The North Chinese System
While the Chinese Soviet Republic is ostensibly a communist regime, the regime which the Mao family has created over the years has been compared by many outside the Chinese Soviet Republic to medieval feudalism. This system developed over the decades and involves the creation of a hierarchial society which has been disavowed by the other major left-wing powers (yet they maintain ties to the North Chinese regime out of realpolitik).
The system initially developed during the Great Asian War, which pitted an alliance of the Empire of China and the Empire of Japan against the Soviet Union between 1943 and 1951 which led to the division of China which persists to this day as Mao Zedong, then-leader of the Chinese Communist Party came up with the system of jiangong (which means "hard worker" in Chinese). The system was initially meant as a "reward" for those who performed extra deeds in the battlefield or in the war effort. However, it would be abused by members of the Chinese Communist Party almost immediately, beginning the slow transformation of the jiangong system into a virtual aristocracy.
After the Great Asian War ended, the Chinese Soviet Republic controlled China north of the Huai river. Almost immediately, the Chinese Soviet Republic gained a reputation as one of the most brutal communist powers in the world with constant purges, brutal force-draft modernization, and attempts to destroy traditional culture with Mao Zedong proclaiming a "Cultural Revolution" in the late 1950s. Mao Zedong would die in 1963, leaving Mao Anying, at the age of 41, as the leader of the Chinese Soviet Republic with Lin Biao and Jiang Qing as his main allies. This would be sealed by the brutal executions of Deng Xiaoping and Liu Shaoqi, who were executed before the CPC elite.
Mao Anying's rule would last over forty years and see the Chinese Soviet Republic turn into a pseudo-feudal madhouse. This was so as Mao Anying made it a requirement for senior officials to be jiangong during the first few years of his rule. He also made the system of jiangong hereditary in the 1980s and instituted a cult of personality around his father where he was seen as a divine entity warding off Capitalism, Imperialism, and Feudalism. In addition, under him, North China adopted a nightmarish surveillance state where almost everywhere in North China (or at least the big cities and the more densely-populated rural areas) was covered by video cameras with informants making up the gaps.
When Mao Anying died in 2004, his nephew, Mao Xinyu, often mocked as "the only fat man in North China" due to the poverty suffered by most nongmin in the Chinese Soviet Republic while he put on weight, took over the Chinese Soviet Republic. He focused his attention on how to eliminate subversive thoughts within the CSR with access to the Internet strictly controlled and North China giving the nongmin cheap and vapid entertainment to distract them from their woes. Despite the utter brutality and insanity of the North Chinese system, it has influenced some unsavory "communist" regimes in Africa and Latin America, much to the disgust of the international community.
