diplomacy with Japan, overall, the club's policy to Japan was largely friendly, but with the knowledge that Japan did not have the best interests of both China and the Beiyang Government in mind, not

descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu being the Empire of China's reigning imperial family instead of Yuan Shikai using the transformation of the Empire of China to declare himself Emperor of Han China in this timeline prevents the 1916-1928 modern warlord era of Chinese history that occurred after Shikai dissolved the Empire of China and died soon after in this timeline due to the desire of the Chinese people to have a restored Ming dynasty as the government of a post-Qing China, the Anhui Clique staying within the main branch of the Beiyang Government ruling over Han China after the main branch of the Beiyang Government ruling over Han China transitions from the first Republic of China to the Empire of China unlike real life, the Empire of China in this timeline being ruled by the descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu in this timeline, thus fulfilling the goal of the Xinhai Revolution, and the Empire of China being confined to the sixteen provinces of Han excluding Guangdong, Guangxi and also not having Manchuria, East Turkestan, Tibet, Tuva, Inner and Outer Mongolia and Yunnan or the Qing stronghold and homebase of Manchuria in this timeline, Nationalist China eventually evolving into an independent Cantonese Republic due to Yat-sen's earlier death allowing the post-1912, pre-1920 pro-Cantonese independence, pro-Cantonese nationalist Nationalist Government faction/Chinese warlord clique/Chinese military junta of the Old Guangxi Clique to take over Nationalist China and redirect Nationalist Chinese efforts from conquering Han China Manchuria, East Turkestan, Tibet, Tuva, Inner and Outer Mongolia, Manchuria and Yunnan into building a united Cantonese identity, thus ensuring that the 9 July 1926 – 29 December 1928 military expedition launched by Nationalist China to conquer Han China and Manchuria from Guangdong and Guangxi known as the Northern Expedition never happens, thus preventing the 1928-1947 Second Sino-Japanese War between Imperial Japan, post-Qing, post-Xinhai independent Manchuria, the Beiyang Government as the first Republic of China post-1916, the post-1912, pre-1947 Nationalist Chinese government faction/Chinese warlord clique/Chinese military junta of the Yunnan Clique and the Chinese warlords against Nationalist China, Nationalist China's puppet master of the USSR and the USSR's ally of the USA from ever happening due to Sun Yat-sen's more famous student turned revolutionary before and during the Xinhai Revolution and corrupt politician and warlord after the Xinhai Revolution, the Cantonese minor nobleman Chiang Kai-shek, being killed by the Triads when he tries to launch the Northern Expedition, even though the Hui Muslims primarily located in northern Han China's Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia provinces, having supported the Ming during its initial existence and even leading anti-Qing resistance movements, eventually become a major force in the Empire of China with the descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu being its reigning imperial family and covertly and then openly take over the government of the Empire of China with the descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu being its reigning imperial family, transforming the Empire of China with the descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu being its reigning imperial family into a Islamic Sultanate in the line of the Ottoman Empire or the Arab monarchies, mass converting the Cantonese and Han Chinese in the sixteen provinces to Sunni Islam and making Islam the dominant religion of the Empire of China with the descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu being its reigning imperial family and even forcing the descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu reigning over the Empire of China as its reigning imperial family to openly reconvert to Sunni Islam in public, preventing China from entering WW1 on the side of the Entente along with Imperial Japan, although due to Nationalist China remaining contained in Guangdong and Guangxi and the Northern Expedition never happening, which means the Beiyang Government survives post-1928 into the rest of the 20th century into the 21th century and beyond and Imperial Japan also survives post-1947 into the rest of the 20th century into the 21th century and beyond due to the Second Sino-Japanese War of course never happening and Japan thus never loses Sahlakin and the Kurils [Karufuto], the entire Korean peninsula [Chōsen] and Formosa [Taiwan and the Pengu Islands] along with Palau, the Carolinas and the Marianas due to the Northern Expedition and the Second-Sino Japanese War and Karufuto, Chōsen and Formosa remain Japanese provinces post-1947 into the rest of the 20th century into the 21th century and indefinately, [Yuan Shikai never using the transition of the Beiyang Government from the first Republic of China to the Empire of China to declare himself Emperor with Chongzhen's and Yongli's descendants instead becoming the Empire of China's reigning imperial family] freeing Central Powers resources, with the capture of Paris and Ireland being in rebellion against the British Empire, with all of Ireland being free from British tyranny and practically independent at this point, forced the British Labor Party to storm Downing Street with the help of the British people and force the Tory controlled British government to an armistice with the Central Powers in 1918, ending WW1 with a Central Powers victory as the Wilson regime in the USA collapses from a series of impeachments and civil rights strikes, ending fascism in the USA and containing fascism to the Kingdom of Italy and the Third French Republic and subsequently preventing the rise of the paramilitary, Zionist, anti-Catholic, religious fundamentalist theocratic, pro-civil rights, anti-Jim Crow right-wing centered around the Republican Party in the USA, preventing the Democrats from having a boogeyman they can use to distract the American public from the evils of Jim Crow and US segregation as the USA transitions towards a multi-party system after the fall of the Wilson regime.

The  British also give up colonial control of the Albanian Alawiyya dynasty-ruled unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy of the Kingdom of Egypt in Egypt and the Sudan, with the Kingdom of Egypt becoming an Ottoman protectorate once more.

The Tsardom of Bulgaria  receives the Moesia plain between the Danube and the Balkan mountains range (Stara Planina), Thrace from Greece and Macedonia from Serbia, forming Greater Bulgaria.

The Austria-Hungarian Empire makes the Kingdom of Montenegro into an Austrian protectorate and forces the Kingdom of Serbia to admit to its [Serbia's] guilt in [Serbia] starting WW1 by [Serbia] having the heir to the Austria-Hungarian throne, Franz Ferdinand, killed and [Austria-Hungary] also topples the House of Karađorđević from power in Serbia, [Austria-Hungary] restoring the pre- House of Karađorđević Serbian ruling family, the  Serbian House of Obrenović to power in Serbia, thus making the Kingdom of Serbia an Austrian protectorate once more.

The Ming dynasty being restored in Han China through the formation of the Empire of China with Chongzhen's and Yongli's descendants as its reigning imperial family  prevents the 1928-1947 Second Sino-Japanese War between Japan, Manchukuo, Mengjiang, the Beiyang Government, the Yunnan Clique, Nationalist China, the USSR and the USA before it even starts, and thus Imperial Japan survives past 1947 into the 21th century and beyond indefinitely, meaning that Japan never loses the Korean peninsula, Taiwan and the Pengu Islands and Sakhalin and the Kurils as provinces post-1947 and also keeps Palau, the Carolinas and the Marinas as well into the 21th century and beyond indefinitely.
