Greater Cantonia: The Divide of the Four Independence Yue Cantonese Countries

The Four Independent Strong States.PNG

This is my second Inkscape map.
In 1930, the provincial government of Guangdong declared as independent nation. Twelve years earlier, the British colonial empire annexed another parts of the lands at the north of the Northwest Territories: Shenzhen region and Dongguan region. The British Hong Kong government annexed a massive amounts of lands that need for the further developments of the building irrigation and farming properties and expanding the building of the industries at Dongguan.
In 1949, as the Communists Army under Mao Zedong start to conquered much of the Mainland China, the Cantonian (Guangdong) government decided not to pledged the transfer the new relationship from the ROC government to the PRC government. On October 3, 1949, as the Communists plan the invasion of the Republic of Cantonia, Mao Zedong ordered the Communist Army Divisions to halt the advance of the major invasion campaign due to the rugged terrains around the mountains making them difficult for the artillery weapons and tanks to bypass the mountain with difficult obstacles. This saved the Republic of Cantonia permanently.
In 1951, the Taiwan Nationalists government negotiated with the Cantonian government and the American government to allow the military troops and the civilians to move to relocated to Leizhou Peninsula. This would meant the Cantonian government voluntarily agreed to allow Leizhou Peninsula to be ceded to Republic of China. The British and French opposed Leizhou Peninsula to be handed back to ROC, signifying the major conflicts of the attempts for the PLA Army to secretly sneaking in Cantonia regions to invade Leizhou Peninsula. But the Americans and Koreans side believed the justification of the ROC military protection at Leizhou Peninsula to prevent the PLA Army invading Western Guangdong as a part of the ally to make sure the stability of the social and economic life within the border regions. On July 1952, Cantonian President Lai Fu Yan signed the treaty declaration agreement at Taipei when meeting with President Chiang kai-shek accepting the demands of Leizhou Peninsula to return to Republic of China, On September 1953, two months after the end of the Korean War that end up the armistice agreement, Leizhou Peninsula was officially ceded to Republic of China (Taiwan), stationing about 40,000 Nationalists soldiers there to protect against communists invasion.
Since the PLA Army under Mao Zedong didn't invade Republic of Cantonia (Guangdong), the communists wouldn't have a naval invasion to occupy Wanshan Archipelago, thus keeping most of the islands at Wanshan Archipelago under the Cantonian Navy.
In early 1968, during the heighten of the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards were uncontrollable on respecting the frontier border between Cantonia and PRC that need the major land expansion to purged the local political leaders, head of villagers, and the capitalists at the northern Cantonian border regions. Numerous PLA border guards and PLA Army tried to stop the Red Guards from approaching outside of the Mainland China near the unguarded frontier border and road border control point, but the massive numbers of Red Guards ordered the PLA Army to attack the low numbers of Cantonian border guards at border districts at Shaoguan, Meizhou, Chaozhou. Within two months, the Cantonian federal government and the Secretary of Defense lost the patience control on the Cantonian Army to push the Red Guards and the PLA Army back to the Mainland China, leaving the major chaos on the tens of thousands of local insurgents to attempt to occupy the three main cities. The local Cantonian enemy insurgents launched sometimes successful massive harassment military attacks to the Cantonian regiments to tied down the villages and towns at the border provinces. The French diplomats make an effort to Chairman Mao to settled the diplomatic negotiation as third party to withdraw most of the Red Guards and PLA Army back to the Mainland China over the dissatisfaction of the Chinese military leadership refusing for Cantonia neutrality. Mao refused for the French's demands, wanting not just gaining the lands indefinitely but the military occupation for temporarily 2-5 years for the Red Guards and communist cadres to entertain the new brutal communist regime on the important for the opposition of capitalism and bring the areas of education, art, and literature within communists Chinese ideology at three regions. By early July 1968, the last city Jieyang has fallen to the communists after holding out the long resistance. The four cities-Chaozhou, Jieyang, Meizhou, and Shaoguan-are under Mao's communists control, after a long resistance from communists attacks. By late July 1968, Mao ordered PLA Army not to advance further south and west at all directions and settle for the armistice. On July 31, 1968, Cantonian President Chu Man Ling resigned, signifying the failure of the morale of the fresh Cantonian Army division to impede the communists army takeover of weaker cities. The interim Cantonian President offered to end the combat and offer for the armistice ceasefire, re-establishing the new border.
Prior to Cantonian President Chu admitted the militaristic defeats, the U.N military troops arrive at northern Cantonian regions, along the Chaoshan region at Shantou to set up the protection of the villagers and towns to prevent more communists from easily taking over entirely. The U.N military general attempted to save Jieyang, but due to the Red Guards and PLA Army almost encircling the major siege at Jieyang, the general and the commanders decided to protect at Shantou. It would takes many years before Deng Xiaoping, who is known for the modernization capitalism reform, apologizes for the PLA Army invasion and a major promises for all border provinces to returned to Cantonia in the future. Its first step was the city of Jieyang to be ceded to Cantonia in 1984 under the international mediators with France, Britain, and India to return for the peace and maintain tranquility. Despite Deng promises for the remaining three border regions to return back to Cantonia by 1988, several residents from Chaozhou, Shaoguan, and Meizhou refused to be reunited back to democratic Cantonia nation, saying the major concerned of the negativity assimilating of Cantonese language and the need for the practices of following Deng's Chinese economic capitalism rather than hard ways Cantonian capitalism. This kept Chaozhou, Shaoguan, and Meizhou to remain Mainland China as of 2020.
Part 2 Later
 
Taking a break from more typing based on alternate history timeline, I want to assured about the Democracy Index rank in 2020.
In the Dominion of Hong Kong, the 2019 Federal Election saw a historical moments on the first female Chief Executive. On March 23, 2019, Gwyneth Ho, a Pro-Democracy Group and a Democratic Party, won the Chief Executive Election and became the first female Chief Executive on July 1, 2019. This led to the major increase rank of the Democracy Index from 30th to 19th rank at 8.14. Basically, the chronological orders of the Democracy Index would be Spain at 18th rank, Hong Kong at 19th rank, and Costa Rica at 20th rank.
On the other hand, the three Yue Canton countries struggled to reach the top of the goal to the full democracy due to the voting disputes of the rewritten laws and the small conflicted controversial situation on civil liberties. For instance. the Republic of Cantonia Democracy Index is at 0.765, a small number increases due to the revisiting the needs to serve civil liberties.
 
History of Cantonia After 1968
The capital of Gwong Chau flourished significantly by developing and constructing a tall buildings for the business and finance corporations next to the old small buildings. Democratization political reforms start to slowly arose sometimes in early 1970s by expanding the number of cabinet members from 2-3 different political parties. The Gwong Chau government still maintained the strong bilateral relationship with Taiwan (Republic of China) after 1971 thanks to the absence of the UN Resolution 2758. Britain and the U.S send the trade for the imported tons of the military supplies to Cantonia to prevent the communism domino effects. Britain and U.S also sometimes participate the occasional military drills outside of Gwong Chau to trained them for the better military intelligence. Without the UN Resolution 2758, the U.N recognized Taiwan (ROC) until the further future on another resolution. The national government maintain the civil liberties on strong constitutional freedom of speech, assembly, and expression, though the civil liberties occasionally minimal restricted due to the strict laws on banning the major assembly on pro-communism and the various potential hate speeches. The Gwong Chau government enacted a heavy sedition acts to stop or impede the new political extremist reforms on Mao's communism. Even after the armistice signed to temporarily end the offensive campaign, the Cantonian government still haven't establish open relationship with People's Republic of China because of the differences on the government ideology and the strong opposition on the language reforms to add Mandarin language. The Cantonian government has no interested to make the simplified Chinese characters, thus retaining the main popularity traditional Cantonian Chinese characters. (Notice the writing system between Hong Kong and Cantonian are slightly differences on grammars and colloquial phrases though both continue to use Traditional characters.)
 
Hong Kong and fate of Dongguan
In 1980s, Hong Kong saw the abundance success of the movie industry and the harmonious Hong Kong Canto-pops. Hong Kong movie stars sometimes filmed at Gwong Chau to earn higher income for the new movies.
In 1982, British government allows Dongguan residents to have a referendum to decide whether to stay Hong Kong or join Gwong Tung after the massive movements on demonstration and rallies thinking many people chose for the fate on cultural and society. On September 18, 1982, the referendum resulted 73% of the Dongguan residents chose to join Gwong Tung, while 27% of Dongguan residents want to remain Hong Kong. On the early morning of September 19, 1982, hundreds of thousands of Gwong Chau people celebrate wildly at the streets to win the determination of Dongguan referendum to have the city of Dongguan to return to Gwong Tung. Dung Guin (Dongguan) relied on the economic assistance of the major boomtown to be closer with Gwong Chau government to have some tax breaks. On July 15, 1984, Dung Guin was join with the country of Gwong Tung.
 
Despite the city of Dung Guin returned to Gwong Dung country, the British government hopefully maintains to keep the promises for the joint declaration to allow Hong Kong to be independent country. The government of Gwong Chau let them allow Hong Kong to be as prosperous independent country to maintain the post-British culture and the protection on the language acts on the inclusion of English language. 90 days after Dung Guin was handed back to Gwong Tung, the city of Dung Guin transitioned from left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic as the country of Gwong Tung drives to the universally right-hand traffic compared to Hong Kong and Macau driving at the left-hand traffic.

In 1984, for the first time in 1980s, both British Hong and Gwong Tung returned to the Summer Olympics at Los Angeles, California to show the companionship.
In 1987, for the first time, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew travels on both countries during four days visit by vehicles: British Hong Kong and Gwong Tung. Lee Kuan Yew. Before Yew retired from Prime Minister, Yew desired to see the travel by road from Gwong Chau to Hong Kong via Dung Guin to see the quality of the improvements on the transportation highway and developing the strong economic expansion within the Pearl Delta on the lowlands agricultural and river trades. When Yew visits at Dung Guin border control near Hong Kong for the first time, he was surprisingly to see the mini-astonishing of the road border trade within lands.
