Chinese power armor



Chinese power armor was an attempt made by the People's Republic of China in order to replicate the militarized power armor utilized by the United States Armed Forces.

Background
Following the massive military success of power armor during the Battle of Anchorage, the United States military began to fear the People's Republic of China would soon begin developing suits of their own. In order to counter the People's Liberation Army's power armor in the event of its deployment, the US preemptively invested in electromagnetic pulse weaponry. The Chinese, however, focused primarily on combating America through cunning and espionage. Rather than brute strength of power armor, they made skilled use of covert technologies, such as stealth armor. Although some Chinese-made suits made their way into the hands of PRC agents operating on American soil, other officers relied on captured American suits.

Behind the scenes

 * The concept art for the Communist power armor was created by Chris Ortega.
 * The armor includes Chinese characters, written and translated as 美 (America) 帝 (Empire) 必< (Must) 败 (Lose).
 * The Fallout Bible states that, following their military debut on the Alaskan battlefield in early 2067, the People's Republic of China began developing their own power armor.
