Chairman Cheng

Chairman Cheng was the military leader of China from at least 2066 until the Great War in 2077. Under his rule, in 2066 China invaded the US state of Alaska. China's head of state during that time was President Xin, and the details of the relationship between the two leaders are not known.

Irving Cheng, a resident of Tenpenny Tower, claims to be a descendant of Chairman Cheng.

Appearances
Chairman Cheng does not appear in any of the games and is mentioned only in Fallout 3. A distinctive facial hair style that can be chosen for the player character in the game is also named after him. This facial hair style bears a resemblance to the type of mustache often associated with Fu Manchu, presumably a reference to the fact that the United States' enemy is the "yellow peril" of Red China, much as Fu Manchu symbolized the "yellow peril" during the early 20th century.
