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, and were involved in many battles during the Resource Wars, and retaliated to the world during the Great War. It was led by Chairman Cheng. Their most famous battle was the invasion of Anchorage, Alaska.

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.

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 of America, from west-coast to east, according to a ghoul 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-Tec 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.
