The Republic of China was founded as the Xinhai Revolution led to the downfall of centuries of Chinese rule, as its founder, Sun Zhongshan, led China throughout a period of social and political change. Under Sun Zhongshan and following leadership under various politicians such as Song Qingling, Deng Yanda, Sun Ke, and Chiang Wei-Shui following the ideals of Democratic Socialism, as the country continued to democratize, and in the cold war, the country whilst being in the Non-Aligned movement, remained friendly relations with the Soviet Union, similar to India, although unlike India, also maintained friendly relations with the United States. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Republic of China and the United States would grow closer ties as the Chinese government became more moderate on economic issues, however both countries remained geopolitical rivals, as China began to grow closer ties with India and the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics under Gorbachev.

History

The Republic of China would be founded following the Xinhai Revolution, in which Sun Zhongshan would cooperate with Yuan Shikai in order to ensure the Republic's survival. Following the Chinese legislative elections, a potential coup with the attempted assassination of Song Jiaoren by Yuan Shikai would be thwarted and Yuan Shikai would be deposed, in which Sun Zhongshan would be sworn in as both President and Premier, establishing a Republic.
