They may not control the Uyghurs, but they may still have a sizable population of Hui Muslims.

The Hui muslims and the Kuomintang got along great. According to that Wikipedia article you just linked, Hui muslims fought courageously for the KMT against the Japanese. Even today in OTL the Hui aren't any more upset about CCP rule than the Han Chinese are. So no, I don't think radical Hui muslim terrorists is something that would happen.

Also, this seems like a big South Vietnam wank. It would take far more than two decades for SV to purge corruption and improve its an economy to the extent that it would become an "Asian Tiger".

Yeah that's what I thought too. Uyghurs and Hui hate each other far more than Hui hate the Han Chinese (if they ever hated the Han at all), despite the fact that Uyghur and Hui are both Muslims. To be honest, the only way I can see Islamic terrorism happening in China ITTL is if there are large numbers of Uyghur Migrant workers in China, which could stir up ethnic and religious tensions.
 
Wouldn't the Uyghurs gravitate more towards Turkey than Pakistan as they are an ethnic Turkic people. In OTL Erdogan has been supporting them.

I've got an NVA peaked cap on my bookcase. :D

I also have a Luftwaffe officer's cap, and a Wehrmacht field coat.

Yes, I was a Wehraboo when I was younger. Don't hate.


Have an East German border guard's peaked hat. Also have my Air Force peaked hat, with the clouds and darts (AF version of Army 'scrambled eggs') on the visor. :)
 
The thing I find wrong with this TL is the death toll. IMHO 100 million deaths is sadly a conservative estimate, take in mind you have 22 multimegaton nuclear detonations and massive radioactive fallout and famine in a country with 800 million people. Red dawn predicted 600 million chinese dead in nuclear hellfire, and while China was blanketed with nukes in Red Dawn and not here ITTL, I do see far more due to full on warlordism and the massive nuclear famines, and many years of the ROC trying to get china under control.
Death toll:
30 million death through the explosions. Same here.
The amount of indirect deaths is hard to predict with the south not receiving nukes aside from Nanking and fallout blowing over to the east, I could see deaths around 250 million, and I would not be too shocked if it were close to 400 million. IMO the success of the ROC is exaggerated and it would take at least until 1980 to take all land south of the Yangtze, then it would maybe be early 1990s when all of China including Manchuria is occupied by the ROC

So... you necro-ed a thread just to add your personal criticism? And you find such behaviour the right thing to do?
