China has become the 3rd nation to be a World Superpower, enforcing its influence through its powerful economy, which is richer than America's. They have a Space Agency called the "**China National Space Administration"**, **CNSA** for short. Which has had some controversies over the originality of their Spaceships, which look suspiciously like SpaceX's spaceships. China is also home to the most technologically advanced human genetic modification and facial recognition system, which can detect any face in their system, even those which don't know their face is in the system, such as many Americans, Japanese, and Europeans.

China is a rival to America and is still in the trade war started in 2019 with them. After America would be Japan, due to their increasingly willingness to work with America and Japan's advances in AI, with many potential Japanese Robotic and AI company's becoming increasingly powerful, China fears Japan could be America's step to beating China. Many nations of the world hate them but isn't willing to challenge China's power due to their dependence to China's economy. China is also close friends with Pakistan, with Pakistan supporting China on every move. China (starting in 2027) has hinted to their support of Pakistan's claims on Kashmir. China has helped caused Indonesia to became less stable through the funding of sepreaist groups.

## History

### Civil War and the People's Republic

Before the existence of the People's Republic, the CCP had declared several areas of the country as the Chinese Soviet Republic (Jiangxi Soviet), a predecessor state to the PRC, in November 1931 in Ruijin, Jiangxi. The Jiangxi Soviet was wiped out by the KMT armies in 1934 and was relocated to Yan'an in Shaanxi where the Long March concluded in 1935.[*failed verification*] It would be the base of the communists before major combat in the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949. Afterwards, the CCP gain control of most of mainland China, and the Kuomintang retreating offshore to Taiwan, reducing its territory to only Taiwan, Hainan, and their surrounding islands.

On 1 October 1949, CCP Chairman Mao Zedong formally proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of China at the new nation's founding ceremony and inaugural military parade in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. In 1950, the People's Liberation Army captured Hainan from the ROC and incorporated Tibet. However, remaining Kuomintang forces continued to wage an insurgency in western China throughout the 1950s.

The government consolidated its popularity among the peasants through land reform, which included the execution of between 1 and 2 million landlords. China developed an independent industrial system and its own nuclear weapons. The Chinese population increased from 550 million in 1950 to 900 million in 1974. However, the Great Leap Forward, an idealistic massive reform project, resulted in an estimated 15 to 35 million deaths between 1958 and 1961, mostly from starvation. In 1966, Mao and his allies launched the Cultural Revolution, sparking a decade of political recrimination and social upheaval that lasted until Mao's death in 1976. In October 1971, the PRC replaced the Republic of China in the United Nations, and took its seat as a permanent member of the Security Council.

### Reforms, and 2030

After Mao's death, the Gang of Four was quickly arrested by Hua Guofeng and held responsible for the excesses of the Cultural Revolution. Elder Deng Xiaoping took power in 1978, and instituted significant economic reforms. The CCP loosened governmental control over citizens' personal lives, and the communes were gradually disbanded in favor of working contracted to households. This marked China's transition from a planned economy to a mixed economy with an increasingly open-market environment. China adopted its current constitution on 4 December 1982. In 1989, the suppression of student protests in Tiananmen Square brought condemnations and sanctions against the Chinese government from various foreign countries.

Jiang Zemin, Li Peng and Zhu Rongji led the nation in the 1990s. Under their administration, China's economic performance pulled an estimated[*by whom?*] 150 million peasants out of poverty and sustained an average annual gross domestic product growth rate of 11.2%.[*better source needed*] British Hong Kong and Portuguese Macau returned to China in 1997 and 1999, respectively, as the Hong Kong and Macau special administrative regions under the principle of One country, two systems. The country joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, and maintained its high rate of economic growth under Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao's leadership in the 2000s. However, the growth also severely impacted the country's resources and environment, and caused major social displacement.

Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping has ruled since 2012 and has pursued large-scale efforts to reform China's economy  (which has suffered from structural instabilities and slowing growth), and has also reformed the one-child policy and penal system, as well as instituting a vast anti corruption crackdown. In 2013, China initiated the Belt and Road Initiative, a global infrastructure investment project.

The global COVID-19 pandemic originated in Wuhan and was first identified from an outbreak in December 2019. The Chinese government response has included a zero-COVID strategy, making it one of few countries to pursue this approach. The country's economy continued to broaden recovery from the recession during the pandemic, with stable job creation and record international trade growth, although retail consumption was still slower than predicted.

On 1 July 2021, the People's Republic of China celebrated the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the CCP (first of the Two Centenaries) with a huge gathering in Tiananmen Square and cultural artistic performance in Beijing National Stadium in Beijing.

In 2025, a Space Agency was started.

## Government, Politics

### People's Republic, Government

**The Government of the People's Republic of China** (simplified Chinese: 中华人民共和国政府; traditional Chinese: 中華人民共和國政府; pinyin: *Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó Zhèngfǔ*) is an authoritarian political system under the exclusive political leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It consists of legislative, executive, military, supervisory, judicial, and procuratorial branches.

The National People's Congress (NPC) is the highest state organ, with control over the constitution and basic laws, as well as over the election and supervision of officials of other government organs. The congress meets annually for about two weeks in March to review and approve major new policy directions, laws, the budget, and major personnel changes. The NPC's Standing Committee (NPCSC) is the permanent legislative organ that adopts most national legislation, interprets the constitution and laws, and conducts constitutional reviews. The President acts as a head of state in compliance with decisions made by the NPCSC, but exercises an independent power to nominate the Premier. Elected separately by the NPC, the Vice-president has no power themselves, but assists the President.

## Geography

### Chinese Geopgraphy

Stretching 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) from east to west and 3,400 miles (5,500 kilometers) from north to south, China is a large country with widely varying landscapes. Its territory includes mountains, high plateaus, sandy deserts, and dense forests.

One-third of China's land area is made up of mountains. The tallest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest, sits on the border between China and Nepal.

China has thousands of rivers. The Yangtze and the Yellow Rivers are the most important. At 3,915 miles (6,300 kilometers) long, the Yangtze is the world's third largest river.

## Economy

The People's Republic of China has a developing market-oriented economy that incorporates economic planning through industrial policies and strategic five-year plans. The economy consists of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and mixed-ownership enterprises, as well as a large domestic private sector and openness to foreign businesses in a system officially described as a socialist market economy. State-owned enterprises accounted for over 60% of China's market capitalization in 2019 and generated 40% of China's GDP of US$22.38 trillion dollars (101.36 trillion yuan) in 2020, with domestic and foreign private businesses and investment accounting for the remaining 60%. As of the end of 2019, the total assets of all China's SOEs, including those operating in the financial sector, reached US$**58.97** trillion In 2015`.

Ninety-one (91) of these SOEs belong to the 2020 Fortune Global 500 companies. China has the world's second largest economy when measured by nominal GDP, and the world's largest economy since 2014 when measured by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). It has been the second largest by nominal GDP since 2010, with data relying on fluctuating market exchange rates. It recently overtook the economy of the European Union in 2021. A forecast states that China will become the world's largest economy in nominal GDP by 2028. Historically, China was one of the world's foremost economic powers for most of the two millennia from the 1st until the 19th century.

## Military

The **People's Liberation Army** (**PLA**) is the principal military force of the People's Republic of China and the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The PLA consists of five service branches: the Ground Force, Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, and Strategic Support Force. It is under the leadership of the Central Military Commission (CMC) with its chairman as commander-in-chief.

The PLA can trace its origins during the republican era to the left-wing units of the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) of the Kuomintang (KMT) when they broke away on 1 August 1927 in an uprising against the nationalist government as the Chinese Red Army before being reintegrated into the NRA as units of New Fourth Army and Eighth Route Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The two NRA communist units were reconstituted into the PLA on 10 October 1947.

A majority of military units around the country are assigned to one of five theater commands by geographical location. The PLA is the world's largest military force (not including paramilitary or reserve forces) and constitutes the second largest defense budget in the world. It is also one of the fastest modernizing militaries in the world, and has been termed as a potential military superpower, with significant regional defense and rising global power projection capabilities.

## Space Colonies

### Martian

#### Xiqiang

launched in 2028, This Colony closely looks like a SpaceX colony, except With Chinese Flags, and everything is owned by the CCP. The colony's conditions are not great, being cramped with 1,000 people (Scientists, Mechanics, 2nd class citizens and military police). The Colony is three buildings, one for the lesser humans, and some Police, the other one for the scientists and mechanics, with the third one for mining operations, however it is unknown who works these.

#### Xiao Guanyu

landed in 2039, Xiao (as it's commonly shortened by non-Chinese speakers) is a huge mining colony founded by China, with over 5,000 people cramped inside, 4,300 of them mine their (assumably forced, with most being Uyghur Muslims and the rest Christan's) for 10 hours a day. the rest are military personnel, mechanics, and scientists. It is sometimes called the "**Martian Hellhole**".

### Lunar Slingshot

A colony first made by SpaceX, It used to be a major American pitstop onto Mars, however China wanted this slingshot, even warning Musk to allow them to use it or face the consequences, which Musk didn't allow due to their polices, so China took it through a terrorist attack. When China committed the Lunar Terrorist Attack, they gave Meta money to make the political backlash lest extreme. Meta at first tried to hide it from its userbase, however this didn't work well. So, they instead went on to making it seem that SpaceX's Lunar Slingshot their started the attack, using many fake news tactics with it. They specifically made it look like SpaceX workers on sight were not going to let the Chinese soldiers in, after they "presumably" crash-landed from their space shuttle which was heading to Xiao Guanyu. So, the Chinese soldiers were forced to take the station to survive. This false narrative is still believed by some people even today. Today the station now hosts over 500 Chinese workers and soldiers, who were forcefully relocated.

#### Tonghua-LM

launched in 6 separate spaceships, Tonghua-LM is a military base by China, launched in 2038. The LM stands for Lunar Militia (roughly translated from Chinese) and is very secretive. It does however show videos of some of the new space weaponry being devolved. Tonghua-LM has escalated the space-race and tensions back on Earth. It has caused some UN laws to be re-written.
