In TTL, Hanfu movement begins as part of a wider nationalist movement to revive Chinese traditions and culture, damaged by the Cultural Revolution. One Child policy would be seen as a threat to the family traditions, and would of course not be welcomed by ultranationalists.
Hm...If I could peer just that little more behind the curtains...

So I guess ITTL the conception of Chinese nationalism is thoroughly Han nationalist? Or maybe that's a spoiler?
 
So would I.

At least China's going to be better off here...

Can't wait to see how the rest of the world is affected...

Just don't give up on this TL, @Tony...

Tensions in Lhasa as Guo Guan calls for Potala invasion (26th February, 2018)

[Above: Violent protests in Lhasa greeting Prime Minister-designate Guo Quan]​
Violent protests erupt in Lhasa, after Chinese prime minister-designate Guo Quan called for a constitutional amendment to officially include the Potala Palace as part of the Federal Republic of China. At least 7 were killed, including 2 monks and a policeman. Guo was scheduled to go to Lhasa to for a business forum, but Tibetan Sikyong Dadon Dawa Dolma has requested Guo to cancel the trip on security grounds.

The Potala is not a member of the United Nations. According to the Treaty of Ulaanbaatar and the 1991 Constitution of the Federal Republic of China, the Potala Palace is not part of China, and is known to the West as the Tibetan Buddhist version of the Holy See.

US Secretary of State Francis Fukuyama has called on China to respect the sovereignty of the Potala, warning China against any unilateral change of the status quo.
 
Good to see this still alive. I like that you're going into the alternate Sino-Japanese relations and the effects of democracy with nationalist characteristics.

Japan to recall ambassador to China (SET, 27th February, 2018)
PYONGYANG — Japan will recall its ambassador in Beijing after Chinese Foreign Minister and Prime Minister-designate Guo Quan praises the 2010 bombing of the Japanese Embassy in Pyongyang by radical left-wing students during a speech at the Kim Koo University, formerly known as the Kim Il-sung University. Guo Quan also asks Pyongyang to demolish the golden statue of late Japanese Prime Minister Ichiro Ozawa in front of the Kim Koo Square, and accuses Pyongyang of being a puppet of Tokyo for failing to honour the martyrs of the “patriotic self-determination movement” against “Japanese neo-colonialism”.

“Tokyo wants to express its dissatisfaction in this way,” an official close to the Japanese embassy and China’s foreign ministry, who asked not to be named, told SET. “This means a potentially great crisis in relations between the two countries, because as long as the tension does not drop, the ambassador will not return.”

The North Korean prime minister cancels a scheduled meeting with Guo Quan in protest, the ruling Christian Social Democratic Party issued a strong statement condemning Guo Quan’s behavior in Pyongyang. Despite anti-Japanese sentiment due to continuous reports of cheap labour exploitation in the poorest regions by Japanese firms in the early 2000s, Ichiro Ozawa is remembered fondly in the memory of many North Koreans.
