Very cool project. I also sort of assumed the 2300AD timeline prominence of Manchuria represented something to do with the majority of Chinese and Soviet combat power in the region being parked in that part of China. Seems like the only real logical reason why they'd pull ahead of the other two Chinese states, since that part of the country is probably also the most blasted and war torn.
