People's Republic of China

The People's Republic of China is one of the Earth's foremost powers in the 22nd century. With the failure of China's 'peaceful rise' to provide the national prestige and expanded resource base deemed necessary by the Chinese Communist Party to ensure continued economic growth, the PRC has become perhaps the world's most bellicose power. The rise of JSP Topteen Entertainment in what China had once considered its own sphere of influence shook the Party at its core as gone were the days when China could feel secure in its might and protection from all enemies and even as Chinese industries hastened the coming of the doom of the world the inner party began to look for ways to maintain the state that had been built generations before. With the inundation of land where formerly 300 million had lived, the greatest challenge the Chinese Communist Party had ever faced came to be as vast areas where much of the Chinese population had once lived sunk under the sea. In the need for more land to maintain its population and with many of its neighbors too well defended to attack during this moment of crisis the Chinese government chose Mongolia as its target and an invasion to subjugate what had once been a part of the Qing Empire was conducted to add more space for the Han people and to showcase that even in its darkest hour China is still a force to be reckoned with. Furthermore with the American protection over Taiwan relinquished and the Republic of China collapsing as its coasts sunk to the bottom of the sea the PRC could easily annex the island and add another part of the "integral Chinese patrimony".

the Chinese invasion of Mongolia was condemned by the various nations of the world, yet dealing with their own problems and the collapse of the formerly dominant west, none were able to prevent it. The government's current ideological programme seems a strange amalgamation of Qing romanticism, Han ethnocentrism and Communist universalism, not internally consistent and not necessarily meant to be. Under the current leadership of Mao Xiaoping the republic had adopted more and more of the trappings of the Chinese Empires of old and had begun to present itself as the countinuation of an ancient line of imperial governments, showcasing them as examples of Han ingenuity and civilization, an unbroken nation greater, wiser and more powerful than any other in the world.

With the creation of The Mechanism, the Chinese have been one of the most active expansionists into the solar system, conflict on Earth no longer being a reasonable possibility for the gaining of further resources. Strident Chinese propaganda proclaims that many planets and moons should be considered part of Chinese territory as payment for historical grievances and the terrible death toll and loss of land suffered by the Chinese.
