History
History (pre coalition): China has started of really instable, and immediately became involved in a war between indonesia (deceased) and ANZAC (deceased) at the start of the sim. After peaceing out from this war, tensions between China and ANZAC started to rise quickly, and eventually led to a series of secret moves done against eachother by both countries. After ANZAC tried to blow up a part of China its industrial area, China declared war. A multi year war happened, with India (Patrick), Thailand (lex) and French indochina (pasta) and its motherstate (France, Miguel) joining in on Chinese side. USA (Ocker) and Japan (shpati) joined in on ANZAC side. Near the end of the war, when Anzac had been defeated, USSR (Robin) declared war on China and China was forced to surrender. This caused tensions between China and the comintern, as Poland (Ali) and the USSR (robin) had promised the comintern would not intervene in the defensive war China was fighting against Japan. China was forced to peace out on unfavourable terms, and lost Manchuria and western China. Western China became a new state, under the lead of Maäthe. After these events China was added to the anti comintern coalition, where it immediately became one of the lead members. China heavily supported Belgium in its war against the Netherlands, and also facilitated the Bolivian (Rasmus) invasion on Korea. A few years later, after having heard rumors of the Americans planning to betray China and its ASEAN allies, China together with its alliance decided to leave the comintern and join the coalition. China got a favourable deal and has received Manchuria back, along with compensation for the harm done. China is now comintern sided in the cold war, altough it strongly sympathizes with the Belgians (Luca) and Argentinians (Imre).

Politics:
China became a meritocracy after the third turn, still being one at the moment. An important part of China's foreign policy is to repel all non asian countries from the Pacific ocean and the continent of Oceania. China is currently liated to the comintern, altough it had been part of the american coalition first. China's focus goes mainly to strengthening its economy and gaining influence and economy for its alliance. China is actively trying to convert other countries into meritocracies too.
