The empire's capital is Tianjin. Very much in the fashion of the pre-1912 Chinese Empire, Imperial China is isolationist, arrogant, and chaotic. The Emperor Chi Mo lives in isolated splendor. The official government policy is to keep foreigners restricted to the coastal cities, though some do go inland anyway.
Pretty much everything is for sale, including the right to disobey imperial edicts!
The Imperial Chinese 1st Dragon, 2nd Dragon, and 31st Route Armies are massed in the vicinity of the Great Wall on a line from Zangjiakou to the coast at Qiansuo. Each army consists of four or five divisions Reports from operatives in the Taiwanese Secret Intelligence Service report that these so-called "armies" are no more than the equivalent of a single second class UKA infantry division in size, backed up by several divisions worth of militia. The first line Chinese troops are armed with imported small arms and light artillery of diverse makes. The militia are equipped with anything to hand, but most would be armed with flintlock muskets and crossbows.
The Imperial Chinese Army also has a number of reserve armies in the Interior, and what little we know about them is that all the best equipment goes to the Great Wall. As far as we know, most of these interior troops are equipped with muskets and crossbows."
The Imperial Chinese air force is equipped with about 150 Snipe biplanes bought from the UKA over the past ten years or so. The level of training in the Imperial Chinese Air Force is so poor, a large number probably have been destroyed by now.
Imperial China has no significant naval units.
