Ultimate Communist China (2023) - Bing Chilling with Mao

Bitt3r owes a piece of his sanity to more or less every historical world leader by now

I was actually watching your old communist China and thinking "bitter needs to update this guide" and you uploaded this, like it dropped from the sky

We're raising our social credits with this one lads

Pro tip: starting with Invite Foreign Investors first is huge for the economy, giving 2 offmap civs literally doubling the PRCs starting industry. Its only 70 days and helps out tremendously getting in the early game. I tried it one time and did a world conquest in 1948, demanding Mongolia and with the help of Germany it was really easy to defeat the USSR, then having military access to the Allies, I order 66d them, and then the Axis. Also picking Liu Shaoqi (the Silent Workhorse) at the very beginning is also really helpful, though after assigning the laws, advisors and military high command, PRC has not much to spend pp on, so its optional. I preferred Grand Battleplan for the PRC since it gives really good supply bonuses as well as unlocking Theatre training, making it much easier to get Adaptable on Lin Biao. I also just teamed up with the nationalists and defeated Japan first, then using the Infiltration mechanics, declared on China suddenly and the war was over really quickly. Maybe it takes longer this way to get the achievement but I found it to be really easy, and also fun at the same time (I focused on FeedBackGaming's new space marines template).

I never expected this guide to come out now. I honestly thought it would've taken a couple more weeks until it would come out.

Actually by the time the armies arrived to Yan'An after suffering through a series of encirclement campaigns, they had already left most of if not all artillery during the Long March. Not wanting to flame, just wanted to educate people on the historical conditions that led to the lack of artillery.

It's crazy how good at this game you are dude. I find the learning curve really challenging as I don't really have the time to dedicate to it to get good to the point where playing is just fun and not simultaneously a massive exertion of will and brainpower, but your videos make it so I can have a fighting chance, know why certain decisions get made, and actually enjoy playing. Even if I don't do the same things you do because I want to try something different for immersion or other reasons, at least now I know what's possible and why I might make one choice versus another. Idrc about achievements so with Communist China for example I might try to follow a strictly historical path (with deviations to account for the natural unpredictability of playthroughs even on historical) and not immediately rush all my neighbors, but just from the start of your video I know what production and focuses to prioritize, etc. Another example: I love playing as the USSR because I love doing the communist thing, but getting invaded by Hitler is hella scary and stressful when you're not actually that good at the game, but your No Step Back video really helps give me a fighting chance (even though I'm taking many steps back lol. Then again, if Stalin, one of the greatest military leaders of all time, had to retreat all the way to Stalingrad, then I won't feel bad that the g*rmans pushed me out of Poland. But that's neither here nor there. Thanks for your excellent guides!

I also uses Mao's hygiene routine to really immerse in the playthrough

So ther IS an attritionbug in the game! had the same with the german civilwar, which dragged on and on, because regardless of the encirclement they didnt run out of supplies. Good to know there is a solution for it.

Just completed my 2nd communist china run might be my favourite playthrough 💜

As a newbie player, this gives me some ideas. There's a lot that I need to learn. So far, I've only had a few successful runs, such as taking over Europe with Germany, recreating the Swedish Empire minus their German/American landholdings, and recreating the United Central American Provinces. As for what I'm focusing on right now... Fascist Ireland taking out the U.K., Venezuela recreating Gran Colombia, and Spain (I can't even win the civil war for crying out loud). Anyways, thanks for the new idea Bitter! Love your videos!

I'm very happy to see this guide remade, that's how I got to your channel, and after a few retarts I got the two achievements for Mao, and you do a great job!

It’s a great day when Bitt3rsteel uploads

Clean and cool video, I canno't stress enough how good is the rework of commie China in road to 56, I really encourage people to play it, PDX should watch, learn, and work

I love Mao's hair in the hoi4 portrait, shame he lost it. Ig I'm just gonna need to make my hair similar as a sign of respect

Just a little tip for anyone who wants to play communist china: bittersteel builds infrastructure here at the start... now i'm not gonna criticise this in it of itself, but i wanna implore you to queue up something else to build, because you can't build infra while you are fighting in that state, but the game doesn't wanna let you know that your factories doing nothing, so just be aware of that.

Great social credit score guide

I formally request a Nationalist playhtrough in the 2020 but 1936 mod. It's not easy to retake China. In fact, I haven't yet. If anyone can, it's the man himself.
