China

China is a large country in Asia.

China in Curious Notions
In the alternate designated as 3477, China was occupied by Germany. Its tremendous size, however, made it nearly impossible to rule to the same extent Germany ruled other countries.

China in Days of Infamy
China was the scene of hard and difficult fighting for the Japanese military. Many of the soldiers who occupied Hawaii had been veterans of fighting China. These veterans found occupying Hawaii to be much easier.

China in In the Presence of Mine Enemies
China was an occupied territory of the Empire of Japan in 2010. It was partitioned by the Japanese with a separate puppet state existing in Manchukuo under an emperor.

China in Southern Victory
China was a minor ally of the Entente during the Great War, even though no fewer than four Entente nations (Britain, France, Russia, and its hereditary enemy Japan) had carved out colonial spheres of influence within Chinese territory.

After the Great War, China's economy had grown so dismal that the worldwide stock market crash of 1929 did not affect it; it had no wealth to lose. Japan also gained much influence in Chinese affairs during this period, and at times even resorted to aerial bombings of Chinese cities.

China in Worldwar
When the Race's Conquest Fleet arrived in 1942, China had been locked with Japan in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Race quickly took control of Chinese territory (and first made the acquaintance of ginger) and would continue to hold it throughout their war with the major Tosevite not-empires. However, administering China proved no easy task, as the Race was constantly resisted both before and after the Peace of Cairo by both the Kuomintang and Mao Tse-Tung's Communist forces (with the support of the Soviet Union as well as the United States.

In 1964 the Race was temporarily expelled from many of China's major cities including Beijing by a coalition of Chinese factions. While this rebellion was eventually put down, a second mainly communist rebellion employed anti-tank and anti-air missiles to drive the Lizards from Beijing and other cities in 1966 and hold them for a longer period of time. Though the Lizards eventually retook the rebel controlled territory, they realized they may have to negotiate with Chinese authorities.
