Things had been difficult in China. For years the Communist government had failed to bring economic prosperity to the people or act in any significant way at all. Initially this frustration was expressed through small scale protests but as time went on things grew exponentially bigger and exponentially more dangerous. Police were used to control these demonstrations and eventually even the People's "Liberation" Army came in to oppress the enraged population. This would prove a fatal mistake as soldiers primarily trained for war proved incompetent at crowd control. At the first sign of trouble they would begin shooting. Seeing their brothers and sisters die before them sent the protesters in a frenzy and caused even more violence. Seeing the government shoot at its own people brought only more citizens to the streets. Eventually even the Police and the Army, loyal not to the Chinese state but to the Communist Party, turned against their masters. Refusing to kill any more of their own.
At this point a provisional government was established in Nanjing. The fact it could exist in such a major and significant city already showed just how weak the Party had gotten. Led by the young revolutionary Ming Yi (a long descendant of the Ming dynasty), they would declare the Republic of China. With control of most territory the Communists were mostly contained to the major cities. Under the leadership of a deserted General Ming Yi would authorize the formation of the Republican Army. This Army would soon grow with tens of thousands of deserters, some even brought things like aircraft and naval ships with them. In one fell swoop the Republic of China had an army, an air force, and a navy.
Seeing the tides turned and knowing that further resistance would only lead to their eventual capture and possible execution, the Communist Party under the leadership of Hu Jintao requested negotiations. Ming Yi would agree and under protection of the Republican Army the two leaders of mainland China met in the city of Shanghai, a city perfectly divided in the middle by Republican and Communist forces. At the conference it was decided the Communist Party would relinquish full control of the state and a transitional government under Ming Yi would be formed pending elections in January 2004. In return the Communist Party would not be banned and Party Leaders would receive legal immunity. Especially the immunity was a tough pill to swallow but Ming Yi relented for the sake of preventing further bloodshed.
With the Republic of China now formally established Ming Yi would step onto a stage prepared in the heart of Nanjing, the city that for now served as the capital of the Republic. Backed by the five races under one union flag Yi addressed the large crowds and press that had assembled. Her message would resonate around the world.
"China is free!
For years we have suffered under the oppression of a failed ideology, a government that has only brought misery and death to our people. After many attempts we have finally managed to return control to the people. The Republic of China will recognize the freedoms of every person under its protection and revert any measures that have subjugated our people. This will take time. There are many officials to replace and many laws to revert but we will achieve it. Internationally I hereby rescind the One China Policy. The people of Taiwan will always be our brothers and sisters. We are the same, but they have gone their own way and should act as an example for us to achieve. We will always stay connected to them and if they want we can become one in the future. But for now we must live apart. I also apologize for the aggressive actions the Chinese state has undertaken in East Asia and the South China sea. Our policies concerning these areas will also be evaluated.
Finally, I know this government is not democratic yet, but we will get there. In January 2004 there will be elections, anyone can stand in them and we will form a fully democratic government. Thank you."
