Talk:A World of War: World Revived/@comment-26031225-20160702013400

People's Republic of China
 * Goverment: The goverment remains the same, with the PRC being a police state where one party rules supreme and where freedom of speech is restricted. With the increase of tensions with the West, the censorship in the Internet with the "Great Firewall of China" becomes more noticeable, as lots of websites are blocked and replaced with the ones approved by the Chinese goverment. Despite this, the goverment has recently implemented a policy of giving some autonomy to the regions of Xinjiang and Tibet, as a way of preventing revolts in said areas. The one-child policy has also been replaced with a two-child policy, although many leaders of the Communist Party oppose this move, and the two-child policy might be reconsidered soon. Meanwhile, Xi Jinping decides to focus on investing in military and technology in response to the increasing threat of World War III.
 * Military: Since conscription is technically compulsory but not enforced, the goverment decided to start to enforce it now. Every Chinese must serve at least 1 year in the PLA at the age of 18. They just recieve basic training and they're partially prepared to defend their homeland (those are not counted in military statisticts).
 * People's Liberation Army: As 200,000 troops are recruited this year, the total number of the PLA rises to 4.5 million, with 2.5 million being active troops and 2 million being reserves. With the increase of imperialism around the world, recruiting is going to be done within the next few years, but not massive recuitment like Germany, since the PLA must have a certain degree of quality.
 * PLA Ground Forces: With China planning to create a vast empire, the ground forces become the second priority, and more tanks and AFVs are built. The PRC begins a project for replacing the older tank models with newer ones, mostly producing Type 96 and Type 99 tanks (Type 99 is not massively produced because of its high cost, although it is considered one of the best tanks in the world). By the end of the year, the PRC had 9,153 tanks, 4,792 AFVs (Armored Fighting Vehicles), 1,792 SPGs (Self-Propelled Guns), 6,290 towed artillery and ~1,800 MLRSs.
 * PLA Navy: Out from the three main military branches, the PLA Navy recieves the most funding since Xi Jinping thinks that the PRC needs to have the strongest and most modernized navy in the region in order to be able to defeat Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines once WW3 begins. The Chinese Aircraft Carrier program goes on as the second chinese aircraft carrier Xialoin has been nearly completed and equiped with the latest naval technology. Xialoin will be finished by 2017, and the construction of a third aircraft carrier is expected to finish by 2018 or 2019. Currently, the PLAN consists of 1 aircraft carrier, 50 frigates, 43 destroyers, 26 corvettes, 69 submarines, and 138 coastal defense craft. The PLAN has an estimated of 255,000 personeel. Patroling ships are also sent all over the Chinese territorial waters.
 * PLA Air Force: Since the PRC is mostly focusing on the Navy and the Ground Forces, the PLAAF isn't recieving too much funding, but aircraft is regularly produced each year. Currently, the PRC has 1,230 fighters/interceptors, 1,385 fixed-wing attack aircraft, 790 transport aircraft and around 1,000 helicopters, from which around 200 are attack helicopters. Overall, the total aircraft power of the PRC is estimated to be 2,942, counting with ~400,000 personeel.
 * Wars & Conflicts: Although China originally planned to intervene in the Afghan Civil War, after some secret agreements were made with the Taliban group, the operation was cancelled. Instead, China decided to invade Bhutan with the forces that were going to be used to intervene in Afghanistan.
 * Bhutan War: The chinese quickly prepare Operation Mountain, which is the invasion and conquest of Buthan. Although the movement will probably be seen as imperialist and enrage the Indian goverment (and make them join NATO), the PRC considers that gaining ground in the region is worth the risks. After planning out the whole operation for some weeks, the operation finally begins on March 29th as 75,000 troops in board of trucks and other armored vehicles cross the border into Bhutan along with 2 batallions of Type 96 tanks, taking the town of Trashi Yangtse in the northern part of the country. The town was captured with little to no opposition and civilian casualties were mostly avoided. However, the troops stay in the town for a couple days, expecting RAB (Royal Army of Bhutan) reinforcements to arrive. By April 1st, most of the RAB and Bhutanese militia arrived to the town in order to retake control of it. However, the chinese troops attacked them from the outsides of the city before they could even enter, effectively making an ambush. Meanwhile, the PLA Air Force makes a surprise entrance into the city of Thimpu, dropping at least 50,000 paratroopers. The PLAAF did not conduct any airstrikes or bombings in order to keep casualties low, and Bhutan doesn't has an air force so there wasn't fighting in the sky. The paratroopers quickly seize control over Bhutan's capital, defeating the remaining RAB forces and Militias. With the capitulation of Timphu, the King is forced to sign an unconditional surrender; the People's Republic of Bhutan is proclaimed the next day and the King is forced to leave the charge, although he is still allowed to live a good life in Bhutan along with his family but he will not be allowed to get power. The total number of casualties was 6,300, from which 4,300 are Bhutan militia or RAB Forces, 600 are chinese troops, and the rest are civilians. Bhutan is now a chinese puppet state.
 * War against the Islamic State: Although China initially agreed on trying to negotiate with ISIS, they eventually changed their mind and Xi Jiping stated that the PRC "will not negotiate with terrorists" and disapproved german actions in the Middle East. The PRC was also outraged by the fact that the USA sent ~100,000 troops to support the Syrian Opposition and in response 175,000 Chinese troops are sent to support Assad's regime in Syria and to counter German-ISIS alliance in the area. However, the Chinese goverment recognizes that the USA is not an enemy and that the troops were sent to fight ISIS, although this can not be guaranteed since fights between the Syrian goverment and the Opposition still occur. Airstrikes are also conducted against IS positions in Syria and Iraq. The PRC is also practically alone against ISIS in Syria besides of the USA since Iran and Russia have recently withdrew or reduced their presence. Back in the mainland, special security measures are done for the region of Xinjiang, which is populated by muslims. This is done to prevent possible terrorist attacks in response to PRC's involvement in Syria against the Islamic State.
 * Operation Yat-sen: Military plans for an invasion of Taiwan begin, and the PLA is prepared for the invasion next year. The operation is kept completely secret and it is named "Operation Yat-sen".
 * Mongolian Coup: The PRC triggers a coup d'Etat on the nation of Mongolia. The objective is to overthrow the current goverment and establish a Chinese puppet state called "Mongolian People's Republic". Since Mongolia is quite weak military and economically speaking, the coup d'Etat is expected to be succesfull, although the PRC still prepares a military operation for next year in case the coup fails.
 * Technology: As stated before, the PRC is currently focusing on developing new military technologies, examples of this are the gradual modernization of the ground forces and the aircraft carrier programs. Aditionally, it is worth mentioning that some Chinese scientists have come up with the concept of a sustainable railgun, which they've simply called "Railgun I". The goverment decides to fund this project, however since they only have the concept, railguns won't be available for military use until 2020s.
 * Space Program: The goverment increases the budget of the CNSA (China National Space Administration) to speed up the plans on sending a manned mission to The Moon. The Chang'e 5 mission, which was expected to finish until 2017, is able to do so this year thanks to the increased funding. A lunar lander is sent in late 2016 and it lands on the Moon in December 15, 2016. The objective is to obtain samples and to explore the lunar surface. It is expect that China will be able to send a manned mission by 2020.
 * Economy: Still the world's largest economy although a bit slowled down because of the recent spendings (rushing this section
 * Diplomacy:
 * Syria: Extensive support is given to Assad's goverment in response to the increase of American presence in the region.
 * North Korea: Economic support is sent to North Korea, hoping to help them improve their economy and establish closer ties. 5000 troops are also sent as relationships with South Korea become more tense. The PRC guarantees the independence of North Korea.
 * Vietnam: Viewing Vietnam as potential ally in the region, the PRC finally gives up its claim over Spratly Islands, recognizing Vietnamese sovereignity over the islands. Relations are slolwly being improved, hoping to gain Vietnam as an ally in the future. A free trade agreement request is sent.
 * Nepal: The PRC tries to improve relations with Nepal, since the conquest of Bhutan would probably make them want to align with India. Xi Jinping proposes a non-aggresion pact and open borders, stating that the PRC will not attack Nepal and that they wish to keep friendly relations. Xi Jinping also gives "an small loan of a million dollars" to the Nepalese president, as asign of "friendship" between the two heads of state. The Communist Party of Nepal is also supported, mostly through "anonymous donations" coming from the PRC, the objective is to make them triumph in the next elections once again, hoping that they will align with the Tehran Pact if the Communist Party rules the country. Nepal's independence is also guaranteed by China. The PRC's guarantees the independence of Nepal.
 * Australia: An alliance and free trade agreement are signed.
 * Japan: A non-aggresion pact and a FTA are proposed.
 * Malaysia: The PRC warns them to not attack Singapore.
 * Russia: A free trade agreement is signed and they agree on making a joint space program.
 * USA: A FTA is requested.
 * India: A FTA is requested.
