Quick update on the Chinese situation, I have a prototype NS in the works. I have a very brief overview I can share and receive feedback on: 

After the defeat to Meiji Japan and the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese were left without a real ruler or a government strong enough to take charge. Step forward one Liu Xan-Tseng, a Chinese politician who served as ambassador to Eisenkreis-Kzechverin, who had been exposed to European ideas and ideals and thusly decided to modernise Chinese government and form a Republic of China. It was clear Imperial government was not working, particularly with the loss of Manchuria and national pride following the Sino-Japanese War. China was no longer an Empire, but a Republic, with a Chamber of Deputies elected by the people of the provinces. However, Tseng's reforms have encountered difficulties and opposition, and a bitter China still reels from the Japanese disaster, whilst it struggles to industrialise and modernise after centuries of neglect and inefficiency. Can the Tseng government unify China under republican rule, or will Imperialist reactionaries restore the imperial throne? Can China industrialise and become a world power? And can China restore relations with it's neighbours, and further afield, the European powers?

The fate of the Chinese republican experiment is uncertain.
