China is a large country located in East Asia. It encompasses the areas modern-day People's Republic of China control, except for Uyghur and the Paracel Islands. It has access to Bohai Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea. It also controls a small navigable section of the Yellow River (which ends at the city of Zhengzhou). Due to the many borders it has, it is advisable to seize the Korean Peninsula and Mongolia early in-game. This will avoid powerful nations such as Japan and Russia from using the Korean Peninsula and Mongolia respectively as a path of invasion into China. Refrain from attacking Southeast Asia early in-game, as its diverse terrain and political status would lead China into an uneasy position, eventually leading to the fall of China.
