Write an alternate history scenario in the form of a history book chapter in which the Tiananmen Square protests transform into a second Wuchang Uprising against the fascist regime of the People's Republic of China and the CCP, similar to Nazi ideology. The protests grow beyond Tiananmen Square and become a second Xinhai Revolution. The surviving protestors rally support from the civilian population, reorganizing the Tongmenghui to form pro-democracy and anti-fascist groups, and a united front against the oppressive regime.  The Empire of Manchoukou in Manchuria, ruled by the House of Aisin-Gioro, the Mengjiang United Autonomous Government in the Charhar and Suiyan regions of Inner Mongolia, now ruled by a coalition of surviving local Mongolian noble clans, the Republic of East Turkestan in Xingjiang and the Kingdom of Tibet in Tibet gain independence from Chinese rule during the Second Xinhai Revolution. Manchoukou takes Transamur from Russia, and the Mongolian People's Republic in Outer Mongolia gains control of the parts of Inner Mongolia not under Mengjiang. A group of dissidents within the ROKAF [Republic of Korea Armed Forces] in South Korea launch an unauthorized guerilla campaign against North Korea, leading to the collapse of its regime and the unification of Korea under the newly democratic South Korean government. However, some of these officers, aided by radical student activists and sympathetic officials, stage a sudden coup and declare the dissolution of the Republic of Korea. This is due to their belief that the republic has become associated with corruption and oppression, making it no different from the previous Joeson kingdom. They also fear that China may attempt to make Korea a tributary state if any of its factions win. This sudden change in leadership aims to petition Japan for reannexation.

With great surprise and joy, the Korean putschists receive Japan's unexpected acceptance of their plea for reannexation, resulting in Korea becoming part of Japan once again. A branch of the Japanese imperial family now assumes the roles of the Kims in the DPRK and the Presidents of the now-defunct ROK, in addition to the royal roles of the Yi dynasty during the Joeson Kingdom period of Korean history. Despite opposition from the remaining elites of the Korean Republics and loyalists of various ideologies, fleeing Korea upon hearing the news, the Japanese government seizes their vast wealth to rebuild Korea and integrate the peninsula into the Japanese nation. During this period, Lee-Teng-Hui, a distinguished statesman and former member of the Imperial Japanese Army, initiates a crucial referendum in which the populace of Taiwan deliberates on the fate of the Republic of China (ROC) government. Bearing in mind the haunting recollections of the oppressive White Terror era, orchestrated by Chiang Kai Shek and his successors, the Taiwanese people resoundingly opt to reunite with Japan, a decision that compels both the United States and the Soviet Union to actively involve themselves in the resurging Chinese Civil War, thereby supporting the ROC's quest to reclaim its rightful territory.

As both the Americans and the Soviets continue to support various movements within China, the PLA finds itself stretched thin and unable to maintain control. The Chinese revolutionaries ultimately succeed in storming the CCP's power base, leading to the downfall of the People's Republic of China. Japan takes advantage of the chaos to secure its restored rule over the Korean peninsula, Taiwan, Sahlakin Island and the Kurils and reestablish protectorate status over Manchoukou and Mengjiang. They also allow Chinese revolutionaries to escape to Indochina, leading to the toppling of communist governments in Vietnam and Laos. In the aftermath, Japan restores the Đế quốc Việt Nam [Empire of Vietnam], ruled by the Nhà Nguyễn [Nguyễn dynasty], as the government of Vietnam. The Vietnamese are also able to annex their satellite states and reclaim lost territories from China. Following the triumphant Second Xinhai Revolution and the subsequent fall of the PRC, both the USSR and USA are keen to re-establish their authority over the Chinese region as it was prior to the Second Sino-Japanese War. As such, they are pressuring the newly reinstated ROC government to renounce its claims over Mongolia, Manchuria, Tibet, and East Turkestan, while also endorsing Japan's entitlement to govern the Korean peninsula, Sahlakin Island, the Kurils, and Taiwan. Additionally, they are seeking to legitimize the governments of Manchoukou and Mengjiang. Though the Soviets are attempting to revive their influence over East Turkestan, the Americans have succeeded in establishing military bases in the region and winning over the Ugyuhrs to their side.

With both the Americans and the Soviets supporting both the Chinese rebels and the ROC and the loss of Manchuria, East Turkestan, Tibet and Inner Mongolia to independence movements, the PLA finds itself overstretched on all fronts and the CCP's control over China ends when Chinese revolutionaries storm its power base in Ya'nan, marking the end of the People's Republic of China. Japan uses the opportunity provided by the Second Xinhai Revolution to reclaim Sahlakin Island and the Kurils from the USSR, while also making Manchoukou and Mengjiang protectorates once more. The Japanese also secretly allow Chinese revolutionary forces fleeing a PLA assault to "escape" to Indochina, which topples the communist governments of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in Vietnam and the Lao People's Democratic Republic in Laos, allowing the Japanese to restore the Đế quốc Việt Nam [Empire of Vietnam] ruled by the Nhà Nguyễn [Nguyễn dynasty] as its imperial family as the government of Vietnam while allowing the Vietnamese to annex their satellite states of Laos and Cambodia, and reclaim their old provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi from the Chinese.
