China

[ ◀ Previous | Next ▶ ]

Overview
People's Republic of China, or China for short, is the most populous country and one of the oldest civilisations in the world, and is one of the superpowers available in the game. To unlock it, you have to win as Russia twice, which is unlocked by winning as USA twice. It also unlocks Hypersonic.

Due to being the most populous nation, it has many big cities (most of them localized in the coastline). The capital city is Beijing, just south of Russia and north of NK

China is the most powerful country in the Asian Continent excluding the transcontinental country of Russia

The Chinese Game
Since China is located near important key points to expansion (right above the connection between Asia and Australia and just below the Asia-America connection), it is in a strategic location. However, there are many enemies dangerously close (Australia, India and Pakistan, Russia, NK and Iran), so you'll have to multitask A LOT. Defending from multiple angles, expanding to important places, researching and building missiles will be your hard work from early to mid game, but if you survive and destroy your neighbours, you'll probably win the game.
