People's Liberation Army

The People's Liberation Army is the army of the People's Republic of China.

Background
They are the army of China, were involved in many battles during the Resource Wars, and retaliated to the world during the Great War. They fought the United States in the Sino-American War, a conflict that led directly to the Great War. It was led by Chairman Cheng. Their most famous battle was the invasion of Anchorage, Alaska. They also defended the Chinese mainland and other captured provinces when the United States Armed Forces launched a counter-invasion.

Resource Wars
During the Resource Wars, they sent a spy submarine to Point Lookout. However, an unspecified event caused the crewmen to ditch. They then sent two spies to try and destroy the sub before the Americans could get to it. They had infiltrators in Washington, D.C. and Pittsburgh, and the ghoulified Chinese remnants still inhabit the Mama Dolce's food factory building in D.C. In Pittsburgh, the infiltrators were killed just after the Great War. A dead Chinese remnant with a ham radio can be found in a random encounter, as well as an alive one in a random encounter. By far the most notable of all these events was the Sino-American War, a conflict that consumed both the United States and China, and also led directly to the Great War.

Great War and post-war
According to Dick Richardson of the Enclave, the Chinese might have been the ones to use a nuclear attack first, as he says, "...and then those damn reds launched...". They launched thousands of bombers and ICBMs who swept across the United States, from west-coast to east, according to Carol in Underworld, who says "...we had some warning after the west coast dropped off the map..." when questioned about the Great War. They only targeted major strategic objectives, such as West-Tek and Washington, D.C.. After the Great War, Chinese infiltrators remained in the District of Columbia, taking shelter in Mama Dolce's processing factory. The Shi also survived, and built a society around the salvaged remains of their submarine.
