What if the conflict with the Kuomintang-led, Cantonese-Hakka Chiang-Soong clan-governed Nationalist China occupying Cantonia from 1925-1949, and then Han China from 1925-1928 to 1938-1945, and then 1945-1949, and Manchuria from 1925-1928, to 1933-1945, and then finally from 1945-1949 and the forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ruling over the post- 7 November 1921 to pre-31 January 1949 to 1 October 1949 Chinese Soviet Republic in the Jinggang Mountains, the Central Soviet in Eastern Jiangxi on the border of Fujian, the Eyuwan Soviet, Xiangexi (West Hubei and Hunan), and Xianggan (Hunan-Jiangxi), in which armed conflict between the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime [backed jointly by the USSR and the USA] and the CCP-ruled Chinese Soviet Republic [backed by the British Empire] continued intermittently from 1 August 1927 until the victory of the CCP-ruled CSR resulted in their total control over mainland China on 7 December 1949, which started from 1 August 1927 – 26 December 1936 (first phase), and ended from 10 August 1945 – 7 December 1949, before being frozen in an eternal conflict after the remnants of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime, alongside many refugees, retreated to the island of Taiwan (Formosa) beginning on December 7, 1949, in an event which is sometimes called the Great Retreat (Chinese: 大撤退) in Taiwan, and the Nationalist Kuomintang party (KMT), officers of the KMT's military force and thus the Nationalist Chinese armed forces, the National Revolutionary Army, and approximately 2 million troops of the Nationalist Chinese NRA took part in the retreat, in addition to many civilians and refugees, fleeing the advance of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as the CCP, who now effectively controlled most of mainland China, spent the subsequent years purging any remnant Nationalist agents along with Soviet and American in western and southern China, solidifying the rule of the newly established People's Republic of China (PRC) over mainland China, and Nationalist Chinese troops mostly fled to Taiwan from provinces in southern China, in particular Sichuan Province, where the last stand of the National Revolutionary Army took place, and the [KMT's] flight to Taiwan took place over four months after Mao Zedong had proclaimed the founding of the PRC in Beijing on October 1, 1949, and the island of Taiwan remained part of Japan during the occupation [of Japan by the Allies] until Japan severed its [Japan's] territorial claims [over Taiwan and the Pengu Islands] in the Treaty of San Francisco, which came into effect in 1952, and in addition, some of the Nationalist Chinese NRA troops in Yunnan also fled to Burma, where the insurgency [by the KMT] lasted until 1961, and after the retreat, the leadership of the Nationalist Chinese regime, particularly the then Nationalist Chinese Generalissimo and later [Nationalist Chinese] President Chiang Kai-shek, planned to make the retreat [to Taiwan and the Pengu Islands] only temporary, hoping to regroup, fortify, and then reconquer the [Chinese] mainland [from the CCP-ruled PRC] with US and Soviet help, and this plan, which never came into fruition, was known as "Project National Glory" and constituted the national priority of the Nationalist Chinese government to Taiwan, the Chinese nationalists did not abandon the policy of using force for the reunification [of China under their rule] until direct exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait began in the 1990s, [the conflict between the CCP and the KMT] known as the Chinese Civil War, [the Chinese Civil War] ended [the Chinese Civil War] not with the KMT losing the Chinese Civil War to the CCP and [the KMT] subsequently fleeing to Taiwan with joint US-Soviet aid after [the KMT] losing the Chinese Civil War, [the KMT] was [the KMT] able [the KMT] to [the KMT] hold on to Cantonia, Southern Han China and Yunnan due to Chiang Kai-shek's main backer and [Chiang Kai-shek's] main sugar daddy, the then dictator of the USSR, Josef Stalin, [Stalin] afraid that he [Stalin] would lose his [Stalin's] puppet [Chiang Kai-shek] in China, [Stalin] using his [Stalin's] web of spies, traitors and communists in the US government, academia, mainstream media and even the US Army, along with the US-China lobby which was just a front for the KMT, [Stalin using his open spies in the US government, academia, mainstream media and even the US Army along with the US-China lobby] to have the USA spend even more than they did in OTL on defending the KMT and Nationalist China from the Chinese people, Stalin even had the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army out even more fighting for the KMT and even had the Soviet satellite state of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party-ruled Mongolian People's Republic in Outer Mongolia send out the post-March 1921, pre-February 1992 institution of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, constituting as the armed forces of the Mongolian People's Republic, which was established on 18 March 1921 as a secondary army under Soviet Red Army command during the 1920s and during World War II, Mongolian People's Army, also known as the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army or the Mongolian Red Army to defend the KMT, thankfully the CCP-ruled CSR was able to keep Northern China, although this kept China divided between the CCP-ruled PRC in the North of Han China and the KMT-ruled Nationalist China in Cantonia, Southern Han China and Yunnan, like the Soviet satellite state, Soviet puppet state and Soviet protectorate of the WPK-governed, Russo-Korean Kim dynasty-ruled DPRK in North Korea, and the ROK in South Korea, with the KMT-ruled Nationalist China in Cantonia, Southern Han China being equivalent to the WPK-governed, Kim dynasty-ruled DPRK in North Korea and the CCP-ruled PRC in Northern Han China being equivalent to the ROK in South Korea, the CCP-ruled PRC in the North of Han China and the KMT-ruled Nationalist China in Cantonia, Southern Han China and Yunnan, are both [the CCP-ruled PRC in the North of Han China and the KMT-ruled Nationalist China in Cantonia, Southern Han China and Yunnan] contained to fighting over the core Han provinces of Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Shanxi, Hebei, Liaoning, Hubei, Fujian, Gansu, Chongqing, and Qinghai,

Leading intellectuals were influenced by books that had survived from the final years of the Ming dynasty, the last dynasty of Han Chinese, and in 1904, Sun Yat-sen announced that his organization's goal was "to expel the Tatar barbarians, to revive Zhonghua, to establish a Republic, and to distribute land equally among the people.", and many underground groups promoted the ideas of "Resist Qing and restore Ming" (反清復明) that had been around since the days of the Taiping Rebellion, Sun Yat-sen and other members of the Government of the Republic of China visited the mausoleum of the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming dynasty, 15 February 1912, and during and after the Xinhai Revolution, some advocated that an ethnic Han be installed as Emperor of China, either a descendant of Confucius who held the noble title of the Duke of Yansheng, or a descendant of the Ming imperial family who possessed the title of the Marquis of Extended Grace, and the Han hereditary aristocratic nobility like the Duke of Yansheng were retained by the new Republic of China and the title holders continued to receive their pensions, and the rallying slogan of anti-Qing activists was "Fǎn Qīng fù Míng" (simplified Chinese: 反清复明; traditional Chinese: 反清復明; lit. "Oppose Qing and restore Ming"), related to the Boxer Rebellion slogan "Revive the Qing and destroy the foreigners", [during the era of the Beiyang Government which ruled from 1911-1912 to 1915 as the first Republic of China after the Xinhai Revolution, 1915-1916 as Yuan Shikai's Empire of China, and then 1916 to 1925-1928 as the first Republic of China again before |the Beiyang Government| being |the Beiyang Government| overthrown by the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime from 1925-1928 via the Northern Expedition], Beiyang Government respected the fact that Manchuria was seperate and independent from China after the Xinhai Revolution, as shown by during the late Qing Empire era, Manchuria was organized as the Viceroyalty of the Three Northeastern Provinces, consisting of Jilin, Fengtian, and Heilongjiang, and the capital was at Shenyang (then known as Mukden) in Fengtian, and when the Wuchang Uprising broke out, revolutionaries established networks in the Manchurian New Army, and unlike other provinces in the Qing Empire, the [Xinhai] revolution had much less support from the populace, and the then Governor [of Manchuria] Zhao Erxun and the local militia [of Manchuria] forged an alliance, collaborating with local elites and constitutionalists, and after Puyi abdicated the throne of the Qing Empire in 1912, Manchu nobles in the area [Manchuria] tried to establish an independent Manchu state, an attempt that failed, and Huang Xing, commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Government as the first Republic of China, was willing to [and planned to] cede Manchuria to Japan and [Xing] mentioned the concept of China proper when [Xing] asking for support from the [Japanese] empire [Previously, Manchuria had been the location of the Russo-Japanese War fought inside Qing territory, while the Three Northeastern Provinces hosted the politically tense Chinese Eastern Railway, a Russian concession, whose southern half had been ceded to Japan in 1905], and this geopolitical context influenced political and economic decisions in Manchuria, how the Xinhai Revolution against the Qing was about restoring the Ming to power in China and not creating a Cantonese-Hakka-Hoklo dominated Republic on the territory of the Ming, well in this timeline, Huang Xing ceding Manchuria to Japan and Manchu nobles' attempts to establish an independent Manchu state in Manchuria during and after the Xinhai Revolution both succeed, this is in part due to the ethnic Han Chinese bandit clan turned bannerman family, then warlord family after the Xinhai revolution known as the Zhang family-ruled Manchuria-based, post-1911, pre-1928 Han Chinese warlord faction/Beiyang Government faction, which took its name from Fengtian Province in Manchuria, which served as its original base of support, but however, the clique quickly came to control all of the Three Northeastern Provinces, and the clique received support from Japan in exchange for protecting Japanese military and economic interests in Manchuria known as the Fengtian Clique, [the Zhang family-ruled Fengtian Clique in Manchuria] being taken over by the Manchu Qing imperial court, the administrative and military divisions under the Later Jin and Qing Empires of mainland China created in the early 17th century by Nurhaci, and played an instrumental role in his unification of the fragmented Jurchen people (who would later be renamed the "Manchu" under Nurhaci's son Hong Taiji) and in the Qing Empire's conquest of the Ming dynasty, [the administrative and military divisions founded by Nurhaci] into which all Manchu households were placed, and in war, these divisions functioned as armies, but this system was also the basic organizational framework of all of Manchu society and its members were considered the elite forces of the Qing military, the Eight Banners Qing loyalists of the Great Qing Empire’s post-1985 modernised army corps envisioned as a regular and professional fully trained and equipped according to Western standards with a reserve, the New Army both Han and Manchu, the pre-6 November 1906, post-12 February 1912 preparatory body for the parliament of the Great Qing Empire, which was part of the New Policies in the late Qing dynasty, of which the Qing court was moving toward the implementation of a constitution, the Advisory Council, also known as the Government Advisory Council,[1] Political Advisory Council,[2] or Political Advisory Board, the Qing national government and the Aisin-Gioro-ruled Great Qing Empire's post-1644, pre-1912 military units made up mostly of ethnic Han soldiers which operated concurrently with the Manchu-Mongol-Han Eight Banner armies which was primarily used as a police force, more specifically as a primarily as a gendarmerie or constabulary, employed to maintain local law and order and quell small-scale disturbances and also contributed the bulk of forces dispatched in major campaigns, being extremely fragmented, with literally thousands of large and small outposts throughout the empire, many with as few as twelve men, along with being divided into garrisons of battalion size, reporting through regional brigade generals to Tídū [commanders-in-chief |Tídū|] in each province, the niowanggiyan turun i kūwaran [Green Standard Army | niowanggiyan turun i kūwaran|] with the aid of the post- December 1911 monarchist political party and militant organization active in China during the Beiyang Government era, which sought to restore the rule of the Aisin-Gioro-ruled Great Qing Empire over mainland China, by launching insurgencies and advocating the liberation of Manchuria and Inner Mongolia from the rest of China, whose official purpose was to preserve the Aisin-Gioro-ruled Great Qing Empire's ancestral shrine and other religious institutions,[11] though in truth it tried to protect the monarchy,[12] and later aimed to overthrow the Republic, supporting the creation of an independent Manchuria and Inner Mongolia as early as December 1911,[15][6] and separatism gained more followers among the royalists as time went on, as the royalists believed that Manchuria could offer them a secure base from where they could not only revive Imperial rule, but also protect themselves from counter-attacks by republicans from other parts of China, as initially, the local population of bannermen and Mongols was also sympathetic to their struggle, as nationalist concepts later gained more traction in said organization, as many Manchus and bannermen suffered under discrimination in the new Republic, which allowed the royalists to frame their struggle for an independent Manchuria as a chance at creating "a better place for the Manchus and banner people to live, as the royalists conservative and revisionist tendencies, as they continued to use the old dynastic calendar, and espoused traditional arts such as Classical Chinese poetry, and calligraphy, the Society for Monarchical Constitutionalism, unofficially known as the Royalist Party, fleeing from the revolutionaries of the Xinhai Revolution, the Japanese turned a blind eye to the Manchuria-born Han Chinese bandit who later became a Han Chinese bannerman in the Manchu military system turned warlord during the Xinhai Revoluton who ruled Manchuria from 1916 to 1928 and led the Fengtian clique, one of the most powerful factions during the Warlord Era., and in 1927, he became the leader of the Beiyang government and was declared Generalissimo of the Republic of China, Zhang Zuolin, [the Japanese turning a blind eye to Zhang Zuolin] being [Zhang Zuolin] overthrown by the Qing exiles fleeing the Xinhai Revolution, who [ the Qing exiles fleeing the Xinhai Revolution after they overthrow Zhang Zuolin after returned to Manchuria] promptly made the Fengtian Clique into a Qing rump state that was under the protection of Japan, Zhang Zuolin was overthrown so fast by the Qing exiles that nobody in the former Qing Empire had any idea what happened, the Qing court and Qing government continued their operations from Manchuria after the formation of the Qing rump state after the Xinhai Revolution in this timeline, Manchuria continues to fly the Great Qing Empire's post-1889, pre-dFebruary 12, 1912 combined national flag and ensign featuring the Azure Dragon on a plain yellow field with the red flaming pearl in the upper left corner, which became the first national flag of China and is usually referred to as the "Yellow Dragon Flag", use the Qing era of naming and design, and since the Qing military forces that followed the Qing imperial court, the Qing parliament and Qing national government into Manchuria were numerically stronger and larger than the Fengtian Clique's post-1911, pre-1937 Manchurian private army, which General Zhang Zuolin developed as an independent fighting force during the Warlord Era, and he used the army to control both Manchuria and Han China and also intervene in national politics in both Han China and Manchuria known as the Northeastern Army, better known as the Fengtian Army, any Zhang family loyalists in the Fengtian Clique's Northeastern Army/Fengtian Army were easily dealt with, after the Qing exiles fleeing the Xinhai Revolution overthrew Zhang Zuolin after they returned to Manchuria and then promptly made the Fengtian Clique into a Qing rump state that was under the protection of Japan, the Imperial House of Aisin-Giorno lived in the chateau-style home near Shenyang that would be built by Zhang Zuolin in 1920 in OTL.

Like the Fengtian Clique under the Zhangs in OTL, the Qing government in exile in Manchuria revived the provincial assemblies, which allowed the Manchurian elite to identify their interests with the state, with authorities representing bureaucratic, commercial, and educational interests, and the local population of Manchuria participated in these assemblies too, as a way to advance their positions and receive government bribes, as Bribery played an important part in the elections, with regulations and institutionalization of it. In 1927, 800,000+ people were allowed to vote, electing 64 members to the provincial assembly. A county within the Kwantung Leased Territory also asked to join.

And like in OTL, Fengtian chambers of commerce were also incredibly important, as they were used to monitor the business environment of Manchuria and also and encourage commerce and trade in Manchuria assisted in supplying the Fengtian Army and levying taxes for Zhang Zuolin in OTL, and the rump Qing army and the Qing government in exile in this timeline, and many business leaders came from the bureaucratic group that participated in the provincial assembly, so their interests were represented through Zhang Zuolin in OTL, and the Qing government in exile in this timeline, and however, business interests did come into conflict with Zhang's political interests sometimes in OTL and the Qing government in exile in this timeline, especially during and after the Second Zhili–Fengtian War, and when wars did not provide immediate benefits for the Manchurian economy, doubts started to surface about Zhang in OTL, which of course never happens in this timeline, but however, Zhang still held authority over civilian organizations and government organs in Fengtian in OTL, and these are controlled by the Qing government in exile in this timeline, and in OTL Zhang used these organs for his own interest, the Qing government in exile in this timeline does the same.

the Japanese decided to make this Qing rump state formed from the Qing exiles fleeing from the Xinhai Revolution, overthrowing Zhang Zuolin and making the Fengtian Clique into a Qing rump state into the reigning Qing imperial family, the Manchu military and noble, later royal family of the Royal House of Aisin-Gioro-ruled unitary one-party authoritarian imperial royal monarchy under a totalitarian military dictatorship known as the Empire of Manchukuo sometime in the early 1920s, like OTL, Manchukuo is of course ruled by Pu-Yi as Emperor Kangte [Kant] of Manchukuo, the Aisin-Gioro family lives in the palace in the northeastern corner of Changchun, Jilin province, Manchuria, which was the official residence created by the Imperial Japanese Army for China's last emperor Puyi to live in as part of his role as Emperor of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo, which was designed as a miniature version of the Forbidden City in Beijing, which was divided into an inner court and outer court, and the outer or front court was used for administrative purposes and the inner or rear court as the royal residence, and the palace covers an area of 43,000 square meters, and the inner court includes the private living quarters for Puyi and his family, and its main structures include the Jixi Building on the west courtyard and the Tongde Hall on the east courtyard, and the outer court contained buildings for affairs of state, and its main buildings include the Qianmin Building, the Huanyuan Building and Jiale Hall, and the architecture of the buildings is in a wide range of styles: Chinese, Japanese, and European, and within the complex were gardens, including rockeries and a fish pond, a swimming pool, air-raid shelter, a tennis court, a small golf course and a horse track, and around the courtyards were nine two-storey blockhouses for the Manchukuo Imperial Guard, and the entire complex was surrounded by high concrete walls, [ the palace in the northeastern corner of Changchun, Jilin province, Manchuria, which was the official residence created by the Imperial Japanese Army for China's last emperor Puyi to live in as part of his role as Emperor of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo] the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo, [ the reinstated Aisin-Gioro family living in the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo] which [the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo] was [the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo], its imperial seal is Imperial Seal of the Emperor of Manchukuo, which had a design of orchid (Cymbidium goeringii) flower, with five sorghum branches in between the five orchid petals, and was entirely yellow, and whose design was based on Cymbidium goeringii, the favorite flower of the Emperor of Manchukuo, and Sorghum was the staple food of Manchukuo and was added as a part of the design, and the imperial seal was adopted on 25 April 1934, and it also appeared on the Emperor of Manchukuo's personal standard, and its national flag is the post-March 1, 1932, pre- August 17, 1945 Civil and state flag, civil ensign of the Empire of Manchuria had a yellow field with four horizontal stripes of different colors in the upper left corner, and the colors of the flag were based on the colors on the Five Races Under One Union flags used by the Beiyang government, the Empire of China, and by the Fengtian clique, with Yellow represents the center and the Manchus;

Since Zhang Zuolin was overthrown during the Xinhai Revolution, the part-Manchu, part Han Chinese general who in 1928 succeeded his father Zhang Zuolin as the commander of the Northeastern Army, who was a reformer sympathetic to nationalist ideas, he completed the official reunification of China by pledging loyalty to the Nationalist government, and used his powerful base to wield significant influence in the politics of the Nanjing decade, who followed Chiang's policy of nonresistance to the Japanese invasions of Manchuria in 1931 and Rehe in 1933, after which he was forced to resign as head of the Northeastern Army, Zhang Xueliang of course never becomes Warlord of Manchuria in this timeline.

the Japanese were also able to take the Inner Mongolian provinces of Chahar and Suiyan from the Fengtian Clique after the putsch to form what would become the side branch of the main branch of the Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled, absolute imperial royal parliamentary monarchy under a military dictatorship known as the Mongolian Autonomous Federation/Mengjiang ruled by the Qing Empire-era Chinese Mongol prince descended from the main branch of the Borjigin imperial clan, who was born into one of the Eight Banners of Manchu military and society during the Later Jin and Qing dynasty of China, which was one of the three "upper" banners (Plain Yellow Banner, Bordered Yellow Banner, and Plain White Banner) directly controlled by the emperor, as opposed to the other five "lower" banners known as the Plain White Bannerwho lived during the 20th century and became the leader of an independence movement in Inner Mongolia lead by Demchugdongrub, also known as Prince De, the Inner Mongolian military units in service of the Mongolian Autonomous Federation/Mengjiang, initially formed from the personal units of various Mongol banner chiefs, along with the bandit gangs that were based in the region, thus consisting of Mongolian tribesmen along with Han Chinese bandits, and thus being the Mongolian Autonomous Federation’s post-1936, pre-1945 unofficial military force, the Inner Mongolian Army is formed from units of the Beiyang Government's Beiyang Army in Chahar and Suiyan

In East Turkestan, the Sunni Islamized, Turkified side branch of the main branch of the Genghis Khan-descended, Mongolian military family, noble family, and later royal family of the Imperial House of Borjigin known as the Imperial House of Chagatai-ruled Kashghar Khanate, more specifically the Imperial House of Chagatai-ruled Kashghar Khanate's rump state/breakaway state of the Imperial House of Chagatai-ruled Moghulistan,[a] also called the Moghul Khanate or the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is restored in East Turkestan after the Xinhai Revolution, via the Eastern Chagatai Khanate's rump state of the Imperial House of Chagatai-ruled Kumul Khanate in East Turkestan's Hami province seizing control of the Xinjiang Clique ruling over the rest of East Turkestan.

Tibet, after kicking out both the Qing and the Beiyang Government, subsequently forms the Llama-ruled the Kingdom of Tibet with heavy influence from both the Imperial House of Yarlung\Yarlung dynasty-ruled Tibetan Empire, the Imperial House of Lang\the Phagmodrupa\Pagmodru dynasty-ruled, Second Tibetian Empire, with the Dalai Lamas acting as spiritual leaders of Tibet and the supposed descendants of the Imperial House of Lang\the Phagmodrupa\Pagmodru dynasty ruling over Tibet as the Emperors of Tibet, the Dalai Lamas the supposed descendants of the Imperial House of Lang\the Phagmodrupa\Pagmodru dynasty ruling over Tibet as the Emperors of Tibet simultaneously co-rule Tibet as a dual monarchy system.

Tibet's government is still the traditional diarchal political system of Tibetan peoples whereby the Desi (temporal ruler) coexists with the spiritual authority of the realm, usually unified under a third single ruler, and because the ultimate ruler is the patron and protector of state religion, some aspects of the dual system of government may be likened to the Supreme Governance of the Church of England, or even to theocracy, but however, other aspects resemble secularism, aiming to separate the doctrines of religion and politics, and under the Cho-sid-nyi, both religious and temporal authorities wield actual political power, albeit within officially separate institutions, and religious and secular officials might work side by side, each responsible to different bureaucracies, [ the traditional diarchal political system of Tibetan peoples whereby the Desi (temporal ruler) coexists with the spiritual authority of the realm] known [ the traditional diarchal political system of Tibetan peoples whereby the Desi (temporal ruler) coexists with the spiritual authority of the realm] as [the name as the traditional diarchal political system of Tibetan peoples whereby the Desi (temporal ruler) coexists with the spiritual authority of the realm, the Cho-sid-nyi ["both Dharma and temporal," |Cho-sid-nyi|] consisting of a judiciary branch, a legislative branch, and an executive branch, the dGa’ ldan pho brang,[the dGa’ ldan pho brang], and it's [Tibet's] military is still the post-1913, pre-1959 armed forces of the Kingdom of Tibet, the Dmag Dpung Bod [Tibetian Army |Dmag Dpung Bod|]

The powerful warlord clique in China based in Guangxi that grew after the founding of the Republic of China, which was led by Lu Rongting, the clique was able to take control of neighbouring Hunan and Guangdong provinces as well, and along with the Yunnan clique, they formed the core of opposition to Yuan Shikai's monarchist ambitions during the National Protection War, and with Yunnan and Sun Yat-sen's Chinese Revolutionary Party, they started the Constitutional Protection Movement, and they quickly came to disagree with Sun and squeezed him out of power, and Sun, Chen Jiongming, and the Yunnan clique defeated them in the Guangdong-Guangxi War known as the Old Guangxi Clique was formed as the government of both Guangdong and Guangxi after the Xinhai Revolution like OTL, before being overthrown by the KMT and what would become Nationalist China like OTL.

The kicker here is this, the military campaign launched by the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) of the Kuomintang (KMT) against the Beiyang government and other regional warlords in 1926, and the purpose of the campaign was to reunify China, which had become fragmented in the aftermath of the 1911 Revolution, and the expedition was led by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, and was divided into two phases, with the first phase ended in a 1927 political split between two factions of the KMT: the right-leaning Nanjing faction, led by Chiang, and the left-leaning faction in Wuhan, led by Wang Jingwei, and the split was partially motivated by Chiang's Shanghai Massacre of Communists within the KMT, which marked the end of the First United Front, and in an effort to mend this schism, Chiang Kai-shek stepped down as the commander of the NRA in August 1927, and went into exile in Japan, and the second phase of the Expedition began in January 1928, when Chiang resumed command. By April 1928, the nationalist forces had advanced to the Yellow River, and with the assistance of allied warlords, including Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, nationalist forces secured a series of decisive victories against the Beiyang Army, and as they approached Beijing, Zhang Zuolin, leader of the Manchuria-based Fengtian clique, was forced to flee, and was assassinated shortly thereafter by the Soviets, and his son, Zhang Xueliang, took over as the leader of the Fengtian clique, and in December 1928, announced that Manchuria would accept the authority of the nationalist government in Nanjing, and with the final piece of China under KMT control, the military expedition by the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government to reunite China under its rule concluded successfully and China was reunified, heralding the start of the Nanjing decade, [ the military campaign launched by the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) of the Kuomintang (KMT) against the Beiyang government and other regional warlords in 1926, and the purpose of the campaign was to reunify China] known as the Northern Expedition, [the Northern Expedition] flops in this timeline due to Manchuria and Inner Mongolia both being Japanese protectorates earlier than in OTL, and also being uncontested by the Beiyang Government, which of course fragments harder than OTL after Yuan Shikai transforms the Beiyang Government from the first Republic of China to the Empire of China from 11 December 1915-12 December 1915, after he was installed as the second Provisional Great President of the Republic of China established by Sun Yat-sen, and then took various steps to consolidate his power and remove opposition leaders from office, although both Sun-Yat sen and Yuan were "modernizers", but Sun was considered a "radical revolutionary", while Yuan a "conservative reformer", and to secure his own power he collaborated with various European powers as well as Japan, and around August 1915, he instructed Yang Du et al. to canvass support for a return of the pre-Qing Han Chinese imperial monarchy, which lead to a civil war that took place in mainland China between 25 December 1915 – 14 July 1916, following the overthrow of the Qing Empire three years previously, the Republic of China was established in its place, and the war was caused by President Yuan Shikai's proclamation of the Empire of China, with himself as the Hongxian Emperor, [the civil war that took place in mainland China between 25 December 1915 – 14 July 1916] known as the National Protection War, also known as the Anti-Monarchy War, which [the National Protection War] ended with a Republican victory and the Beiyang Government transitioning back to the first Republic of China from the Empire of China on 22 March

Protection War of 25 December 1915 – 14 July 1916] leading to the history of the Beiyang Government as the first Republic of China between 1916 and 1928, when control of the country was divided between rival military cliques of the Beiyang Government's Beiyang Army and other regional factions in the former Qing Empire, which began after the death of Yuan Shikai, the President of China after the Xinhai Revolution had overthrown the Qing dynasty and established the Republic of China in 1912, and Yuan's death on 6 June 1916 created a power vacuum which was filled by military strongmen and widespread violence, chaos, and oppression, and the Nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) government of Sun Yat-sen, based in Guangzhou, began to contest Yuan's Beiyang government based in Beijing for recognition as the legitimate government of China, [the history of the Beiyang Government as the first Republic of China between 1916 and 1928, when control of the country was divided between rival

the Beiyang Government's Beiyang Army and other regional factions in the former Qing Empire causing China to be fucked even more harder than OTL due to Manchuria and Inner Mongolia both being Japanese protectorates earlier and longer than OTL], but here is the kicker, in this timeline, Yuan Shikai dies before he can abdicate in this timeline, and as his [Shikai's] half-Korean eldest son, [Shikai's

The Beiyang Government as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu as its reigning imperial family never manages to hold on to much of Han China beyond the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Anhui as well as the two municipalities of Nanjing and Shanghai, post-1915 to 1938, but is considered to be the legitimate government of Han China by the Han Chinese and some of the world powers, who view the CCP-ruled PRC in the North of Han China and the KMT-ruled Nationalist China as rebel states and illegitimate forces, this is part due to the North of Han China being mostly populated by the Hànzú [ "Han ethnic group" |hànzú| a East Asian ethnic group native to Greater China, originating from the Central Plains, who are the descendants of Manchurian/Manchu/Jurchen settler colonists from Manchuria, along with Turkic settler colonists from East Turkestan and Mongolian settler-colonists from Mongolia who |the Manchurian/Manchu/Jurchen settler colonists from Manchuria, along with Turkic settler colonists from East Turkestan and Mongolian settler-colonists from Mongolia who are the collective ancestors of the Hànzú| in total are |the Manchurian/Manchu/Jurchen settler colonists from Manchuria, along with Turkic settler colonists from East Turkestan and Mongolian settler-colonists from Mongolia who are the collective ancestors of the Hànzú| known |the Manchurian/Manchu/Jurchen settler colonists from Manchuria, along with Turkic settler colonists from East Turkestan and Mongolian settler-colonists from Mongolia who are the collective ancestors of the Hànzú| as the Huáxià |beautiful grandeur| people, |the Huáxià and later the hànzú| residing in the eighteen provinces of Han from the Han dynasty to the Ming dynasty onwards, with the Hànzú including but not being limited to the East Asian ethnoreligious group predominantly composed of Chinese-speaking adherents of Islam, which are distributed throughout China, mainly in Han China's northwestern provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and in the the part of the North China Plain surrounding the lower and middle reaches of the Yellow River, centered on the region between Luoyang and Kaifeng, more specifically Henan, Shaanxi, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong, as well as the northern part of Anhui and the northwestern part of Jiangsu that has been perceived as the birthplace of the dynastic Han Chinese civilization known as the Zhongyuan region known as the Hui, but not being limited to the Hui, who |the Hànzú| have exerted the primary formative influence in shaping the development and growth of Chinese civilization as the true Han Chinese, with notable members of this ethnic group |the Hànzú | being all the ruling families of the Chinese dynasties from the Han to the Ming along with the nobility and citizens of said dynasties, Confucius, the Ma family during the Chinese warlord era, the Xingjiang Clique's most infamous leader, Sheng Shicai and the CCP-ruled PRC's first dictator, Mao Zedong] and Southern Han China, along with Cantonia mostly being populated by Hoklo, Hakka, Cantonese and the Bǎiyuè ["Hundred Yue" |Bǎiyuè| who are the Southeast Asian descended indigenous people of Han China and Cantonia who are genetically similar to the Cambodians, Southern Vietnamese and Laotians and share a similar language, culture and history, and are the people defined today as Han Chinese].

Politics in Beiyang Government as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu as its reigning imperial family is dominated by the Kuomingtang [Dr. Sun Yat-sen's true heir and chosen successor Wang Jingwei's pro-Japanese, pan-Asian, collaborations faction, combined with the renmants of the original KMT formed by both Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren], the constitionalist, statist, Han monarchist, Han nationalist, Chinese nationalist, ultranationalist and militarist, having a policy of nationalism with strong central government, liberty through the rule of law, and peaceful foreign policy of the post-29 May 1913-1916, pre-1945-1947 political party in Beiyang Government-ruled China of the Research Clique, and later on the post-2 December 1923 conservative, Chinese nationalist, adhering to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's three principles of the people: nationalism, democracy and Socialism, advocating for the elimination of China's warlords and the establishment of a strong central government, along with promoting a nationalist agenda which focused on the abolition of the special privileges and extraterritoriality which foreign powers had obtained in the China region during the last days of the Aisin-Gioro-ruled Great Qing Empire, being strongly anti-communist and consisting largely of landlords, school teachers, and businessmen, along with being based in the Zhang family-ruled Fengtian Clique, the Young China Party and the post-November 1927-9 August 1930 Chinese political party having an ideology of Chinese nationalism, Chinese imperialism, Han nationalism, Han imperialism and socialism with Chinese characterstics, the Chinese Peasants’ and Workers’ Democratic Party.

and of course Zhang Xueliang's announcement on 29 December 1928 that all banners of the Beiyang government in Manchuria would be replaced with the flag of the Nationalist government, thus nominally uniting China under one government, and after the death of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang returned to Shenyang to succeed his father's position, and on July 1 he announced an armistice with the National Revolutionary Army and proclaimed that he would not interfere with the reunification, and the Japanese were dissatisfied with the move and demanded Zhang to proclaim the independence of Manchuria, and he refused the Japanese demand and proceeded with unification matters, and on July 3 Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Beijing and met the representative from the Fengtian clique to discuss a peaceful settlement, and this negotiation reflected the scramble between the US and Japan on her sphere of influence in China because the US supported Chiang Kai-shek unifying Manchuria, and under pressure from the US and Britain, Japan was diplomatically isolated on this issue, and on December 29 Zhang Xueliang announced the replacement of all flags in Manchuria and accepted the jurisdiction of the Nationalist government, and two days later the Nationalist government appointed Zhang as commander of the Northeast Army.

Negotiations were held between Chiang and the CCP, resulting in verbal agreement on the broad outlines of an alliance, and after Chiang was released, he publicly renounced the terms he had agreed to in captivity, but secretly continued the negotiations that would result in the Second United Front, and the Xi'an Incident followed months of secret negotiations between the CCP and the Nationalists, and only minor progress had been made by December 1936, and however, the CCP had also been negotiating directly with the Nationalist armies that surrounded it, including the Northeastern Army, and these negotiations had been much more successful, and the CCP formed a secret alliance with Zhang's Northeastern Army and Yang Hucheng's Northwestern Army that aimed to see the civil war ended and a war of national liberation begun against Japan, and with encouragement from the CCP, Zhang repeatedly but unsuccessfully pressured Chiang to agree to a ceasefire with the CCP, and after Chiang gave Zhang an ultimatum to either attack the Communists or be reassigned, Zhang decided to take Chiang hostage and force a settlement, and Chiang Kai-shek's sudden capture was shocking news, and the CCP was ecstatic, believing that an agreement with Chiang was no longer necessary now that he was in the custody of their ally, and they recommended he be put on trial and executed, but the USSR's then dictator and Chiang's main sugar daddy Joseph Stalin, however, was worried that executing Chiang would make controlling China through the KMT impossible, and [Stalin] ordered the CCP to release his [Stalin's] puppet [Chiang], and the CCP reluctantly accepted this directive and instructed Zhou Enlai to begin negotiations [with both the Soviets and the KMT], and the Nationalist government was thrown into disarray and was at first unsure at how to react, and a full military assault on Xi'an was nearly carried out by General He Yingqin before Soong Mei-ling (Chiang's wife) and other leaders of the "peace faction" prevailed, and soong and other close advisors to Chiang flew to Xi'an and convinced him to begin negotiations with the Communists, and after a few weeks of slow progress, Chiang had agreed in principle to a ceasefire and a united front against Japan, and on December 26, Zhang agreed to release Chiang and accompany him back to Nanjing, and upon arrival, Chiang immediately had Zhang arrested—he would remain under house arrest for the next 50 years, and Chiang publicly reneged on his agreements, but in private he invited Zhou Enlai to come to Nanjing, and negotiations on the specifics of an alliance continued until shortly after the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, at which point the two sides were able to finalize their terms, [the Chinese political crisis that lasted from 12 to 26 December 1936, in which Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Nationalist government of China, was arrested in Xi'an by soldiers of the Northeastern Army under the command of General Zhang Xueliang.

of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government, which later became the position of President of Nationalist China was when the political principle of Dǎngguó [Party-state], which [Dǎngguó] was [Dǎngguó] modeled off the Soviet Union’s system of dictatorship and [Dǎngguó] meant that major national policies of the state’s government bureaucracy were formulated by the Kuomintang, giving the party [the Kuomingtang] supreme power over the whole nation,which meant that bureaucracy had then become the means and the tools of Kuomintang, where all the major national policies were formulated, while resulted in the party [the Kuomingtang] holding the supreme power of the whole nation with military personnel and civil servants alike were expected to owe their allegiance to Kuomintang first and the state second, the Nationalist Chinese military intelligence agency devoted to intelligence gathering and covert spying operation for purposes of national security and defense, having a great influence amongst the NRA along with the post-1927 to 1932, pre-1946 Nationalist Chinese police, administration, and transportation agencies, as well as embassies and consulates abroad, involved in covert and espionage operation, including surveillance, kidnapping, assassinations, elimination and house-arrest against Chinese communists, Japanese spies as well as political dissidents, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and the Nationalist Chinese post-1927, pre-1949 intelligence unit under the Organisation Department of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang which focused on civilian intelligence, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, with one of the political factions within the Kuomintang, during the Nationalist Chinese occupation of the Beiyang Government as the first Republic of China, which represented traditionalists, anti-Communists, Constitutionalism, Free Market Economy, and land reformers, and stood closest to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, influencing appointments and promotions, and held the largest block of votes in the Central Executive Committee and whose members included many of the elite within the party, and also influencing intelligence, trade, banking, the military, education, and propaganda within Nationalist China, also placing loyal followers throughout the party and the government machinery, ensuring influence in the bureaucracy, educational agencies, youth organization and labor unions in Nationalist China and also influenced the KMT's Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, the Gexin Clique, better known as the Central Club Clique in English effecively controlling political life in Nationalist China through the post-1932 secret ultranationalist faction in the Kuomintang inspired by German and Italian fascists, which articulated a slogan of "Nationalize, Militarize, Productive.", and whose rhetoric stressed contempt for liberal democracy and the political usefulness of violence, and favored a "permanent purge" of bureaucracy, and in their view a "mass violence organization" was necessary to achieve that purge, with an ideology of Cantonese ultranationalism, Three Principles of the People, Anti-communism, Anti-imperialism, and being Pro-Chiang Kai-shek, the Society of Practice of the Three Principles of the People, the Spirit Encouragement Society (勵志社, SES) and the China Reconstruction Society (中華復興社, CRS), and more infamously, the Blue Shirts Society (BSS) via the Whole New Culture Movement via the Chinese Culture Academy to increase the BSS's influence in culture by having the CC Clique through the Blue Shirts taking over several newspapers and journals, and by enrolling its members in universities and whose scheme of forging a movement for a new culture was adopted by Chiang, and on 19 February 1934, he announced the government-led civic campaign in the KMT-ruled Nationalist China to promote cultural reform and Neo-Confucian social morality and to ultimately unite China under a centralised ideology following the emergence of ideological challenges to the status quo, which was launched on 19 February 1934 as part of an anti-Communist campaign, and soon enlarged the campaign to target the whole nation, advocating a life guided by four virtues, lǐ (禮/礼, proper rite), yì (義/义, righteousness or justice), lián (廉, honesty and cleanness) and chǐ (恥/耻, shame; sense of right and wrong), and proceeded with help of the Blue Shirts Society and the CC Clique within the Nationalist Party, and Christian missionaries in China, and was founded at a time when China, already weakened by Western imperialism, faced the threats of rising Japanese militarism, domestic factionalism and communism, and was set in the context of the Chiangs' growing concern with corruption, and moral decadence that they blamed on foreign influences, and also due to the fact that "Corruption was an abiding feature of Chiang Kai-shek's rule" and that nepotism and bribery were rife among the bureaucracy, and Chiang charged that "If we do not weed the present body of corruption, bribery, perfunctoriness, and ignorance, and establish instead a clean, effective administration, the day will soon come when the revolution will be started against us as we did the Manchus", t and thus attempted to counter such threats through a resurrection of traditional Chinese morality [read twisting Hànzú, Manchu, Mongolian, Uyghur, Tibetian and Yunnanese culture into a Pan-Chinese blender for the benefit of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Bǎiyuè, Cantonese and Hakka supremacist Stalinist government], which it held to more suitable to Bǎiyuè society to modern Western values, and as such the Movement was based upon Confucianism, mixed with Christianity, nationalism and authoritarianism which have some similarities to fascism,[3] which some saw as rejecting individualism and liberalism, while also opposing radical movements such as socialism and communism, targeting the official, educated, and affluent Bǎiyuè, Cantonese and Hakka classes in Nationalist China in the belief that China's ills under the KMT occupation could be cured "by example and exhortation from above.", and this trickle-down philosophy of societal transformation neatly paralleled a Confucian belief, and its concept of "salvation from within" was also purportedly on some level modeled on the Christian notion of changing the world by changing individuals, as Chiang later extended the four virtues to eight by the addition of "Promptness", "Precision," "Harmoniousness," and "Dignity", and these respective elements were summarized in two basic forms: "cleanliness" and "discipline" and were viewed as the first step in achieving a "new life", and people were encouraged to engage in modern polite behaviour, such as not to spit, urinate or sneeze in public, and they were encouraged to adopt good table manners such as not making noises when eating, and nearly 100 such rules governed everyday life, and the movement itself many similarities with Neo-Confucianism, which had been the dominant moral philosophy of previous centuries. and its "four virtues" were taken from Confucian school of thought, beingalso shaped by Chiang's Christianity, and it was "an ambitious moral and ethical enterprise which proposed nothing less than a Chinese renaissance, a complete reformation of the habits, customs and manners of one fourth of the human race, to bring them more in line with the accepted morals of Christian civilisation", as overlapping moral guidelines exist between Confucianism and Christianity, as the 95 rules placed in the New Life movement often blur the lines between the influence of the two on the Movement, such as "do not gamble" or "be polite and courteous to women and children", having a totalitarian element, being a "modern counterrevolution" opposed to an "anti-revolutionary conservatism" due to the fact that it instrumentalised traditional moral codes and societal constructs, imitating Nazism as it was a neo-nationalistic movement used to elevate Chiang's control of everyday lives, although it ended failure as both domestic and foreign reception remained paltry throughout the duration of the movement, and the combination of the movement's inability to formulate a systematic ideology and the seeming banality of its concerns caused both Chinese and foreign commentators to ignore the significance of the movement's ideology and intentions and instead to stress the more superficial aspects of the movement, and consequently, the movement was approached variously as a joke, or to those taking it more seriously, a shallow and antiquated regression to Chinese tradition when tradition had already proved incapable of solving China's problems, and the Movement's inability to formulate a systematic ideology and abstract code of ethics contrasted sharply with the promises of the Communists, who spoke sharply and to the point on taxation, distribution of land and the disposition of overlords, and from the perspective of some impoverished Hànzú, Manchu, Mongolian, Uyghur, Tibetian and Yunnanese citizens in Han China under the Soviet occupation through the KMT-ruled Nationalist China, the policies of Mao and Hitler were far more practical and coherent, leading to the lack of significance attributed to the New Life Movement, and on a Western perspective, Chiang's complex code of ethics was far too abstract and lacking in action to be useful or pragmatic, perceived as being superficial and inordinately idealistic, the New Life Movement at a meeting in Nanchang, and the plan involved reconstructing the moral system of the Chinese and welcoming a renaissance and reconstruction of Chinese national pride [read twisting Hànzú, Manchu, Mongolian, Uyghur, Tibetian and Yunnanese culture into a Pan-Chinese blender for the benefit of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Bǎiyuè, Cantonese and Hakka supremacist Stalinist government] and in connection with the New Life Movement, some Blue Shirts attacked what they deemed as symbols of Western decadence like dance halls and movie theaters, and some threw acid on Hànzú dressed in Western attire and in March 1934, Chiang issued guidance, consisting of 95 rules of the New Life Movement, being a mixture of Chinese traditions and western standards. It was a vast propaganda movement, with war mobilization and military maneuvers on a scale that China had never experienced before. But because the plan was so ambitious and rigid, and because its policies created too much inconvenience in the everyday lives of the people, it fell into disfavor, and nearly three years later in 1936, Chiang had to accept that his [Chiang's] favorite movement had failed, [Dǎngguó, the New Life Movement and the Blue Shirts Society] all getting out of control during Chiang Ching-kuo's reign from 1936-1990, after Chiang Ching-kuo's death in 1990, his [Chiang Ching-kuo's] part-Russo-Belarussian son, Chiang Hsiao-wen, also known as Alan Chiang; né Erik Nikolayevich Elizarov, [Chiang Ching-kuo's part-Russo-Belarussian son, Chiang Hsiao-wen, also known as Alan Chiang; né Erik Nikolayevich Elizarov] succeeds him [Chiang Ching-kuo] as President of the Nationalist Chinese government, [Chiang Hsiao-wen as President of the Nationalist Chinese government] ruling from around 1991-1994, upon his [Chiang Hsiao-wen's] death in 1994, the position of President of the Nationalist Chinese government became monopolized and hereditary among the members of the Chiang-Soong clan, starting with the illegitimate son of Chiang Ching-kuo and his mistress Chang Ya-juo, Chiang Hsiao-yen, or John Chiang, formerly surnamed Chang, who [Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang] succeded Chiang Hsiao-wen as President of the Nationalist Chinese government, [Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang as President of the Nationalist Chinese government] reigning as President of the Nationalist Chinese government from 1995 until the 21th century [2025].

Like in the Kim family governed, WPK-ruled DPRK in North Korea in OTL with the Kim dynasty, the people of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government are brainwashed to view the Chiang-Soong clan as the saviors of both Southern Han China and Cantonia and to view Dr. Sun Yat-sen's eternal presidency of the KMT as the eternal presidency of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government as well, the Chiang-Soong clan also play upon its origins from the political family of the Beiyang Goverment of the Republic of China, and later the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chiense with Wu Chinese background from Zhejiang province, who were members of a prosperous family of salt merchants descended from the Zhikou Jiangs, who were in turn descended from the descendant of the member of the royal family of the early Zhou dynasty, the Hànzú House of Ji, who played a major role in consolidating the kingdom established by his elder brother King Wu, who was renowned for acting as a capable and loyal regent for his young nephew King Cheng, and for successfully suppressing the Rebellion of the Three Guards and establishing firm rule of the Zhou dynasty over eastern China, and he is also a Chinese culture hero, with the authorship of the I Ching and the Classic of Poetry having traditionally been attributed to him,[3] as well as the establishment of the Rites of Zhou, Dan, Duke Wen of Zhou, commonly known as the Duke of Zhou, [the descendant of Dan, Duke Wen of Zhou, commonly known as the Duke of Zhou who was the ancestor of the Zhikou Jiangs] known as the Jiang Shijie who during the 17th century moved there from Fenghua District, whose ancestors in turn came to southeastern China's Zhejiang province after moving out of Northern China in the 13th century CE and held senior positions in Chinese politics first on the Chinese mainland and then in Taiwan after 1949 known as the Chiang family and the Hainanese of Hakka ancestry missionary family turned wealthy US and Cantonia-based merchants and traders in the last days of the Aisin-Gioro-ruled Great Qing Empire and the early post-Xinhai Revolution era, the Sòng [Soong |Sòng|] family through Chiang Kai-shek marrying the then heiress of the Sòng family at the time, the eleven year younger Sòng Měi Líng [Soong Mei-ling |Sòng Měi Líng|], which thus gives them the right to rule over not just the KMT-ruled Nationalist China, but all of China, like the Kim clan in OTL which calls itself the "Mount Paketsu Bloodline", the Chiang-Soong clan calls itself the "Heqiao bloodline" in reference to the Chiang family originally coming from the town in Yixing, Jiangsu, about 38 km (24 mi) southwest of central Wuxi and 10 km (6.2 mi) from the shores of Lake Tai known as Heqiao, the KMT's "New Life Movement" is roughly equivalent to the post-24 June 1949 Korean nationalist, Korean expansionist Korean imperialist, Marxist-Stalinist Workers’ Party of Korea-ruled , adhering to the ideology of a self-reliant state which independently determines its political, economic, and military affairs known as Juche, and the KMT's Dǎngguó ideology is roughly equivalent to the synthesis of the ideas of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il which governs the WPK-ruled DPRK, as the WPK is committed to Juche, an ideology attributed to Kim Il Sung which promotes national independence and development through the efforts of the masses, and although Juche was originally presented as the Korean interpretation of Marxism–Leninism, the party now presents it as a freestanding philosophy of Kim Il Sung, and the WPK recognizes the ruling Kim family of the DPRK as the ultimate source of its political thought, which is an integral system of the idea, theory and method of Juche and a great revolutionary ideology representative of the Juche era., and guided by said ideology , the DPRK should conduct Party building and Party activities, so as to sustain the revolutionary character of our Party and advance the revolution and construction in line with the ideas and intentions of the President [Kim Il Sung] and the General [Kim Jong Il], Kimilsungism–Kimjongilism,

the continued "military tutilage' of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government by the KMT via the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese NRA via Dǎngguó through the National Government of the Republic of China’s Military Affairs Commission, which [the National Government of the Republic of China’s Military Affairs Commission] directed the military affairs of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime "in preparation for the final transition" to democracy of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government is the nationalist Chinese equivalent of a "military first" policy which prioritizes the WPK-ruled DPRK's Korean People's Army in state affairs and the allocation of resources in the WPK-ruled DPRK, which essentially is a "military-first" policy of the WPK-ruled DPRK, prioritizing the WPK-ruled DPRK's Korean People's Army in both the affairs of state and allocation of resources in the WPK-ruled DPRK, as "Military-first" as a principle guides political and economic life in the WPK-ruled DPRK, with "military-first politics" dominating the political system; "a line of military-first economic construction" acting as an economic system; and "military-first ideology" serving as the guiding ideology, as the ideology itself elevates the Korean People's Army within the WPK-ruled DPRK as an organization and as a state function, granting it the primary position in the WPK-ruled DPRK's government and [the WPK-ruled DPRK's] society, as the ideology iself guides the WPK-ruled DPRK's domestic policy and [rhe WPK-ruled DPRK's] international interactions, and[the ideology] is the framework for the [the WPK-ruled DPRK's] government, designating the WPK-ruled DPRK's military [the WPK-ruled DPRK's KPA] as the "supreme repository of power" [in the WPK-ruled DPRK], and thus the government grants the he WPK-ruled DPRK's Korean People's Army the highest economic and resource-allocation priority in the WPK-ruled DPRK and [the WPK-ruled DPRK's government] also [the WPK-ruled DPRK's government] positions it [the WPK-ruled DPRK's KPA] as the model [the WPK-ruled DPRK's KPA] for the WPK-ruled DPRK's society to emulate, the ideology in general states that a nation's independence, sovereignty, and prosperity were dependent on the existence of an organized and well-armed fighting force, aiming to arm the entire population, fortify the state, educate every soldier to become a party cadre, and modernize the People's Army, [the "military first" policy which prioritizes the WPK-ruled DPRK's Korean People's Army in state affairs and the allocation of resources in the WPK-ruled DPRK, which essentially is a "military-first" policy of the WPK-ruled DPRK, prioritizing the WPK-ruled DPRK's Korean People's Army in both the affairs of state and allocation of resources in the WPK-ruled DPRK, as "Military-first" as a principle guides political and economic life in the WPK-ruled DPRK, with "military-first politics" dominating the political system; "a line of military-first economic construction" acting as an economic system; and "military-first ideology" serving as the guiding ideology, as the ideology itself elevates the Korean People's Army within the WPK-ruled DPRK as an organization and as a state function] known [the "military first" policy which prioritizes the WPK-ruled DPRK's Korean People's Army in state affairs and the allocation of resources in the WPK-ruled DPRK, which essentially is a "military-first" policy of the WPK-ruled DPRK, prioritizing the WPK-ruled DPRK's Korean People's Army in both the affairs of state and allocation of resources in the WPK-ruled DPRK, as "Military-first" as a principle guides political and economic life in the WPK-ruled DPRK, with "military-first politics" dominating the political system; "a line of military-first economic construction" acting as an economic system; and "military-first ideology" serving as the guiding ideology, as the ideology itself elevates the Korean People's Army within the WPK-ruled DPRK as an organization and as a state function] as Sŏn'gun chŏngch'i [Military-first politics |Sŏn'gun chŏngch'i|],

The Nationalist Chinese NRA still becomes the KMT-ruled Nationalist China’s post-25 December 1947 combined armed forces, consisting of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese post-16 June 1924-25 December 1947 ground warfare branch of the Nationalist Chinese military, whose primary focus is on defense and counterattack against amphibious assault and urban warfare, the Republic of China Army, the post-1924 maritime branch of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese armed forces, whose primary mission is to defend the KMT-ruled Nationalist China;s territories and the sea lanes under its jurisdiction against any possible blockades, attacks, or invasion, whose operations include maritime patrols in the Taiwan Strait and surrounding waters, as well as readiness for counter-strike and counter-invasion operations during wartime, the Republic of China Navy (including the Marine Corps), the post-1920-25 December 1947 military aviation branch of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese military, whose primary mission is the defense of the airspace over and around the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese territories, and whose priorities in the modern day include the development of long range reconnaissance and surveillance networks, integrating C4ISTAR systems to increase battle effectiveness, procuring counterstrike weapons, next generation fighters, and hardening airfields and other facilities to survive a surprise attack, the Republic of China Air Force and the post-1925 military police body in the KMT-ruled Nationalist China responsible for protecting government leaders from assassination or capture, guarding Taiwan’s strategic facilities, and counterintelligence against enemy infiltrators, spies, and saboteurs, the Republic of China Military Police Force, all under the the post-1925-1946 ministry of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government responsible for all defense and military affairs of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government, the Ministry of National Defense of the National Government of the Republic of China under the the Republic of China Armed Forces/Chinese National Armed Forces, [the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Republic of China Armed Forces/Chinese National Armed Forces] in addition to the Republic of China Armed Forces/Chinese National Armed Forces' special forces unit tasked with carring out special operations, including decaptation strikes in the events of a war, the Airborne Special Service Company, with the help of along with the intelligence agency directly under the General Staff Headquarters of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of China, whose main task is to collect information about China's political and military activities, and it is also the only espionage operative unit of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government, whose mission is to collect political and military intelligence on the CCP-ruled PRC in mainland China, and even when necessary to plan espionage operations of sabotage, assassination, psychological warfare whose special missions include the timely establishment of post-enemy forces, incite defection and psychological warfare against the CCP-ruled PRC's PLA, the Nationalist Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau, along with the KMT-ruled Nationalist China’s post-1 March 1955 principal intelligence agency created to supervise and coordinate all security-related administrative organizations, military agencies and KMT organizations in Taiwan, gathering, International intelligence, Intelligence within the area of People’s Republic of China, Intelligence within the area of Taiwan, Analysis of the nation’s strategic intelligence, , Scientific and technological intelligence and telecommunications security, Control and development of secret codes (the matrix) and facilities, Armed Forces Internet Security while also taking charge of planning special tasks and is responsible for guiding, coordinating, and supporting the intelligence affairs in military and civil categories in addition to managing intelligence relevant to national security, the Nationalist Chinese National Security Bureau, under the control of the post- 20 February 1951 to 16 February 1967 organ of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government directly under the chairmanship of the Nationalist Chinese government's Chairman of the Nationalist Government to advise on issues related to national security, whose members also consist of the Vice President, the Premier, the heads of key ministries, the Chief of the General Staff, the NSC Secretary-General and the Director-General of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese NSB, the Gwokgaon Chyun Wuiyi [National Security Council |Gwokgaon Chyun Wuiyi|], like in OTL.

like the WPK-ruled DPRK in North Korea in OTL, with the Kim family, the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime is a totalitarian dictatorship with a comprehensive cult of personality around the Chiang-Soong family, and Amnesty International considers the country to have the worst human rights record in the world, and officially, the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime like the WPK-ruled DPRK in North Korea in OTL, is an "independent socialist state"[g] which holds democratic elections; however, outside observers have described the elections as unfair, uncompetitive, and pre-determined, in a manner similar to elections in the Soviet Union, and the KMT, like the WPK in the DPRK in OTL, is the ruling party of Nationalist China, and the KMT's Dǎngguó ideology is the official ideology of Nationalist China, like how in OTL, according to Article 3 of the constitution, Kimilsungism–Kimjongilism is the official ideology of the WPK-ruled DPRK, and like the WPK-ruled DPRK in OTL, and the means of production in Nationalist China are owned by the Nationalist Chinese state through state-run enterprises and collectivized farms, and most services—such as healthcare, education, housing, and food production—are subsidized or state-funded, and like the WPK-ruled DPRK in OTL, the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime has nuclear weapons along with other WMDs and constantly threatens the rest of Asia and the West with them.

the post-16 February 1928 to 4 June 1948 supervisory and auditory branch of the government of the KMT-ruled Nationalist China, both during its time in mainland China and Taiwan, which is designed as a hybrid of auditor and ombudsman, with all of its 29 members serving with a term limit of six years, with one member being the President of said organization, and another shall be the Vice President, and all members, including the President and Vice President of said organization, shall be nominated by the President of the Republic and approved by Legislative Yuan, the Control Yuan, the Nationalist Chinese 113 member unilateral legislature whose members are directly elected for four-year terms by the people of Nationalist China through parallel voting which is also responsible for the passage of legislation in Nationalist China, which is then sent to the president [of Nationalist China] for signing and also holds the power to initiate several constitutional processes, including initiating constitutional amendments (then determined by a national referendum), recalls of the Nationalist Chinese president (then determined by a recall vote), and impeachments of the Nationalist Chinese president (then tried by the Constitutional Court), the Legislative Yuan, and may, within ten days following passage by the Legislative Yuan of a no-confidence vote against the Nationalist Chinese head of government and leader of the post-25 October 1928 executive branch of the government of the KMT-ruled Nationalist China headed by said head and includes its Vice Premier in addition to said head, twelve cabinet ministers, various chairpersons of commissions, and five to nine ministers without portfolio, and the Vice Premier, ministers, and chairpersons are appointed by the President of the Republic of China on the recommendation of said head, [the post-25 October 1928 executive branch of the government of the KMT-ruled Nationalist China] the Executive Yuan, the post-29 March 1948, pre-7 June 2005 authoritative legislative body of the KMT-ruled Nationalist China which also elected the President and Vice President of the KMT-ruled Nationalist China under the 1947 Constitution of the Republic of China with the role of the constituent assembly that aimed to amend the country's constitution, the Nationalist Chinese National Assembly, are just tools for the continued "military tutilage' of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese government by the KMT via the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese NRA via Dǎngguó through the National Government of the Republic of China’s Military Affairs Commission like OTL.

the National Government of the Republic of China’s Military Affairs Commission is this timeline's version of post-1963 organ of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) which heads the Korean People's Army (KPA), and one of its primary functions is to authorize defense and munitions spending and product orders, and to determine how natural resources and products from military-controlled production units are earmarked and distributed domestically and for sale abroad, and according to the WPK rules, the organization directs WPK activities in the KPA and is chaired by the WPK General Secretary, and the organization relies on a number of organizations to carry out its mandate, including the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army, the WPK Political-Military Affairs Department, and the WPK Machine-Building Department, and the organization is "the party’s supreme institution on military guidance" and has the authority to "command over the armed forces of the republic", and the rules also state that WPK General Secretary is chairman of the CMC ex officio, [ an post-1963 organ of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) which heads the Korean People's Army (KPA),] the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea (CMC), the Nationalist Chinese National Assembly and the Nationalist Chinese Executive Yuan are this timeline's version of the the highest state institution for military and national defence leadership in North Korea, which also served as the highest governing institution of the country from 1998 until 2016, the National Defence Commission, [the DPRK's National Defence Commission]

Like in OTL, the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Bureau of Investigation and Statistics evolves into the KMT-ruled Nationalist China’s post-1 March 1955 Nationalist Chinese National Security Bureau, under the control of the [National Security Council |Gwokgaon Chyun Wuiyi|], and the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics evolves into the agency of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese responsible for criminal investigation and intelligence gathering, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Justice, and its personnel are classified as judicial police, and whose headquarters is located in Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan, and the bureau has investigation offices and maritime investigation offices in the provinces and municipalities and investigation stations in each county and city. It is responsible for tasks related to maintaining national security and investigating major crimes, and additionally, there are mobile workstations in four regions: northern, central, southern, and eastern, which serve as specialized case-handling units, and its anti-corruption work is similar to that of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Hong Kong) or the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (Singapore), and its anti-drug operations are akin to those of the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration (USA), the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau.

the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, later the Nationalist Chinese National Security Bureau, under the Nationalist Chinese Gwokgaon Chyun Wuiyi is this timeline's equivalent of the post-2009 section of the WPK-ruled DPRK's KPA's General Staff Department, which is a DPRK intelligence agency that manages the state's clandestine operations, and most of their operations have a specific focus on Japan, South Korea, and the United States, which is regarded as the DPRK's primary intelligence and clandestine operations organ, and although its original missions have traditionally focused on clandestine operations such as commando raids, infiltrations and disruptions, the RGB has since come to control most of the known DPRK cyber capabilities, the Reconnaissance General Bureau, the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, later the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau, is this timeline's version of the post-1973 secret police agency of North Korea, which is an autonomous agency of the North Korean government reporting directly to the Supreme Leader, and the agency is reputed to be one of the most brutal secret police forces in the world, and it has been involved in numerous human rights abuses, and is tasked with investigating political and economic crimes in North Korea, especially crimes against the Kim family, and its also tasked with conducting VIP protection duties for North Korean diplomats and employees who work in various North Korean embassies, consulates and other foreign missions abroad, and its addition to its internal security duties, it is involved in the operation of North Korea's concentration camps, prisons and various other hidden activities, and the ministry has been known to link up with various other government ministries and agencies to help them with their various missions, [the post-1973 secret police agency of North Korea] the Ministry of State Security of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,

the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese post- 17 December 1928 national emblem which is the twelve rays of the white Sun representing the twelve months and the twelve traditional Chinese hours (時辰; shíchen), each of which corresponds to two modern hours and symbolizes the spirit of progress, [the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese post- 17 December 1928 national emblem] the Blue Sky with a White Sun [the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese post- 17 December 1928 national emblem |the Blue Sky with a White Sun|] is still the national emblem of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese state, and the KMT’s party flag and thus the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese post-5 May 1921 to 9 December 1928 civil and national flag and the unofficial Taiwanese national ensign after 1947-1949, a horizontal banner with a red field with a blue canton bearing a white disk surrounded by twelve triangles; said symbols [the red field with a blue canton bearing a white disk surrounded by twelve triangles] symbolize the sun and rays of light emanating from it, respectively, the Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth flag, [the KMT's Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth flag] is still the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime's national flag.

the post-1 September 1945 to pre-1 August 1992 Nationalist Chinese secret police and national security body under the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Republic of China Armed Forces which was established at the end of World War II, and operated throughout the Cold War and was responsible for suppressing activities viewed as promoting communism, democracy, and Taiwan independence on Taiwan and the Pengu Islands when they [Taiwan and the Pengu Islands] were [Taiwan and the Pengu Islands] occupied [Taiwan and the Pengu Islands] by KMT-ruled Nationalist China from 1947-1949 to 1988, along with being actively involved in suppression of suspected Communist sympathizers or Taiwan Independence activists, the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Republic of China Armed Forces'/Chinese National Armed Forces' Taiwan Garrison Command, [ the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Republic of China Armed Forces'/Chinese National Armed Forces' Taiwan Garrison Command] would [ the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Republic of China Armed Forces'/Chinese National Armed Forces' Taiwan Garrison Command] instead operate in Hainan Island [still controlled by the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime in this timeline] and [ the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Republic of China Armed Forces'/Chinese National Armed Forces' Taiwan Garrison Command in this timeline] be called the Hainan Garrison Command, as the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime would be stuck in Cantonia and Southern Han China and [the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime] would never get Taiwan and the Pengu Islands from the Japanese in this timeline.

the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese Society of Practice of the Three Principles of the People, the Spirit Encouragement Society (勵志社, SES) and the China Reconstruction Society (中華復興社, CRS), and more infamously, the Blue Shirts Society is this timeline's equivalent of both the post-1946 protective security unit tasked with the protection of North Korea's ruling Kim family, high-ranking Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) officials, and domestic VIPs in the DPRK in North Korea, which falls under the Korean People's Army Ground Force and is divided into approximately six departments, three combat brigades, several bodyguard divisions, and one construction battalion, and the unit is composed of 95,000-120,000 personnel, and bodyguard divisions are divided into at least two sections, Section 1 was dedicated to the protection of Kim Il Sung and Section 2 protected Kim Jong Il, and the Command has camps located throughout the country, usually near official residences, and has a strong presence in Pyongyang. The Command also monitors key military and party figures to ensure the safety of the Kim family, and it also coordinates with the Pyongyang Defense Command (with its 70,000 men)[12] and III Corps (North Korea) for the defense of the capital and other strategic locations, and these other military units provide an additional 95,000-100,000 soldiers, plus artillery and armored vehicles, for the defense of the country's leadership, and recruiters for the Guard look for new recruits in high schools where students are lined up for inspection. Physical prerequisites include no facial scars and a well-proportioned body, and potential candidates have their family histories scrutinized for party loyalty and good "songbun", and once chosen, they are given an ID number while all other records are erased; contact with family is forbidden, and only one member per family is allowed to serve as a bodyguard, and recruits are then taken to special training camps for six months and are trained for a total of two years, and training includes, Taekwondo classes, marksmanship, 25 km marches in full gear and special operations tactics, [ the post-1946 protective security unit tasked with the protection of North Korea's ruling Kim family, high-ranking Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) officials, and domestic VIPs in the DPRK in North Korea] Supreme Guard Command (Korean: 호위사령부; Hanja: 護衛司令部) (also known as Unit 963,[1] the Escort Bureau,[2] Guard Command,[3] Bodyguard Command,[4] SGC, Guard Bureau and the General Guard Bureau[5]), [the DPRK's Supreme Guard Command] and the paramilitary force in North Korea as the largest civil defense force in North Korea, which is organized on a provincial/city/town/village level, and structured on a brigade, battalion, company, and platoon basis. Its strength is estimated at 5 million personnel, and is not only under State Affairs Commission (until 2016 National Defence Commission) and Ministry of Defence control, but is also attached to the Workers' Party of Korea under its Military Leadership Department, and it is thus responsible to the Supreme Leader in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, [the paramilitary force in North Korea as the largest civil defense force in North Korea] the Worker-Peasant Red Guards also translated as Workers and Peasants' Red Militia.

The KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese secret nuclear weapons program under the auspices of the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) at the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology which had been undertaken since 1967 would never be forced to stop in 1977 under the pressure of United States and IAEA in this timeline but would be followed by another hidden agenda, and in 1986, after nearly 20 years of research and simulation testing, a successful minimized nuclear test at the Jioupeng military field in Pingtung was recorded by US satellite imagery; later, in 1988, it was questioned by the director of American Institute in Taiwan, David Dean, according to the diary of Superior-general Hau Pei-tsun like in OTL, and the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime was also able to acquire nuclear technology from abroad (including a research reactor from Canada and low-grade plutonium from the United States) allegedly for a civilian energy system, but in actuality to develop fuel for nuclear weapons like in OTL, like in OTL the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime bought 100 tons of uranium metal from South Africa which was delivered between 1973 and 1974, and also had an active program to produce plutonium using heavy water reactors, like OTL, the Sky Horse ballistic missile system was developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s before a combination of pressure from American President Ronald Reagan and then KGB head turned Soviet dictator, Yuri Andropov and internal competition from anti-ballistic missile development programs ended the program in 1982, and faced with an inability to field their desired delivery system planners turned to alternatives, and the secondary delivery vehicle was the AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo, then in development. Weapons designers at CSIST (now NCSIST) were instructed to design the nuclear weapon to fit within the dimensions of the F-CK-1's centerline drop tank (~50 cm diameter), and modifications to the aircraft would have been required for it to obtain the desired 1,000 km range (especially without the centerline drop tank available), and the F-CK-1 would not have been able to fulfill the nuclear strike mission until mid-1989 at the very earliest, and early designs called for an unpowered gravity bomb.

Ironically in this timeline, the Mongols in Outer Mongolia spend so much time and effort into helping Stalin prop up his [Stalin's] KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese puppet regime in Cantonia and Southern Han China, that they [the Outer Mongolians] wonder why they should continue to be a part of the Soviet bloc or continue dancing to the CPSU's tune at all, this leads to a massive democratic nationalist revolution in outer Mongolia that topples the MPRP-ruled MPR in Outer Mongolia from power in Outer Mongolia and sees the joint restoration of the the spiritual head of the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia, who also simultaneously hasthe title of Bogd Gegeen, making them the top-ranked lama in Mongolia known as the Jebtsundamba Khutuktu[a] or Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche as theocratic sovereign under the title Bogd Khan ["Holy Emperor".]-ruled Great Mongolian State and the side branch of the main branch of the Imperial House of Borjigin known as the Imperial House of Kublai-ruled Northern Yuan in a dual monarchy system when the Jebtsundamba Khutuktus as Bogd Khans simultaneously with the Kublai Emperors as Khans of Outer Mongolia, , the first Jebtsundamba Khutuktu[a] or Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche as Bogd Gegeen to rule over Mongolia as Bogd Khan post-1 March 1921 to 26 November 1924 was the ethnic Tibetian Buddhist Tibetian monl Jampal Namdol Chökyi Gyaltsen, the 9th reincarnation of the Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, the third highest lama in the Tibetan Buddhism hierarchy and the spiritual leader of the Gelug lineage among the Khalkha Mongols, who [Jampal] returned to Mongolia from his [Jampal's] exile in India after the fall of communism in Mongolia [the MPRP-ruled MPR] and [Jampal] reclaimed his [Jampal's] rightful position as Bogd Khan of Mongolia, [Jampal, he 9th reincarnation of the Jebtsundamba Khutuktu as the Bogd Khan of Mongolia] reigning from around 1990 until his [Jampal's] death in 1 March 2012, after Jampal's death, the 10th reincarnation of the Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, the spiritual leader of the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia, who is one of a pair of identical twin boys and was born in Washington D.C. to Khalkha Mongolian parents, thereby giving him American citizenship, and to protect the identity of the 10th Jebtsundamba Khutughtu, the twins, Achildai Altannar and Agudai Altannar, are almost always seen in public together, and the name of the 10th Bogd is given only as A. Altannar; neither the parents, nor the Dalai Lama have stated which child was presented at the March 2023 ceremony, [the 10th Jebtsundamba Khutughtu also known as the 10th Bogd] succeeded him [Jampal] as Bogd Khan of Mongolia, on 23 November 2016, meanwhile the secular Kublai Khans of Outer Mongolia are a composition royal house of the remaining Kublai descendants who became the Sinified Inner Mongolian noble clans surnamed Bao (鲍), who have direct descent from the Borjigin family's side branch of the House of Kublai, who, and after fleeing from rebel armies and dispersing, they changed their names, kept their Mongol identities under wraps and lived as Han subjects under the new Ming regime, and then after the Ming fell, under the Qing, and after the Qing fell, then under the Old Beiyang, then the KMT-ruled Nationalist China, and then the CCP-ruled PRC, and a sinified side branch of the Borjigin family's side branch of the House of Kublai who took up the Han Chinese names of Yu and Jin, and Han Chinese Wang clans from Zhenping County, Xixia County, Wolong District and Xichuan County in Nanyang City, Henan who claim direct descent from one of the lesser known sons of Emperor Huizong of Yuan/Toghon Temür (1320-1370), who [one of the lesser known sons of Emperor Huizong of Yuan/Toghon Temür (1320-1370)] managed [one of the lesser known sons of Emperor Huizong of Yuan/Toghon Temür (1320-1370)] to flee to Henan, after which he [one of the lesser known sons of Emperor Huizong of Yuan/Toghon Temür (1320-1370)] changed his [one of the lesser known sons' of Emperor Huizong of Yuan's] name to Wang Cheng and lived out the rest of his days with a Han identity, this reconstituted Kublai imperial line formed from the Bao, Wang Yu and Jin clans being remerged into the Imperial House of Kublai ruling over Greater Outer Mongolia is known as the Ourd Zugiin Yaduu Ulls [House of the Northern Yuan |Ourd Zugiin Yaduu Ulls|], Outer Mongolia also seizes all of Inner Mongolia [minus Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan regions, and the Russian region of Buryatia, along with the Russian Altai Republic and parts of East Turkestan, Russia's Zabaykalsky Krai, and Russia's Irkutsk Oblast to form a Greater Mongolia, the Japanese of course make this jointly restored the Jebtsundamba Khutuktu[a] or Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche as Bogd Gegeen to rule over Mongolia as Bogd Khan of the Great Mongolian State and Imperial House of Kublai-ruled Great Yuan Empire ruling over Outer Mongolia, all of Inner Mongolia [minus Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan regions, and the Russian region of Buryatia, along with the Altai Republic and parts of East Turkestan into a protectorate [of Japan] and help the Mongols wipe out all influence in Greater Outer Mongolia,

The Mongolian revolution spreads to the Soviet satellite of the Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party-ruled Tuvan's People's Republic occupying Tuva and topples the TPRP-ruled TPR in Tuva, leading to the restoration of Uryankhay Krai/Tagna Urianhai/Tannu Uriankhai as the post-TPRP-ruled TPR Tuvan government, the Japanese of course make the post-TPRP-ruled TPR restored Uryankhay Krai/Tagna Urianhai/Tannu Uriankhai in Tuva into a protectorate [of Japan] as well.

The post-660 BC reigning Japanese imperial family, the main branch of the supposedly Shinto pantheon-descended, Japanese/Manchu/Hànzú warrior family, Shinto priestly family and Japanese noble family of the Minamoto dynasty/Genji dynasty, formally known in Japan as the Imperial House of Great Yamato-ruled Great Japanese Empire survives post-1945 to 1947 into the 21th century and beyond, and [the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato-ruled Great Japanese Empire] also holds on to the Korean peninsula, Taiwan and the Pengu Islands, Sakhalin and the Kurils, Okinawa and Palau, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands as provinces of Japan, post-1945 to 1947 into the 21th century and beyond thanks to no Second Sino-Japanese War of 9 July 1926 – 2 September 1945 between Imperial Japan and the Beiyang Government in Han China, along with the Fengtian Clique in Manchuria, and later on its [Imperial Japan's] protectorates of the Aisin-Gioro-ruled Manchukuo in Manchuria, the side branch of the main branch of the Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Mongolian Autonomous Federation/Mengjiang in Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan provinces, and the Beiyang Government as the First Republic of China as the Japanese protectorate of the collaborations, pan-Asianist, pro-Japanese wing of the KMT-ruled Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China ruled by Dr. Sun Yat-sen's true heir and successor to the position of leader of Nationalist China, Wang Jingwei, as its [the Reorganized National Government's] President, and the USSR, USA, the KMT-ruled Nationalist China under Chiang Kai-shek, the CCP-ruled CSR, and the British Empire, and [the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato-ruled Great Japanese Empire in this timeline] also being under the side branch of the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato that was also a Japanese noble and samurai clan known as the Tokugawa clan-ruled Tokugawa shogunate post-1868, the political event of 3 January 1868-8 November 1867 that restored imperial rule to Japan in 1868 under Minamoto Mutsuhito of the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato, who was the 122nd emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from 1867 until his death in 1912, reigning under the combined era and regal name of Meiji, and although there were ruling emperors before said event, the events restored practical power to, and consolidated the political system under, the Emperor of Japan, and the Restoration led to enormous changes in Japan's political and social structure and spanned both the late Edo period (often called the Bakumatsu) and the beginning of the Meiji era, during which time Japan rapidly industrialised and adopted Western ideas and production methods, [the political event of 3 January 1868-8 November 1867 that restored imperial rule to Japan in 1868 under Emperor Meiji] known as the Meiji Restoration, referred to at the time as the Honorable Restoration,[2] and also known as the Meiji Renovation, Revolution, Regeneration, Reform, or Renewal, [the Meiji Restoration in this timeline] instead being a compromise between Emperor Meiji and the 15th and last shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, who was part of a movement which aimed to reform the aging shogunate, but was ultimately unsuccessful, and resigned his position as shogun in late 1867, while aiming at keeping some political influence, Prince Tokugawa Yoshinobu of the Tokugawa clan, where the Minamoto Emperors would regain political power and national power and also gain the right to select the Japanese prime minister from the winning party of Japan's multiparty, free and fair democratic national elections held via secret ballot through the Japanese Diet, and head the Japanese Armed Forces in addition to being the chief priests of Shinto and Japanese imperial dynastic royal heads of state, while the position of shōgun held by the Tokugawa clan since 1600-1603 would evolve into a combination of the German and Austria-Hungarian Reichkanzlers and the constitutional royal monarchs of Europe, after Yoshinobu's death in 22 November 1913, his [Yoshinobu's] adopted son, Tokugawa Iesato of the Tayasu branch of the Tokugawa clan, [Yoshinobu's adopted son Tokugawa Iesato] succeded him [Yoshinobu] as shōgun of Japan, [Iesato as shōgun of Japan in this timeline] reigning under the Meiji era, the reign of Meji's son and successor as Emperor of Japan, Minamoto Yoshihito, who [Yoshihito] was [Yoshihito] the 123rd emperor of Japan [Yoshihito] according to the traditional order of succession, [Yoshihito as Emperor of Japan] reigning from 1912 until his [Yoshihito's] death in 1926 under the combined regal and era name of Taishō, and then Taishō's son and successor as Emperor of Japan, Minamoto Hirohito, who [Hirohito] was the 124th emperor of Japan [Hirohito] according to the traditional order of succession, [Hirohito as Emperor of Japan reigning] from 25 December 1926 until his [Hirohito's] death in 1989, [Hirohito as Emperor of Japan] reigning under the combined regal and era name of Shōwa, who [Emperor Shōwa] remains Japan's longest-reigning emperor [Shōwa] as well as one of the world's longest-reigning monarchs, and when Iesato dies in June 5, 1940, Tokugawa Iesato's eldest son, Prince Iemasa Tokugawa, [Iemasa] succeeds him [Iesato] as shōgun of Japan, [Iemasa as shōgun of Japan] reigning until his [Iemasa's] death in February 18, 1963, and when he [Iemasa] dies, his [Iemasa's] grandson, [Iemasa's grandson] Tokugawa Tsunenari, [Iemasa's grandson Tokugawa Tsunenari] succeeds him [Iemasa] as shōgun of Japan, [Tsunenari as shōgun of Japan] reigning from 18 February 1963 to 1 January 2023, [Tsunenari's reign as shōgun of Japan] lasting from the end of the Shōwa era and Hirohito's son and [Hirohito's] successor to the role of Emperor of Japan, Minamoto Akihito, [Akihito] who reigned as the 125th emperor of Japan from 1989 until his abdication in 2019 under the combined era and regal name of Heisei, and the end of the Heisei era and the start of the reign of Akihito's son and [Akihito's] successor to the role of Emperor of Japan, Minamoto Naruhito, who acceded to the Chrysanthemum Throne following the abdication of his father, Akihito, on 1 May 2019, beginning the Reiwa era, and is the 126th monarch, according to the traditional order of succession, [Tsunenari as shōgun of Japan] abdicating the role of shōgun of Japan, along with the position of head of the Tokugawa clan, to his [Tsunenari 's] successor as head of the Tokugawa clan in both OTL and this timeline, and successor to the role of shōgun of Japan, Tokugawa Iehiro on 1 January 2023, who [Iehiro] is [Iehiro] the current shōgun of Japan [Iehiro] as of the present day [2025].

thus the so-called "Taishō democracy" of Imperial Japan during the reign of Taishō, and Taishō's son and successor as Emperor of Japan, in which Japanese politics were dominated by the post-June 1, 1927 to pre-August 15, 1940 Japanese political party, that was one of the main political parties in pre-war Empire of Japan, calling for rule by the Diet of Japan rather than bureaucrats, elimination of disparities in wealth, international cooperation, and protection of personal liberties, doing polities of retrenchment of government spending, tightening the money supply and encouraging exports while stabilizing foreign investments through returning to a fixed exchange rate, being a progressive party that respected individual liberty and originality, aiming for freedom and equality, implementing strong 'Parliament-centric politics' through good operation of the universal suffrage.", the Rikken Minseitō [Constitutional Democratic Party |Rikken Minseitō|] that infact continued well into the era of Shōwa, never ends in this timeline as it is never defamed by the Allies or the Soviets in this timeline.

As Japan "demilitarized" in the late 1940s to early 1950s in this timeline and let the post-15 November 1955 major conservative and Japanese nationalist political party in post-WW2 Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party and the post 17-November 1964 to November 7, 1998 political party in post-WW2 Japan which is generally considered as centrist and conservative, the Kōmeitō win the Japanese elections, after the Rikken Minseitō won WW2 for Japan, although the post-1951 Japanese political party and far-right political group with an ideology of Ultraconservatism (Japanese), Anti-communism, Pro-Americanism and Ultranationalism, the Dai Nippon Aikokutō [Greater Japan Patriotic Party |Dai Nippon Aikokutō|] and the major socialist and progressive[3] political party in Japan which existed from 1945 to 1996 with an ideology of Socialism, Progressivism and Pacificism, Nihon Shakai-tō [Japan Socialist Party |Nihon Shakai-tō|] and the Nihon Shakai-tō's successor political party, the post-19 January 1996 political party in Japan which has advocated pacifism and defined itself as a social-democratic party having an ideology of Social democracy, Democratic socialism, Progressivism and Pacifism, the Shakai Minshu-tō [Social Democratic Party |Shakai Minshu-tō], compete for the fringes of Japanese society. and at the far end, the post-1 September 2023 politically conservative,[19] Japanese ultranationalist[8] and right-wing populist[20] political party, which claims to "protect Japan's national polity and traditional culture", and is opposed to immigration, opposed to LGBTQ rights[23] and uses historically revisionist rhetoric, which opposes LGBT rights in Japan,[21][32] immigration,[33] and gender equality, and also supports welfare chauvinism,[35] revising the constitution,[35] and a stronger foreign policy against China and North Korea, the Nippon Hoshutō [Conservative Party of Japan |Nippon Hoshutō|], and the Rikken Minseitō's successor party, the post-3 October 2017 liberal[12] political party in Japan, which is the primary centre-left party in Japan, whose platform supports raising the minimum wage, expanded welfare policies, the legalization of same-sex marriage, increased gender equality,[16] renewable energy policies, decentralization, a multilateral foreign policy, the revision of the U.S.–Japan Status of Forces Agreement, tax reform and electoral reform, and the party itself strongly opposes efforts to amend the Japanese Constitution to reinterpret Article 9 or codify the status of the Japan Self-Defense Forces and also opposes nuclear power, the Rikken-minshutō [Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan |Rikken-minshutō|] compete for the far end of Japanese politics, the Japanese Home Islands [including Sakhalin and the Kurils] and Okinawea both still transform into the post-May 3, 1947 unitary parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy ruled by the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty from the Chrysanthemum Throne in the Kyoto Imperial Palace located in Kamigyō-ku, Kyoto, [the post-November 29, 1890 to May 3, 1947 unitary parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy ruled by the main branch of the the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty from the Chrysanthemum Throne] known [the post-November 29, 1890 to May 3, 1947 unitary parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy ruled by the main branch of the the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty from the Chrysanthemum Throne] as [the name of the post-November 29, 1890 to May 3, 1947 unitary parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy ruled by the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty from the Chrysanthemum Throne] the State of Japan like in OTL, however as Japan won WW2 and is also simultaneously still under the Tokugawa shogunate post-1868 here, this is more of a voluntary choice than anything for Japan, as international observers were complaining that the post-12 October 1940, pre-13 June 1945 Japanese political organization that was the Empire of Japan's ruling political organization during much of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II, which was created by Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe on 12 October 1940, to promote the goals of his Shintaisei ("New Order") movement, which was organized along national syndicalist lines, with new members assigned to branches based on occupation, which would then develop channels for mass participation of the common population to "assist with the Imperial Rule" and evolved into a statist, para-fascist[13] ruling political party which aimed at removing sectionalism and factionalism from politics and economics in the Empire of Japan, creating a totalitarian one-party state in order to maximize the efficiency of Japan's total war effort against China and later the Allies, with an ideology of Statism, Totalitarianism, Japanese ultranationalism and Japanese imperialism, the Taisei Yokusankai [Imperial Rule Assistance Association |Taisei Yokusankai|], and the Japanese political slogan meaning the divine right of the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty-ruled Great Japanese Empire, to "unify the eight corners of the world." which basically stated that the basic aim of the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty-ruled Great Japanese Empire's national policy was "the establishment of world peace in conformity with the very spirit in which our nation was founded." and that the first step was the proclamation of a "new order in East Asia", indicating the making of a universal brotherhood implemented by the uniquely-virtuous Yamato people, Hakkō ichiu [ "eight crown cords, one roof", i.e. "all the world under one roof" |Hakkō ichiu|] [the Taisei Yokusankai] was [the Taisei Yokusankai] dominating too much of Japanese life and politics during the War.

How would this change things in history, how would the CCP-ruled PRC in Northern Han China and the KMT-ruled Nationalist China in Cantonia and Southern Han China be split?

Remember that the Beiyang Government as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu as its reigning imperial family ruling over the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Anhui as well as the two municipalities of Nanjing and Shanghai, along with the Aisin-Gioro Empire of Manchukuo in Manchuria, and the side branch of the main branch of the House of Borjigin-ruled Mengjiang's in Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan provinces are all Japanese puppets and all survived post-1945 to 1947 into the 21th century and beyond in this timeline like Imperial Japan, also remember that Outer Mongolia had a massive democratic nationalist revolution that toppled the rule of the MPRP-ruled MPR in Outer Mongolia and lead to a jointly restored Jebtsundamba Khutuktu[a] or Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche as Bogd Gegeen to rule over Mongolia as Bogd Khan-ruled of the Great Mongolian State and Imperial House of Kublai-ruled Great Yuan Empire ruling over Outer Mongolia, all of Inner Mongolia [minus Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan regions], and the Russian region of Buryatia, along with the Altai Republic and parts of East Turkestan that [the jointly restored Jebtsundamba Khutuktu[a] or Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche as Bogd Gegeen to rule over Mongolia as Bogd Khan-ruled of the Great Mongolian State and Imperial House of Kublai-ruled Great Yuan Empire ruling over Outer Mongolia, all of Inner Mongolia |minus Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan regions|, and the Russian region of Buryatia, along with the Altai Republic and parts of East Turkestan] became a protectorate [the jointly restored Jebtsundamba Khutuktu[a] or Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche as Bogd Gegeen to rule over Mongolia as Bogd Khan-ruled of the Great Mongolian State and Imperial House of Kublai-ruled Great Yuan Empire ruling over Outer Mongolia, all of Inner Mongolia |minus Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan regions|, and the Russian region of Buryatia, along with the Altai Republic and parts of East Turkestan] of Japan, the revolution in Mongolia spread to Tuva, where [Tuva], the TPRP-ruled TPR in Tuva was [the TPRP-ruled TPR in Tuva] toppled and Uryankhay Krai/Tagna Urianhai/Tannu Uriankhai was [Uryankhay Krai/Tagna Urianhai/Tannu Uriankhai] restored [Uryankhay Krai/Tagna Urianhai/Tannu Uriankhai] as the post-TPRP-ruled TPR Tuvan government [Uryankhay Krai/Tagna Urianhai/Tannu Uriankhai], [Tuva after toppling the TPRP-ruled TPR and subsequently restoring Uryankhay Krai/Tagna Urianhai/Tannu Uriankhai] becoming a Japanese protectorate [the post-TPRP-ruled TPR restored Uryankhay Krai/Tagna Urianhai/Tannu Uriankhai ruling over Tuva] as well.

Tibet and East Turkestan, along with Yunnan also become Japanese protectorates as well, the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime claims Yunnan but does nothing more than claim, as Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, Han China along with Imperial Japan all also have strong militaries along with WMDs and are all willing to use them on the Americans, Soviets and KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese.

And why do I have a feeling that the CCP-ruled PRC in Northern Han China would be absorbed into the Beiyang Government as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu as its reigning imperial family ruling over the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Anhui as well as the two municipalities of Nanjing and Shanghai in a slow process starting in the 1950s and ending in 1988, as the people of Northern Han China fear both the Soviets and the KMT more than they fear the Japanese in this timeline, the Nanjing Masscarse/Rape of Nanjing of December 13, 1937-March 28, 1938 in Nanking, Han China in this timeline was committed by forces of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese NRA who were attempting to capture the Empire of China's major city of Nanking to complete the Northern Expedition and then unite Han China under KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese rule in this timeline, which failed, the Beiyang Government's as the Empire of China's ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu's as its reigning imperial family's in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Anhui as well as the two municipalities of Nanjing and Shanghai's Beiyang Army, the Aisin-Gioro Empire of Manchukuo's in Manchuria's Manchukuo Imperial Armed Forces, and the side branch of the main branch of the House of Borjigin-ruled Mengjiang's in Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan provinces' Inner Mongolian Army, aided by defecting NRA units and sympathetic warlords, ran the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese back to Southern Han China and Cantonia, the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime for years attempted to frame the Japanese for causing this timeline's version of Nanjing Masscarse/Rape of Nanjing and idiots in the USSR and the USA believe it, until the Beiyang Government as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu as its reigning imperial family ruling over the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Anhui as well as the two municipalities of Nanjing and Shanghai, sick and tired of being harrassed by communists, [the Beiyang Government as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu as its reigning imperial family ruling over the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Anhui as well as the two municipalities of Nanjing and Shanghai] released government files from its capital of Beijing in the 1970s and 1980s and pressure the Japanese, Inner Mongolians and Manchus into releasing their own government files as well, proving that it was the Nationalist Chinese who were committing atrocities and war crimes in Nanjing/Nanking from December 13, 1937-March 28, 1938 and not the Japanese nor the Beiyang Government's Beiyang Army, this completely shamed and humiliated both the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime along with both the Soviets and Americans and ended the Cold War with the victory of the post-June 29, 1940, pre-1947 pan-Asian union that the Empire of Japan tried to establish, which covered Japan (including annexed Korea), Manchukuo, and China, but as the Pacific War progressed, it also included territories in Southeast Asia and parts of India, whose objectives were to ensure economic self-sufficiency and cooperation among the member states, along with resisting the influence of both Western imperialism and Soviet communism, which had 6 purposes, Permanent stability of Eastern Asia, Neighbourly amity and international justice, Joint defence against communism, Creation of a new culture, Economic cohesion and co-operation and World peace, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere over both the Soviets and the Americans in this timeline,

the current President of the Nationalist Chinese government in 2025, the illegitimate son of Chiang Ching-kuo and his mistress Chang Ya-juo, Chiang Hsiao-yen, or John Chiang, formerly surnamed Chang, who [Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang] succeded Chiang Hsiao-wen as President of the Nationalist Chinese government upon his [Chiang Hsiao-wen's] death in 1994, [Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang] is [Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang] going to [Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang] try to open up the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime to the West and the rest of Asia and the world, while also trying to keep himself and the Chiang-Soong family in power in the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime while also simultaneously modernizing it, Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang as the current President of the Nationalist Chinese government in 2025 in this timeline] being this timeline's version of Kim Il-Sung's son and successor to the leadership of both the WPK and DPRK in real life, Kim Jong-Il with a bit of Kim Jong Il's son and successor to the leadership of both the WPK and DPRK in real life, Kim Jong-Un, chronologically like Kim Jong-Il but politically and socially like Kim Jong-Un, and like Kim Jong Un in real life, Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang has greater visible interest in the welfare of his people and engages in greater interaction with them than his father did, Chiang Hsiao-yen's/John Chiang's son, the part-Hànzú, Cantonese-Hakka politician and lawyer Chiang Wan-an, also known as Wayne Chiang, [Chiang Wan-an/Wayne Chiang] is [Chiang Wan-an/Wayne Chiang] next in line [Chiang Wan-an/Wayne Chiang] to [Chiang Wan-an/Wayne Chiang] succeed Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang as President of the Nationalist Chinese government in this timeline, [Chiang Wan-an/Wayne Chiang] being chronologically like the daughter of North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un and his wife Ri Sol Ju, and the North Korean government has disclosed little information about her and much is unknown about her, including her birth date and name, and the DPRK's state media initially referred to her as Kim Jong Un's "beloved" and "precious" daughter before adopting the adjective "respected", which is typically reserved for the most honoured members of North Korean society, such as Kim Jong Un himself, and whose public presentation is that of a princess and is an attempt by state media to normalise the Kim family's rule "by adopting the trappings of [a] European-style monarchy" and that she has been chosen as her father's successor as supreme leader, which could make her the first woman to serve in the top position, Kim Ju Ae and politically and socially like Kim Jong-Un in real life, in this timeline Chiang Hsiao-yen/John Chiang and his son and successor Chiang Wan-an/Wayne Chiang apologized to Japan for Chiang Kai-shek's actions and refused to support the Russian invasion of Ukraine which caused Putin to go insane, Chiang Wan-an/Wayne Chiang's first child, Chiang Te-li, [Chiang Wan-an/Wayne Chiang's first child, Chiang Te-li] is like a combination of Kim Ju Ae and politically and socially like Kim Jong-Un in real life,


Also, in this timeline the European Axis survived post-1945 to 1949 and managed to hold on to the Balkans, Eastern Europe, the Caucuses, Central Asia, European Russia, Greece, the Balkans, Northern Africa and the Horn of Africa and even managed to grab Sub-Saharan Africa from the Allies thanks to a panicking Nazi German Wehrmacht nuclear tipped ICBM commander nuking Washington D.C, London, Moscow and Los Almanos [where the American nuclear project was] when the Germans began to lose ground in the USSR, this allowed the Axis to finish off Free France, secure Scandinavia and even invade the British Isles, although the British government fled to Canada, and the USSR trapped in Siberia essentially fell apart, the Axis in this timeline forms the EU openly and also forms NATO to protect itself against what is left of the Soviets, Free French and the British, Nazi Germany splits up into a restored German Royal House of Hohenzollern-ruled Kingdom of Prussia-dominated German Empire in the North and a restored Swiss-Austrian Imperial House of Habsburg-Lorraine-ruled Austria-Hungary in the South from the 1950s to 1960s, Germany takes the Baltics, Eastern Europe, the Caucuses and European Russia, along with Occitania in Southern France, the Netherlands, Greater Belgium, Finland and Scandinavia as protectorates, Germany also takes Sub-Saharan Africa from the Allies to form Mittleafrika,  Austria takes Poland and the Balkans, along with Greece as protectorates, Italy under the rule of the Franco-Spanish Italian House of Savoy-ruled, Italian Fascist Party-governed Kingdom of Italy conquers the Horn of Africa and secures Libya, Vichy France moves to Northern France and [Vichy France] also returns to being the French Empire created by Napoleon but ruled by the French cadet branch of the German origin but later Frankized House of Capétiens' [Capet |Capétiens|], the French cadet branch of the German House of Capétiens that [the French cadet branch of the German House of Capétiens] ruled [the French cadet branch of the German House of Capétiens] over France as its [France's] royal family from [when the French cadet branch of the German House of Capétiens ruled over France as the French royal family] 1589-1792 and again from 1814-1830, [the French cadet branch of the German House of Capétiens that ruled over France as the French royal family from 1589-1792 and again from 1814-1830] the French House of Bourbon's side branch of [the French House of Bourbon's side branch] the House of Bourbon-Orléans instead of the French Italian House of Bonaparte as its reigning imperial family,but remains a German puppet, Germany splits the conquered UK into the Kingdoms of Scotland, Wales and England, Germany also restores the Romanovs in European Russia, the Axis takes the role of the US and the West in the real life Cold War but being smarter, more technologically advanced and effective, there is no Zionist movement or communism in Europe as that was wiped out by the Axis after the nuking of Washington D.C, London, Moscow and Los Almanos, the US and Siberian Soviets play the role of the USSR [for the USA] and the KMT-ruled Nationalist China [for the Siberian Soviets] in the OTL Cold War in this timeline, and Canada is this timeline's version of the CCP-ruled PRC, in 1989-1991 the USA collapses just like the USSR in real life, and like the KMT-ruled Nationalist China in real life, the Siberian Soviet Republic is eventually replaced as the government of Siberia by a democratic, multi-party presidential parliamentary republic that is a democratic Republic of Siberia in all but name, but using the Soviet government, military, police force and embassies, the CPSU in Siberia in this timeline, post-1980s, is like the KMT in Taiwan post-1980s in real life, bunch of old foreigners holding on to the past of their host nation who no one gives a crap about locally
