  1. What if Shinzo Abe Survived Assassination and Escaped?

    This is probably political chat, I’ll try to answer carefully to avoid the thread being moved, even though it’ll likely be moved. The impact is minimal. First off, no big change to the upper house election results. The LDP-Komeito alliance was poised to maintain its majority, they may win one...
  2. Peace Without Dignity - The Presidency of Lien Chan (2004-08) and Onwards

    The author has the right to continue or reboot a TL regardless of how many years it is since the last update, so here’s an announcement.

  5. The Death of Russia - TL

    Excellent but horrifying timeline. Considering that I’m now sightseeing near the White Cliff, Dover, I was just sweating a bit when I read through the latest update. There should be sequels to TTL, be there Protect and Survive-esque spin-offs or stories on the nuked non-Russian areas. The total...
  6. How viable would a surviving Manchukuo be

    A communist Manchuria is far more likely than a surviving Japanese Manchuria. And a Japanese Manchuria would eventually be overthrown by Communist insurgency. Would explain in detail later.

  12. A Song was Heard in China - A Different Tiananmen

    Next week. And on the other hand do you think I should create another thread for the reboot and lock this one?
  13. A Song was Heard in China - A Different Tiananmen

  14. A Song was Heard in China - A Different Tiananmen

    After Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, and years of study into and personal interaction with parts of the Chinese dissident community, I’ve come to a very different approach as for what’s likely to happen in democratic China. I would try to be as realistic as possible, and it isn’t that...

    29 Years Later: The Construction of Democracy with Chinese characteristics "As the matter stands, if we look at the surrounding events from here, we can consider three ways to organize a state that we so far knew, as a starting point: the nation state, the liberal state and then the welfare...
