Death from Above: Artillery is one of China's specialties.They're this to the Soviets, as rather than being a group of delusional hypocrites, they are genuinely capable of doing good in spite of their methods revolving heavily on brute force and being more than willing to use weapons of mass destruction like nukes and whatnot, but in spite of all their flaws, they're as opposed to the GLA as the Americans are. For bonus points, red is considered an auspicious color in Chinese culture. Color-Coded Armies: China is associated with red- a color of choice for many former Communist-bloc countries (which include themselves).China Takes Over the World: At the end of Zero Hour.You can even install them on the Overlord Tanks and Helix choppers to turn them into pseudo-Medics. Canned Orders over Loudspeaker: Chinese Speaker Towers can heal friendly units who hear them and encouraged them to fire a little faster.They're still more than enough to hold their own compared to both the technologically advanced USA, and the subversive if more backward GLA. Many of China's units are based on Cold War-era designs and aesthetics, albeit with some modern touches. Break Out the Museum Piece: Downplayed.Taking Zero Hour into account, the entire game begins and ends with a Chinese military parade. Book Ends: The base game's Chinese campaign begins and ends with a Chinese military parade.Additionally, Overlords are so large that you can build a bunker on top of its turret. However, General Shin Fai's version comes with minigunners that can chop up light vehicles and infantry in seconds and allows the passengers to fire from it, as well as the Assault Helix helicopters. It's rather unimpressive by itself, as it's slow, lacks a weapon or fireports, and is not strong enough to make up for it. Awesome Personnel Carrier: The Troop Crawler has eight passenger seats and the ability to detect stealth units.Artistic License Military: See Acceptable Breaks from Reality above.Their occupied portion of Kazakhstan is also run questionably it is implied that they mistreat the locals of Astana City given on how the GLA is able to rally them into violence so easily, and a PLA general in the southeastern region is selling weapons and equipment to the GLA. However, they aren't entirely altruistic, as they have no trouble brute-forcing their way to victory if they have to- including using tactical nuclear weapons (to the point that the Europeans had to ask them to tone down their nuke-happy tendencies in Zero Hour), handing said tactical nuclear weapons over to terrorist turncoats, or blowing up large portions of their own cities (and their citizens with it) to flush out GLA holdouts. They are one of the primary protagonists of both games' campaigns, alongside the US. Anti-Hero: Of the Unscrupulous Hero variety.However, a more realistic Chinese military would play like the US military in this game and thus blur the distinction between the two factions, thus artistic license is taken with the portrayal of the PLA in this game as to keep the distinction clear. Acceptable Breaks from Reality: The People's Liberation Army in real life has taken massive steps to modernize its military away from the stereotypical human wave tactics seen in the game, starting in the 80's.However, the Chinese forces are well-suited to winning drawn-out battles of attrition. Due to having virtually no fast attack units, except for their MiGs, China is forced to make large, ponderous assaults with heavy units, a tactic that can be countered by the GLA's speed or the USA's air power. China has a major disadvantage in that its ground forces are generally slower than those of the other two factions. Chinese troops and tanks gain special bonuses when in groups, and make extensive use of propaganda (passive healing) to support their troops. China's playstyle emphasizes direct assaults and sheer power to defeat American technology and GLA stealth. The People's Republic of China relies largely on brute force and sheer numbers, culminating in a variety of powerful and heavily armored tanks, and has limited air power.
