A history of Modern China
Event: The Flag Referendum - January 2004
A fundamental ballot item in the 2004 Chinese elections was a referendum on the continued use of the "Five Star flag" which had been in use by the Mainland since the Maoist Revolution of 1949, and had been used on Taiwan since the unification of China in 1990.
However, many people by the turn of the century began to express their concerns that the flag was improper in referencing the "one-ness" of China. Many wanted to restore the "sun flag" (which was largely rejected by people who disliked the memory of the Kuomintang regime, and the KMT in general), a maintaining of the status quo (Largely disliked by Taiwanese, non-leftists, and moderates), or adopting a "new flag" (largely unknown).
Before the election, an organization called "National Alliance For The Restoration of the Flag of the Republic" emerged in China, calling for the restoration of the Five Races Under One Union flag, which had been utilized by the Republic of China from 1912 to 1928, before it was replaced with the Kuomintang flag.
While the Five Races flag had been utilized by the corrupt Beiyang Government during that period, many noted that historically, that was the flag that was largely approved by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Critics of the proposal railed on the fact that the flag was heavily utilized by the Japanese in their puppet regimes of Manchukuo and China-Nanjing.
The proponents of the flag rebuffed these criticism, claiming that unless the Chinese people reclaim and rehabilitate the flag of the five races, it would forever be marked with the stains of imperialism. They argued that many flags had stains upon them, and that through persistence and kindness, they could ensure it remained with goodness. They pointedly used the examples of France, whose flag was originally used under the actions of decapitating anything and anyone who wasn't up to the regime's standards. The flag of the Soviet Union had once been a symbol of bloody tyranny under Stalinism, but was now a shining symbol of forward progress for the world; so on.
The Flag Referendum, held on Election Day, saw the majority of Chinese voters supporting the Five-Race option, seeing it as the best "balance" between China's Communist and Capitalist sides, and the "long-standing establishment of democracy".
Thus, effective February 1st, the official state flag of the People's Republic of China would be changed from the Five-Star Flag, to the Five-Race flag. However, there was a lengthy period of time (a year), for people to trade in their current flags, either of the Kuomintang or Maoist China, for the current People's Republic flag; as well as for businesses, schools and government offices to change the flags as well.
The KMT and Maoist flags were not removed from Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum, but the "new/old" flag was added, as the three flags represented the unity of his legacy.
In 2004, there were only a handful of souls who remembered when the Republic flew the Five-Race flag. The flag represented the concepts of unity, democracy, and freedom once more.

(Top map is geopolitical, bottom map is alliance-based.)
Latest map, shortly before Islamic Caliphate invades Jordan in 2003.
Gray is the Dar al-Islam, the alliance of radical Islamist regimes lead by the maniacal and psychopathic Wahhabist caliphate. They have made great strides in damaging the standing of Muslims internationally, and have seeded regimes like theirs all over the Sub-Saharan region.
Red is the Warsaw Pact, the alliance of states under the general protection and political alignment of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, since the death of Joseph Stalin in 1949, has largely become a moderate remnant of it's former self -- while not embracing democracy like China did, they've largely turned into a moderating force on Earth. In the Middle Eastern theatre, the Soviets have a large number of planes conducting bombing raids against Islamic Caliphate units out of airfields in Syria, Iraq and Jordan. They are currently assembling Tatar and Kazakh special units to fight the IC.
Orange is the Beijing Pact, the alliance of states under the general protection and political alignment of the People's Republic of China. Since the resignation of Mao Tse-tung in 1953, China has largely turned into a social democratic superpower, embracing the maxims of democracy and state-regulated capitalism. After the 1999 Kargil War, China became the definitive Asian superpower, after India and Pakistan were engulfed in nuclear war. They are involved in the southern set of the Middle Eastern theatre, launching bomb raids from Ethiopia, Somalia and Djibouti against Sudan, IC-occupied Yemen, Oman, and the other Islamist regimes in Africa. They are assembling a coordination of Bengali, Ugyhur and other Islamic soldiers to help fight the IC.
Blue is the Pan-European Military Community, a collective of European populist, nationalist, or "federalist" regimes that work together to bright Europe tighter together, and push out the influences of America and the Soviet Union to ensure Europe's place in the future as a power to be reckoned. This alliance is lead primarily by the Republic of France and FR Germany. They are largely uninvolved in the war against the IC, largely targeting Islamists domestically and in Tunisia -- since the May 2002 terrorist attacks, European Islamophobia has reached new heights.
Greenish-blue is the Alliance of Free States, the reformed version of NATO, after the European withdrawal from the organization. The United States is the de-jure and de-facto leader of this alliance. Despite European withdrawal, it has remained strong and capable of threatening her enemies. The United States, UK and others are currently coordinating the establishment of numerous Islamic units to help occupy Mecca and Medina during the invasion of the Caliphate, planned for 2004. These soldiers are trained and prepped largely under the purvey of U.S. officers and with the permission and assistance of the various Arab/Islamic states aligned to the USSR, USA and China.

"...The long story of humankind has been one of violence. Brothers, cousins, friends, neighbors, constantly waging that final war against each other to the point of extermination. In the last 70 years since the brave forces of the Commonwealth and America fought their way upon the shores of Normandy in the final battle against Nazism, we have come, in many ways, closer to a sense of global peace and unity than we were on that day in July, but in many ways, we have taken steps backwards..."

A history of Modern China
Event: Operation Olympic begins - February 2-16, 2004
For everything that June 6th, 1944 was; February 2, 2004 was perhaps just as bloody. The Islamic Caliphate, in the aftermath of repeated bombings and the Israeli nuclear attacks, were stepping up their domestic conscription. Weapons in their possession taken from sales to the Saudi Arabian regime, weapons taken from Kuwaiti, Iraqi, Jordanian, Yemeni and Omani stockpiles soon became widely distributed to children as young as 11, intending on fighting off an American invasion.
In the early morning, Muslim paratroopers under the flag of the various Allied nations, identifiable by the same green arm-band with a white crescent-and-star, applied across all the coordinated armies, undertook a large-scale operation from airfields in Israel. The paratroopers were made up of men from each of the three superpowers, and the Arab nations. (Operation Crown)
Their landing targets were to secure the cities of Mecca and Medina -- if Mecca and Medina were left as the final bastions of the Islamic Caliphate, it would turn the war into a quagmire of unbelievable measure. The United States and the Allied nations coordinated a refusal to bomb or attack Mecca and Medina, instead landing soldiers to take the cities with minimal bloodshed. As they landed, their fighting escalated as casualties mounted on both sides -- either through child suicide bombers, or ambushes and attacks. As the hours passed, the casualties began to mount on both sides.
However, elsewhere, Allied armies coordinated a large number of attacks. The United States launched a naval invasion upon the shores of IC-occupied Kuwait, and launched an invasion along the Hormuz Strait. (Operation Enduring Freedom)
The Chinese coordinated a number of military operations in Sudan, Chad, and also Yemen. (Operation Heavenly Gate) -- The Soviets also undertook the mobilization of army units in the Middle East, pushing into Jordan with the intent to liberate Amman. (Operation Arrow).
The Islamic Caliphate's response was strong and more capable than at first expected. During the initial Soviet offensive against the Islamic Caliphate in Israel and Jordan, the Israeli-Soviet coordination suffered 39,448 casualties, largely impeded by IEDs, suicide bombers, and other methods of impeding their offensive. With mounting casualties, the Israelis detonated another tactical nuclear weapon against the Islamic Caliphate, destroying the city of Qurayyat, bumping the death-toll up by 72,410. (DT: +111,858)
At the conclusion of the initial operations of Olympic, each of the three major nations and their allies had taken significant casualties -- the Americans, through their attempts to take Kuwait and Dubai, had suffered significant casualties, American reports indicate that it had taken 10,478 casualties to secure a beach-head; the paratrooper invasion had completely failed, with 10,763 casualties in the operation, making it the worst military operations disaster since Market Garden. (DT: +21,241)
As a result of this, the Soviets and Chinese had suffered higher casualties than the United States by itself, with the American death-toll sitting at roughly 7,000 (2,500 from the paratroopers); the Chinese at 4,000 and the Soviets at 3,500 in the paratrooper action, with an additional 16,600 and 18,100 in the following attacks. (DT: +34,700)
Despite the high death-toll, the Allies had largely secured their objectives in Operation Olympic -- Kuwait and Dubai had beach-heads entrenched, and were now devolving into urban warfare between American and Islamic forces. Aden, and Khartoum were largely under Chinese occupation, but the Islamic Caliphate was slowing their offensive by blocking tanks, utilizing IEDs and suicide bombers against their soldiers and installations. The Soviets and Israelis had made great headway to Amman, but were still miles from the capital city.
With the end of Operation Olympic, the death-tool had climbed another 167 thousand lives on the Allied side, with an additional 250 thousand soldiers on the Islamic Caliphate side, with an additional 100,000 in Sudan. In the last 12 years, historical analysis has shown that the total death-toll during Operation Olympic is approximated at about 518,000 casualties, very close in death-toll to that of Operation Overlord, which is estimated anywhere from 625k to 900k dead on both sides.
With the bloodiest days behind them, they hoped, the war could continue without too much more in the way of unnecessary bloodshed. However, many expressed grimness over the mounting blood-shed.
However, despite the mounting casualties, even in an age of emerging social media, expansion of the internet, and 24/7 cable television, anti-war sentiment was at an all-time low...

200,000 Americans civilians died? Did the Islamic terrorists set off a nuke in an American city or something? I seem to be missing something here

The terrorists detonated five low-yield nuclear devices (largely made up of low-yield shit left behind in Pakistan) in Washington D.C., and then conducted large-scale car-bombings in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and other major American cities. It is considered one of the largest breaches in American national security ever.

You did what?
An anti-KMT party that was founded with the express intention of ruling the island of Taiwan as a separatist state that does not want to have anything to do with China, ended up being the ruling party of the whole of China, along with its geopolitical baggage as a world power?
As for the map, why are there patches of Philippines within Sabah (Malaysian Borneo)? And is Suharto still alive ITL? As I see Indonesia is still within the US sphere of influence.

This DPP is not the same DPP as historically. The DPP was actually the largest proponent of unifying with China after it's establishment in 1986, particularly with China forming a democracy.
As for the Philippines, those outlines indicate Philippines' claims over territories and islands.
re: Indonesia, they're a coalition regime. Suharto didn't grip on until 1998, he was ousted far earlier by internal power playing. The Indonesians are pretty quiet, and try to balance their American alignment with Chinese regional influence.

I would have loved to live in this world pre-1999, but after...
The world must release her evils. We avoided Vietnam, Korea, and we avoided the numerous proxy wars that ravaged the world during the Cold War; entirely to bring us to this point. The world shall recover, surely, but it will be a long time.
1950s China would affect butterflies in Indonesia(probably no G30S which lead to Soeharto taking power),i imagined them becoming Chinese-influenced left wing democratic,or alternatively an American liberal democracy,but that would make lots of retcons on your part.
The largest Muslim country would be a probable flashpoint in the Jihad though.
Just my random thoughts.

China's foreign policy matters in the early 1960s (up-to 1965) was largely to advocate the mass-support of Maoism and anti-imperialist hard-left communist ideology. Madame Mao's downfall in 1965 and her supplanting by the moderate-left regime of Chairman Aisin Gioro lead to China's policy pivot -- however, this still caused the effects of Singaporean independence and Indonesia undergoing a coup d'etat by the Army.
However, Suharto was not able to fully implement the extent of his policies from OTL before his deposition; He was unable to mass-purge due to the dangerous presence of the China and U.S. interference in the region, and he was ousted and killed in 1976 by internal political power-players; the current leader of Indonesia is a moderate Islamist leader, trying to keep the peace between the state-radicals and the peaceful moderates.
With the outbreak of the Islamic War, the radicals in Indonesia are entering into a frenzy, and the leftist elements (leftists in the military and the Communist Party's paramilitaries) are growing more concerned at the situation; as are the rest of the moderates. Everyone's itching, and the jihadis are getting louder.

the U.S. and China are hands-off of the situation, and the two sides have ground out into a stalemate. There are rumours of Aceh's imminent unilateral DoI; particularly with Jakarta becoming more and more unstable by the day. Similar rumours are plaguing West Papua as well. The U.S. and China are in a flurry to meet and figure out what's to be done about it; and prevent a bloody civil war or all-out spillage of the Islamic War into South East Asia.
