Chairman Cheng

Chairman Cheng was the military leader of China from at least 2066 until the Great War in 2077.

Background
Under his rule, China invaded the US state of Alaska in 2066. China's head of state during that time was President Xin, and the details of the relationship between the two leaders are not known.

While in the Tranquility Lane or Anchorage Reclamation simulation, a few of the Chinese soldiers can be heard yelling "For Chairman Cheng!" The Chinese Remnant Soldiers in Mama Dolce's also yell this occasionally. Liberty Prime sometimes voices the line "Chairman Cheng will fall!".

Irving Cheng, resident of Tenpenny Tower in the year 2277, claims to be a descendant of Chairman Cheng.
