' Wrote:Everyone seems to think that the People's Republic of China was in the Coalition, but I have found no evidence to support this. Yes, right now it is communist, but by the year 2160, they could've had a revolution and established democracy and capitalism. Judging by news reports in the game and the accents and names of the Coalition pilots/ships, we can easily say Russia, the Middle East, and North Korea (I swear, I heard someone say "We got Koreans incoming!") were in the Coalition. However, no one has a Chinese accent or Chinese names. The only thing that seems to point to China is the dragon in the Coalition symbol and a squadron called the Golden Warriors with some guy named Red Dragon as the squadron leader. However, dragons are in every culture, so China may not be in the Coalition.
Also, remember the big TV in the ANS Yamato briefing room? Despite being a Japanese ship, there was Chinese (yes, Chinese) writing on the sides of the TV. Therefore, I am starting to think that China had become democratic/capitalist and joined Japan in the Alliance.
There isn't any mention of China specifically in the game, but if you look at the info for the Coalition squad "Golden Warriors" you can see that they are from the East Asian fleet, there is also mention of an Eastern Republic and one other nation I don't recognize.
And as per the Chinese writing on the Yamato, that was probably a mix up on Digital Anvils part, after all it was made by a bunch of westerner Americans and most westerners that don't speak the language can't tell one Asian dialect from the other. I know I can't.
There is also nothing to suggest that China joined the Alliance either, hell China might even be a non-factor in all of this that never got off the ground for all we know.

Aha, so that's where you find it. I didn't know that you could read info on the Coalition squadrons in the Alliance database. Apparently, the Eastern Republic is Russia, East Asia is China, and the Tigris Confederation (the one you didn't recognize) is the Middle East, with the leading nation probably being Iraq because the Tigris River is a river in Iraq.
As for the Chinese writing...I finally figured it out: Taiwan (AKA the Republic of China...or what's left of them after the Chinese Civil War). Judging by Taiwan's anti-communist stance, they probably joined the Alliance.
And judging by Yue Fei's Coalition character, we can see China indeed was part of the Coalition and managed to pursue the Alliance to Sirius.
