So, the Chinese Civil War ended with a bunch of lesser-known ultranationalist Generals taking control of the country. They believed that the entire world was out to destroy and conquer China, and thus the only way for China to survive was to destroy and conquer them first (Sound familiar?). To that end they began makings plans to remove all enemies, be they internal and external. After A4 intervention in the Korean War they realized that they couldn’t just nuke their foes into submission, so they began working on Unit 741-style bioweapona. The current rulers of the Cabal have plans to unleash an ethnically-targeted disease on the world that will kill everyone not ethnically Han Chinese, after which they’ll sweep in and conquer the world. Their nation is suffering from a massive overpopulation crisis (gotta have plenty of colonialists once you clear out the world, after all), meaning their nation is something of a basket case that might come apart at the seams if the Cabal isn’t careful.
It's even terrifying to begin with. These lesser-known generals (who are obscure figures in OTL) makes the Chiang Kai Shek and Mao Zedong dictatorship look tame in comparison. The Cabal continues to hold the view that China is the Middle Kingdom and it should take its rightful place in the world as the leading superpower. But unlike all Chinas of OTL (Warring states, Qing, ROC, and the current PRC) which only want China to be the sole superpower, here the Cabal have a delusional megalomaniac view to conquer all seven corners of the planet with Han Chinese citizens. Whereas the Nazis of OTL and TTL only planned for Generalplan Ost to resettle the "Aryans" in Eastern Europe, the Cabal wants the whole world.
These insane leaders are playing with fire. Remember the A4/Allies/UN had no qualms wiping out Stettin from the map. At some point, India even split its alliance with the Cabal after finding out of that biological weapon meant to wipe out anyone Han Chinese.
The Cabal would be hit with several nukes and orbital kinetic bombardment weapons.
What the actual fuck is this ?
I thought this was the Android from command & conquer series...
I mean the Android and this States goals are the same too...
But really WTF that's some intresting distopic world building
Case in point,
@CalBear himself has described the Cabal as some group that makes the Kim Dynasty in the DPRK look so tame. Whereas the Kim Dynasty have resorted to isolationism and massive authoritarian measure to keep their power in check, it has no delusions of conquering the world (sorry, the game
Homefront isn't realistic at all).
The rule of Cabal China is a mix of North Korea with the revanchist and chauvinist policy of Han Chinese nationalism that would make it akin to Nazi Germany.
How would anime and manga would be like in this world?
Chinese comics probably never got started due to political and social reasons...
Koreans ones are the best I am hoping for but still what sort of reading and watching material will we be getting from these 3 countries?
Japan surrendered on November 11, 1946 after constant firebombing and naval blockade. I'd assume it would still develop but perhaps delayed by a decade or two since Japan was damaged from the firebombings and naval bombardment.
Chinese comics and media isn't exported. This China is nowhere near the authoritarian but state capitalist with Chinese characteristics PRC of OTL.
Yeah, I guess ATL versions of Kpop and Manwhas are more famous that J-pop, anime, and mangas for this TL.
