After years of civil war, almost all of mainland china is now in the rightful hands of socialism. Mao Zedong proclaims the Peoples Republic of China as the new government of mainland china, and takes up residence in Zhongnanhai. Troops are sent down to the south to keep peace and quell any nationalist uprisings, as well as to take Hainan. Some restoration projects are also put into motion.
