principal military force of the Republic of China. The Chinese Army consists of five service branches: the Ground Force, Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, and Strategic Support Force. The president of the Republic is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and forms military policy with the Department of Defense (DoD) federal executive department, acting as the principal organ by which military policy is carried out.

Total military size - 2.2 million active personnel with 5.2 million in reserve.
Breakdown of Ground Sector - 975,000 active personnel.
The Chinese Army is the land-based service branch of the Chinese armed forces and the largest and oldest branch of the entire Chinese armed forces. The Chinese army can trace its lineage to the republican era.

The Chinese Army has a standing regular army and reserve force. Although conscription is employed in China by law, mandatory military service has not been implemented since 1949 as the Army has been able to recruit sufficient numbers voluntarily. Chinese militia is not a component of the Army, however, they could provide a certain degree of reserve function, which was indicated by the "Militia Military Training and Evaluation Outline" released by the Department Of Defence in 2007.

Army branches of service are composed of infantry (including mechanized infantry), tanker, artillery, aviation, military engineering, anti-chemical (nuclear, biological and chemical defence), signaller, special operation, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, etc. These branches of service have their respective military education institutions.

Chinese Army operational structure reflects China's strategic missions, political environment, and geographical circumstances. There are 13 corps sized group armies since the end of April 2017, divided among five Theater commands — Eastern, Southern, Northern, Western and Central. Within the group armies, the old divisions are being downsized into brigades. Each group army includes six manoeuvre combined arms brigades, fire support/artillery brigades, air defence brigades, aviation brigades, special operations brigades, combat support brigades, and sustainment brigades.

The manoeuvre combat components of the group armies are combined arms brigades including a mix of heavy combined arms brigades, medium combined arms brigades, light combined arms brigades, amphibious combined arms brigades, and mountain combined arms brigades. The practice is functionally similar to the US Army brigade combat team concept with unique modifications influenced by China's terrain diversity, strategic priority, political system, and military history.

The Chinese Army's heavy, medium, and light combined arms brigades share a similar modular construct, which resembles its superior and subordinate units at the group army and battalion level. A typical Army combined arms brigade has the brigade HQ, four manoeuvre combat battalions, and other support battalions. For instance, a heavy combined arms brigade includes four combined arms battalions, one artillery battalion, one air defence battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, one combat support battalion, and one sustainment battalion.

Combined arms battalions apply a structure drawn from the brigade echelon. For example, heavy combined arms battalions consist of battalions HQ company (including a subordinate medic, reconnaissance, and air defence platoons), four manoeuvre combat companies including two tank companies (14 tanks per company), and two mechanized infantry companies (14 vehicles per company), one firepower company, and one combat support/sustainment company.

Special operations forces:

The Department Of Defence first became interested in modern special warfare in the mid-1980s. The Department Of Defence (DOD) believed that the next war would be a short, fast-paced conflict on the periphery rather than a total war on Chinese territories, and conventional infantry-orientated ground forces in their mass numbers could no longer meet the requirements. It specialises in rapid reaction combat in a limited regional war under high-tech conditions, commando operations, counter-terrorism, and intelligence gathering. The size of the Special Operations Forces is estimated at 7,000 ~ 14,000 troops.

Heavy equipment

The CRA (Chinese Republican Army) is heavily mechanized with armoured platforms, advanced electronic warfare capability, concentrated firepower, and modern weapon systems that are competitive against Western counterparts. The CRA ground force is divided into highly mechanized heavy, medium, and light combined arms units. Heavy combined arms brigades are armoured with main battle tanks and tracked infantry fighting vehicles, medium combined arms brigades are armed with tracked or wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and light combined arms brigades are mobilized with armoured personal carriers, MRAP trucks, or armoured cars.

At the combined corps level, the CRA employs combined arms brigades, heavy artillery systems, medium-range air defence systems, special forces, army aviation units, and various engineering, and electronic warfare support systems. Weapon systems at this level include PLZ-05 howitzer, PCL-181 howitzer, PHL-03/16 multiple rocket launcher, AFT-10 missile carrier, and HQ-16 air defence system. Air assets within the aviation brigade include Z-10 attack helicopter, Z-19 recon helicopter, Z-20 utility helicopter, etc. Unmanned aerial systems are employed extensively in PLA formations of all types.

At the combined arms brigade level, brigade HQ can deploy various combined arms battalions composited with tanks, assault guns, and infantry fight vehicles (IFV) such as the ZTZ-99A tank, the ZBD-04A IFV, the ZBL-08 IFV, the ZTL-11 assault gun, and the CSK-181 MRAP fast-attack vehicle. Fire support, reconnaissance and air defence battalion are equipped with self-propelled artilleries, rocket launchers, missile carriers, unmanned aerial vehicles, and air defence systems such as PLZ-07, PLL-09, PCL-161/171, PHL-11, PHZ-11, PGZ-09/95, AFT-9/10, PGL-AA and HQ-17/A.

At battalion level, battalion HQ can direct tank company, assault gun company, a mechanized infantry company, and firepower company to provide rapid close-combat manoeuvre, with equipment including the PCP001 rapid-firing mortar, PLL-05/PLZ-10 self-propelled gun-mortar, AFT-8 missile carrier, MANPADS, and crew-served weapon systems such as QJG-85 heavy machine gun, PP-87 mortar, QLZ-04 automatic grenade launcher, and HJ-8E wire-guided missile.

Under each mechanized infantry company are standard infantry platoons and a firepower platoon, which is equipped with lightweight mortar, anti-material rifle, 35 mm automatic grenade launcher, rocket launcher, and heavy machine gun. At company and platoon level, a mechanized infantry squad consists of nine infantrymen, in whose seven members are dismounted during combat. Infantry squads vary in composition based on the type of combined arms battalions. Medium and light infantry squads equip reusable rocket launchers to improve anti-armour and anti-fortification capability, whereas heavy infantry squads have no squad-level rockets, instead of relying upon fire support from the firepower platoon, or their own ZBD-04A infantry fighting vehicle.

Individual and crew-served weapons

The standard issue rifle of PLA infantrymen is QBZ-95/191 chambered in proprietary 5.8×42mm, and the sidearm is QSZ-92 chambered in 5.8×21mm DAP92. The vehicle crew is equipped with QBZ-95B short-barreled carbine. The QCW-05 is a 5.8 mm submachine gun used by special forces and non-combat personnel. Sharpshooting is provided by the QBU-88/191 marksman rifle and QBU-141/202 sniper rifle. Indirect fire is provided by the QLG-10 grenade launcher. The QBS-09 combat shotgun is issued for door breaching and close-quarters battle. The QJB-95 serves as the squad's automatic weapon with its 75-round drum magazine.

PF-89, PF-97, and DZJ-08 disposable rocket launchers could be distributed on an ad hoc basis to infantry squads for direct-fire applications. Specialized fire support weapons, often equipped with dedicated rocketeers, or members of the firepower platoons, include the HJ-12 anti-tank guided missile, PF-98 rocket launcher, the QLZ-87 and QLZ-04 35 mm automatic grenade launcher, the QBU-10 anti-material rifle, QLU-11 sniper grenade launcher, QJG-02 anti-air machine gun, QJZ-89 heavy machine gun, and the PP-89 60 mm mortar. The larger calibre PP-87 82 mm mortar is fielded at the battalion level's firepower company.

Infantry equipment and uniforms

In 2014, the cost to equip a single Chinese soldier was about 9,400 yuan (US$1,523). The standard kit includes Type 07 camouflage uniforms, helmets, tactical vest, gas mask, backpack, first-aid kit, infantry weapons, woven belt, rain cap, camouflaged uniform, kettle, and combat boots. However, regular infantrymen rarely use the issued body armour stored in the armoury. Before 2015, only special operation detachments and soldiers in the active mission were equipped with body armour.

The infantry equipment such as heavy body armour, personal radio, and knee pads has been seen in the standard kit in 2015 when CRA was deployed into high-risk areas, as observed for units participating in UN Peacekeeping and counter-piracy operations. The CRA has started to procure body armour for soldiers on large scale since March 2020, with 3.4 million body armour on order, which includes 930,000 units of plates for universal bulletproof vests and 467,000 units of plates for an enhanced bulletproof vest.

The Type 19 uniform with new king kong digital camouflage patterns, tactical vest, backpack, protective gear, and eyewear started to replace the Type 07 uniform series in 2019. Along with the uniform, a new communication system, personal computer, tactical interface, and assault rifle family QBZ-191, new variants of pistol family QSZ-92 along with whole new kinds of weapon systems are also being adopted by the PLAGF since 2019. These new upgrades are components of the new Integrated Soldier Combat System, a program aiming to overhaul the CRA's infantry equipment.

Breakdown of Naval Sector - Chinese Navy is the maritime service branch of the Chinese Armed Forces. The Chinese Navy traces its lineage to naval units fighting during the Sino-Japanese War and was established on 23 April 1940. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, the Soviet Union assisted the CN in the form of naval advisers and the export of equipment and technology.

Until the late 1980s, the CN was largely a riverine and littoral force (brown-water navy). In the 1990s, with a shift toward a more Forward-oriented foreign and security policy, the leaders of the Chinese military were freed from worrying about overland border disputes. Having traditionally been subordinated to the Chinese Ground Force, Department Of Navy leaders were able to advocate for a renewed attention towards the seas.

Over time CN has turned into regional blue water and offensive navy. As the CN continue to expand regular exercises and naval patrols into the South China Sea have increased, particularly near the Senkaku Islands and the island of Taiwan.

Chinese Navy is composed of five branches; the Submarine Force, the Surface Force, the Coastal Defense Force, the Marine Corps and the Naval Air Force. With a personnel strength of 250,000 personnel, including 15,000 marines and 26,000 naval air force personnel, it is the second-largest navy in the world in terms of tonnage which stands at 2,820,222 tonnes, only behind the United States Navy, and has the largest number of major surface combatants of any navy globally with an overall battle force of approximately 360 surface ships and submarines — in comparison, the United States Navy's battle force is approximately 293 ships.

Chinese Navy is organized into several departments for purposes of command, control and coordination. Main operating forces are organized into fleets, each with its headquarters, and a commander (a Rear Admiral or Vice Admiral). All CN headquarters are subordinate to the Department Of Defence and Department Of Navy.

Fleets:

Chinese Navy Navy is divided into three fleets:

The North Sea Fleet, based in the Yellow Sea and headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Province.

The East Sea Fleet, based in the East China Sea and headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.

The South Sea Fleet, based in the South China Sea and headquartered in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province.
Each fleet consists of surface forces (destroyers, frigates, amphibious vessels etc.), submarine forces, coastal defence units, and aircraft.

Branches:

Chinese Navy Surface Force:

The Chinese Navy Surface Force consists of all surface warships in service with the CN. They are organised into flotillas spread across the three main fleets.

Chinese Navy Submarine Force

Chinese Navy Submarine Force consists of all nuclear and diesel-electric submarines in service with the CN. They are organised into flotillas spread across the three main fleets.

Chinese Navy Coastal Defence Force:

Chinese Navy Coastal Defence Force is a land-based branch of the CN in charge of coastal defence, with a strength of around 35,000 personnel. Also known as the coastal defence troops, they serve to defend China's coastal and littoral areas from invasion via amphibious landings or air attacks.

Between the 1950s and 1960s, the Coastal Defense Force was primarily assigned to repel any Japanese attempts to infiltrate, invade and harass the Chinese coastline. After the Sino-Soviet split and the abandonment of Japanese plans to recapture the Mainland, the Coastal Defense Force was focused on defending China's coast from a possible Soviet sea-borne invasion throughout the 1960s to 1980s.

With the renewal in the power of the Soviet Union, the threat of an amphibious invasion of China has remained and therefore the branch is often considered to be a vital component of the CN, but its importance has declined especially as the surface warships of the CN continue to improve in terms of anti-ship and air-defence capabilities and the CN's power projection begins to extend beyond the first island chain.

Today the primary weapons of the coastal defence troops are the HY-2, YJ-82 and C-602 anti-ship missiles.

Chinese Navy-Marine Corps:

Marine Corps was originally established in the 1950s and then re-established in 1979 under the CN organisation. It consists of around 30,000 marines and is based in the South China Sea with the South Sea Fleet. The Marine Corps are considered elite troops and are rapid deployment forces trained primarily in amphibious warfare and sometimes as paratroopers to establish a beachhead or act as a spearhead during assault operations against enemy targets.

The marines are equipped with the standard Type 95 assault rifles as well as other small arms and personnel equipment, and a blue/littoral camouflage uniform as standard. The marines are also equipped with amphibious armoured fighting vehicles (including amphibious light tanks such as the Type 63, assault vehicles such as the ZTD-05 and IFVs such as ZBD-05), helicopters, naval artillery, anti-aircraft weapon systems and short-range surface-to-air missiles.

With the CN's accelerating efforts to expand its capabilities beyond territorial waters, it would be likely for the Marine Corps to play a greater role in terms of being an offshore expeditionary force similar to the USMC and Royal Marines.

Chinese Navy Naval Airforce:

Chinese Navy Naval Airforce (CNNAF)is the naval aviation branch of the CN and has a strength of around 25,000 personnel and 2,000 aircraft. It operates similar hardware to the Chinese Air Force, including fighter aircraft, bombers, attack aircraft, tankers, reconnaissance/early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft, transport aircraft and helicopters of various roles.

The Naval Air Force has traditionally operated from coastal air bases and received older aircraft than the PLAAF with less ambitious steps toward mass modernization. Advancements in new technologies, weaponry and aircraft acquisition were made after 2000. Since the introduction of China's first aircraft carrier, Liaoning, in 2012, the Naval Air Force has been conducting carrier-based operations with carrier battle group-focused blue water capabilities.

CNNAF naval air bases include:

North Sea Fleet: Dalian, Qingdao, Jinxi, Jiyuan, Laiyang, Jiaoxian, Xingtai, Laishan, Anyang, Changzhi, Liangxiang and Shan Hai Guan

East Sea Fleet: Danyang, Daishan, Shanghai (Dachang), Ningbo, Luqiao, Feidong and Shitangqiao

South Sea Fleet: Foluo, Haikou, Lingshui, Sanya, Guiping, Jialaishi and Lingling

Breakdown of Airforce Sector - Chinese Airforce is an aerial service branch of the Chinese Armed Forces. The ROCAF was founded in 1920 by the Kuomintang; it was later placed under civilian control in 1947 and it is composed of 5 branches which are aviation, anti-aircraft artillery, surface-to-air missiles (SAM), radar, and Airborne Corps.

The Republic Of China Air Force operates a large and varied fleet of some 5,010+ aircraft, of which around 2,100 are combat aircraft (fighter, attack and bombers). According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, PLAAF combat pilots acquire an average of 100-150 flying hours per year.

History - Since China is such an old civilisation and country I'll explain the history since the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

In the mid-19th century, the Qing dynasty experienced Western imperialism in the Opium Wars with Britain and France. China was forced to pay compensation, open treaty ports, allow extraterritoriality for foreign nationals, and cede Hong Kong to the British under the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, the first of the Unequal Treaties. The First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) resulted in Qing China's loss of influence in the Korean Peninsula, as well as the cession of Taiwan to Japan. The Qing dynasty also began experiencing internal unrest in which tens of millions of people died, especially in the White Lotus Rebellion, the failed Taiping Rebellion that ravaged southern China in the 1850s and 1860s and the Dungan Revolt (1862–1877) in the northwest. The initial success of the Self-Strengthening Movement of the 1860s was frustrated by a series of military defeats in the 1880s and 1890s.

In the 19th century, the great Chinese diaspora began. Losses due to emigration were added to by conflicts and catastrophes such as the Northern Chinese Famine of 1876–1879, in which between 9 and 13 million people died. The Guangxu Emperor drafted a reform plan in 1898 to establish a modern constitutional monarchy, but these plans were thwarted by Empress Dowager Cixi. The ill-fated anti-foreign Boxer Rebellion of 1899–1901 further weakened the dynasty. Although Cixi sponsored a program of reforms, the Xinhai Revolution of 1911–1912 brought an end to the Qing dynasty and established the Republic of China. Puyi, the last Emperor of China, abdicated in 1912.

On 1 January 1912, the Republic of China was established, and Sun Yat-sen of the Kuomintang (the KMT or Nationalist Party) was proclaimed provisional president. On 12 February 1912, regent Empress Dowager Longyu sealed the imperial abdication decree on behalf of 4-year-old Puyi, the last emperor of China, ending 5,000 years of monarchy in China. In March 1912, the presidency was given to Yuan Shikai, a former Qing general who in 1915 proclaimed himself Emperor of China. In the face of popular condemnation and opposition from his own Beiyang Army, he was forced to abdicate and re-establish the republic in 1916.

After Yuan Shikai died in 1916, China was politically fragmented. Its Beijing-based government was internationally recognized but virtually powerless; regional warlords controlled most of its territory. In the late 1920s, the Kuomintang under Chiang Kai-shek, the then Principal of the Republic of China Military Academy, was able to reunify the country under its control with a series of deft military and political manoeuvrings, known collectively as the Northern Expedition. The Kuomintang moved the nation's capital to Nanjing and implemented "political tutelage", an intermediate stage of political development outlined in Sun Yat-sen's San-min program for transforming China into a modern democratic state. The political division in China made it difficult for Chiang to battle the communist-led People's Liberation Army (PLA), against whom the Kuomintang had been warring since 1927 in the Chinese Civil War. This war continued successfully for the Kuomintang, especially after the PLA retreated in the Long March until Japanese aggression and the 1936 Xi'an Incident forced Chiang to confront Imperial Japan.

The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), a theatre of World War II, forced an uneasy alliance between the Kuomintang and the Communists. Japanese forces committed numerous war atrocities against the civilian population; in all, as many as 20 million Chinese civilians died. An estimated 40,000 to 300,000 Chinese were massacred in the city of Nanjing alone during the Japanese occupation. During the war, China, along with the United Kingdom Of Anglois, the United States, and the German Empire was referred to as "trusteeship of the powerful" and was recognized as the Allied Big Four in Declaration By The United Nations. Throughout 1942 and 1943 the Chinese managed to slowly retake ground inch by bloody inch thanks to Columbian material support and training as well as a large number of Columbian volunteer pilots managing to help the previously weak and struggling Chinese air force to gain air parity with the Japanese while in the Pacific, Columbian forces began inching closer to Japan in bloody landing after bloody landing. The great naval battles of the Pacific War proved the Age of the Battleship to be over. With ever more crucial Japanese sea lanes being cut with every month, Japan's defeat seemed only a matter of time and indeed, by late 1944, Columbian troops were landing on Kyushu, but with casualties that horrified the Columbian public at home. Forcing the Columbian President Roosevelt to enter into negotiations with the Japanese, to the great protests of China and Chiang Kai-Shek. On the 21'st of November 1944, the Peace of Canberra ended the Pacific War, Japan lost nearly all of its gains in China but retained Taiwan and the Kinmen Isles, as well as retaining control of Korea. Chiang Kai-Shek, deeply depressed over the "Columbian Betrayal '' and his perceived failure to liberate all of China from the Japanese, retreated from politics, leading to the rise of Wang Jingwei and Mao Zedong. China among the other great powers is considered one of the Victors Of The War. But the betrayal from UASC will shape China in the coming decades.

The CCP had declared several areas of the country as the Chinese Soviet Republic (Jiangxi Soviet), in November 1931 in Ruijin, Jiangxi. The Jiangxi Soviet was wiped out by the KMT armies in 1934 and was relocated to Yan'an in Shaanxi where the Long March concluded in 1935. It was the base of the communists before major combat in the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949. Afterwards, the Chian Kai Shek and Nationalist forces fought Communists everywhere from streets to hills with support from other anti-communist nations. They gained control of mainland China, and the CCP was eradicated with some of its surviving members retreating to Vietnam, Mongolia and Cambodia. In 1950, the Chinese Army captured Hainan and incorporated Tibet. However, the remaining Communist forces continued to wage an insurgency in western China throughout the 1950s. With the death of Chiang Kai-Shek in 1953, most expected Wang Jingwei to replace him as the leader of China, what happened instead was a coup orchestrated by the KMT-Right led by Dai Li who used his control over the Chinese security apparatus to purge the KMT of its leftist elements and secure his control over the party and the country as a whole. This coupled with the Trial of the 55 where Wang, Mao and other leading members of the KMT-Left were charged with crimes such as treason and collaboration with the Japanese occupiers during the Pacific War and sentenced to death. Where many had expected China to lurch toward socialism and closer ties with the Comintern under Wang, it instead turned hard to the right under Li who proceeded to rapidly industrialize China with a series of brutal economic plans which while it did give the country a strong industrial base and the solid military-industrial complex, it came at the cost of significant human suffering.

China developed an independent industrial system and its nuclear weapons. The Chinese population increased from 550 million in 1950 to 900 million in 1974.

Elder Deng Xiaoping a prominent member of Kuomintang power in 1978, instituted significant economic reforms. This marked China's transition to a mixed economy with an increasingly open-market environment. China adopted its current constitution on 4 December 1982. The adoption of the constitution marked a significant point in Chinese history. The constitution transitioned China into a democracy. Under the constitution, China became a Federal Unitary semi-presidential Constitutional Republic with an elected parliament. Restrictions on religious freedom, political freedom, and speech freedom were removed.

Jian Zenin, li Peng, and Zhu Rongji led the new democracy in the 1990s. Under their administration, China's economic performance pulled an estimated 150 million peasants out of poverty and sustained an average annual gross domestic product growth rate of 11.2%. British Hong Kong and Spanish Macau returned to China in 1997 and 1999, respectively, as the Hong Kong and Macau special administrative regions under the principle of One country, two systems. The country joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 and maintained its high rate of economic growth under Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao's leadership in the 2000s.

Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party has led the nation since the 2015 elections as the President Of the Republic and has pursued large-scale efforts to reform China's economy and has also reformed the one-child policy and penal system, as well as instituting a vast anti-corruption crackdown. In 2013, China initiated the Belt and Road Initiative, a global infrastructure investment project.

In recent years, China has been worried about facing three different rivals on multiple fronts. UASC, USSR and Empire Of Japan and their influence in the region have created tensions on the Asian continent and especially in Indo-Pacific. China is currently locked in a Cold War on three different fronts USSR on the Mongolian border and its influence in Cambodia and Vietnam. Japan to the east with its puppet in the form of Korea. Sino-Japanese relations have always been worse but in recent years they have deteriorated rapidly the most contentious issue is the independence of the Korean Peninsula. And finally the United States. China and the Chinese people never forgot how the United States betrayed the Chinese people in their darkest time during the Sino-Japanese War and how the United States handed Taiwan and other territories to the Japanese on a silver plate. US-China rivalry can be seen everywhere in the world. The US is trying to contain the rise of China which has emerged as a new Global Superpower. Even though both countries are the largest trading partners their relationship has become cold and icy.

This is on top of the existing tensions between China and the Comintern, as China has long sought to annex Mongolia while ripping Vietnam and Cambodia out of the Soviet alliance. The only thing that is stopping China from doing so is the Chinese dependency on Soviet Oil but in recent years China inspired by Anglois has rapidly accelerated towards clean energy methods and is building new nuclear power plants all over the country followed by hydroelectric and solar energy. It has also seen a response from the Soviet Union in the form of sizable military aid packages to Cambodia and Vietnam, with Vietnam even receiving two S-400 batteries. Out of the regional nations, the Empire of Japan is the one with the greatest political will to resist the Chinese to uphold what is left of its once-great empire. In this, it seems to have made an unlikely ally in the USSR, trade between the two has increased steadily and three top visits between the nation's leader have occurred over the last decade all while Japan continues militarizing itself and its two satellite-states. Soviet-Japanese increasing friendship has further forced China to distance itself from the Soviet Union and Japan. China has repeatedly called for the independence of the Korean peninsula in the League Of nations as one of its permanent members. These fears have pushed China to be ever more assertive in the South China Sea, militarize islands and greatly expand its air and naval capabilities. China has also in recent years helped Africa develop and grow and China has been the top investor on the continent with an estimated investment of $670 billion dollars it's also a strategy to limit and contain Soviet and European influence. China has also armed and invested in its regional allies such as Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Pakistan even though China and India have had cold relations in recent years China has made efforts to mend the relations in order to keep out the Soviet Union, the United States and European Powers.

Major shifts from OTL - Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War.

China became a full fledging democracy in the '90s.

China invaded Vietnam and was engaged in a brutal war resulting in Chinese defeat.

You know that the current President of the UASC is probably pro-Chinese (but only for the purpose of antagonizing Japan). You can see my history section by clicking on a link that is on my application.

Now that's a piece of really good news. UASC and China can achieve lotta things together probably but I don't think that'll happen because US administrations change their stance dramatically. But Thomas Featherston is a guy China can work with and deepen relations with. After all, stopping Soviet Communism and Japanese Imperialism is what unites us.

Australasia is also open to working with you, especially since you’re “democratic”, against the Japanese and Soviet threat. Just basically leave Australasia it’s sphere and we’re mostly good.

Reeeal good stuff

Looks great Chewion, just replace the B1's with Poseidons or something and you're golden.

Snip

Nice and solid foundation, if you want you can up your economy a bit.

I have edited (once again) edited the app. But I want to tell you one thing according to resources Type 004 is under construction since 2017 So I see myself having Type 001, Type 002, and two Type 003s while Type 004 completes its construction.

All right looks much better. You missed one small thing though GDP (nominal) - $157.82 trillion dollars, just a typo I'm sure so just adjust that based on the GDP per Capita - $25,365 and you'll be fine.

I'd like to reserve Indonesia, please

(also why is Batam island part of England?)

Okay I'll mark it down for ya.

Because it's part of Anglois Malaya.

The B-1s are there to not just provide naval capabilities. It also provides traditional bomber capabilities but it’s just predominantly used for naval reasons because… well we’re basically surrounded by water. But I can change them still if you’d like.

Perhaps, that's where China and the Philippines can work together. As we too have big grudges against Japanese.

Due to more than 4 days passing since the applicants showed any activity and no WIP apps being posted.

Korea and Japan are once more open to reservation.

So, the month doesn't change until you post a GA news/event thing? Or is this time in general?

Yes and no. If we have lots of meetings and conferences going on, time will progress more slow, like a month in the news post.

If it's slower going with people doing internal reforms it can jump three or four months as people wait for their policies to take effect.
