China or the Republic of China, is a sovereign state in East Asia and is one of the largest countries in the world. It borders Mongolia and Russia to the north, Afghanistan to the west, Korea and the Pacific Ocean to the east, and India, Nepal, Thailand, Burma, and French Indochina to the south.

History

It was sometime during the outbreak of the Chimeran War, China was overrun by the Chimera when they apparently first invaded the northeast province city of Harbin. In desperation, the Chinese military attempted to stop the Chimeran advance by firebombing several important cities in order to eradicate Chimeran virus-infected civilians, and attempted to contact American military support but were unsuccessful. Eventually the outside world soon lost communication with China afterward. Prior to the events of Operation Overstrike, newspapers in England reported that the city of Nanjing was expected to fall after holding up against the Chimera.

Trivia

• Due to the Resistance timeline is diverged from the real world, the Republic of China likely remains in power rather than the communist People's Republic China as communism never gain international significance due to the failure of the Russian Revolution that was crushed by a Russian Tsarist government. As a result, the Kuomintang managed to dominate China without going into a civil war with the nonexistent Chinese Communist Party.
