Lead the People's Republic of China through the pivotal years from 1976 to 1985 in this strategy simulation game. Shape foreign policy by restoring ties with the USSR to vie for socialist leadership, aligning with the USA, or charting an independent course amid Cold War tensions. Expand influence across Asia and into Europe while managing internal party politics, where allies can turn into rivals through plots and ambitions.
Drive economic transformation with a robust planned system, market reforms that draw global investors, or automated communist planning. Guide the nation to redefine the late 20th century-potentially averting the Soviet collapse, reshaping the socialist bloc, or altering fates like North Korea's. Strategy enthusiasts who enjoy simulation challenges of diplomacy, economy, and intrigue will find their decisions echo worldwide.
