Losses continued to mount after after the fall of Guangzhou, leading to a sharp reduction in the popularity of the Chinese Government and deteriorating morale. American forces continued to push up from Hong Kong and by October 2061 had near total air superiority over the Chinese coast. 
The Chinese military had fought for years on end and had faced victory after victory but after the chinese army was forced out of the United States and had been severely destroyed attempting to retreat from America the U.S. had been able to regroup and launched a full scale invasion of the People's Republic, the PLA were able to defend for months until rebellions sprang up in Inner Mongolia and East Turkestan. A critical turning point was when the Islamic extremist group Al-Nursara crossed into East Turkestan to free the Muslims held in concentration camps by the Chinese Government. Al-Nursara used brutal tactics to wreck havic against the PLA in the area, but the results were successful and by the end of 2060 East Turkestan was under majority Nursara control. Knowing the PLA would mount a counter attack Al-Nursara crossed into Tibet and began attacking and fomenting rebellion there as well before eventually freeing the captured 15th Dalai Lama and restoring him as the sole leader of tibet. 
On October 18, 2061 North Korean leader Kim Jing-Wha, seeing no possibility to drive out the Americans formally surrendered and signed over control of the Nation to the United States. The North Korean military was largely disarmed with several legions being kept to be turned to fight against the Chinese with the promise of food and shelter after the war.
On the 1st of January, 2061 the Chinese government was rapidly collapsing, thousands of Chinese soldiers refused to continue fighting and laid down weapons as Americans advanced, government officials in local province's around the remaining Chinese territory saw the writing on the walls and gave up the war effort with many either resigning, surrendering to the United States or fleeing their positions and going into hiding. 
The communist party assembly were horrified by the defectors and ordered the President to execute warrants for their arrests. The President, Ren Da, knew he would not last longer and thus decided to resign as President on January 10, 2062 and he fled into Manchuria. The assembly would appoint Xing ZhenKang President but by that time the United States had full air superiority and had increased bombing raids over Beijing. Just 10 minuets after taking office the President would nearly be evacuated from Beijing but would be killed in an airstrike while crawling through a tunnel.
Shao Hon Tao would take over as the final leader of China and by that time he would only have command over the city of Beijing and a few other areas.
China would lose soldiers and territory at an astonishing rate as day by day PLA Soldiers would die, flee or desert the army. As American forces pushed on and on the government completely failed to convince the public that the war was winnable, after years of increased suppression of liberties by the Government many people overthrew their local governments before U.S. forces could reach them.
By March the war was all but over, on the 18th of march American soldiers finally broke the line and marched into Beijing. What remained of the PLA were called back to aid in the defense of the city but the Americans were brutal, the Communist Party Assembly were in emergency session when the U.S. broke though and were unable to make escape, so the PLA had them barricaded in and committed to their defense, the American forces saw the opportunity and dropped bombs over the building, completely destroying it, killing most inside. This act severed the head of the Communist Government. The fighting would be fierce and American forces would fight from street to street. On March 20th President Hon Tao would escape using the cities only working airport and he would abandon the city to the Americans, with that the city was under complete American control. 
President Hon Tao would set course for Mongolia to attempt to hide out and stage a resistance but he would never make it, just half an hour after taking off his plane would be shot down by American forces, believing the President had died earlier in the day they were unaware that was his personal place. 
The wreckage would be checked and to the surprise of the soldiers, President Hon Tao had survived the crash, he was arrested and taken into custody.
On March 22, President of the Peoples Republic of China would be brought onboard the U.S.S. Benjamin Wade where he would, as the only surviving high ranking Chinese government official, sign an official surrender. He would declare that the Country of the Peoples Republic of China, established on October 1, 1949 would be dissolved March 22, 2062. With that President Hon Tao officially resigned as President and declared the office extinct, he was then placed back into custody and would await trial.
President Shao Hon Tao would be found guilty of conspiracy to commit genocide by an overwhelming margin and would be hanged on April 31st.
