- Today in Hearts of Iron IV, it's time to put the Chinese paths to the test. The nation has been fractured into many pieces. So who among the many leaders has the best path to lead the people out of the instability and towards glory? Well, that's what we're to find out.
From the five warlords, ideological rivals and deposed emperors all will have a chance to show what they can do best. But in the end only one can claim the mandate to call themselves the rightful best Chinese path.

This video broke my record for the most amount of video/audio clips used, with 115. Now, to be fair a lot of those are unused takes/retakes. But still, when you consider that the previous record was 110 with MvM 24, which is double the length of this video. It does stand out.
Also, I realized extremely late that I did forget to mention the difference between assert our authority and offer vassalization, but there's very little to say there. AoA allows you to annex the entire united front in one war, if you're skilled enough. While the other allows you to effectively open up multiple fronts depending on which warlords chose to bend the knee. How did I forget this? Well as you can imagine I did have other priorities.
Sinkiang joining the Republican government while staying communist is the best way imo
Bubbles Zest sold me fent
(It's only basil, but don't tell him that. He seemed happy that way)
1:47 I was wondering why japan didn't peace out when i played a few weeks ago, what a bummer
I think it has to do with the BBA dlc alone. At first, I thought it was ToA patch because I've purchased BBA around the same time as ToA release and since then I can't get the white peace.
Im glad you did this like this, becouse i think these focus trees should be treat more as branches of one big "China tree" - remeber that what we see in game (with warlords, japan puppets, two central regimes) is more or less a representation of fractions of civil war, not individual nations
I am glad this series is continuing! I can't wait to see an Italian version.
2:40 If you join the united front it will be even more bugged Japan gets like all the land back
u can give all territories to some warlord or china
I LOVE BUBBLES ZEST
Dude as a new players those videos are amazing! Whenever I try out a new nation I am just completely overwhelmed. Your videos not only teach me about the specific nations but also what to look for, if that makes sense!
if japan goes communist you get half of japan s navy, im not exactly sure but i know it works i did it myself
That only happens if the communists end the war quickly by capturing Tokyo. Then they get the event where the Emperor flees to Manchuria.
@@azh698 thats still soooo good
You also get colonies and generals
@@cromancer3219 yeah thats why i like that path, later on forming china will be very good
That portal 2 co-op reference in cooperation with nationalists intro card was perferct.
Wow, this is pretty smart... Have you done a Video about Bulgarian Paths? (I'm to lazy to check)
you can bypass the bug in assertiveness path by helping Japan conquer China first and then breaking off
"this should be interesting"
All your videos are interesting my friend.
I am thinking that the 40% consumer goods reduction makes it one of the best focus trees of any nation in the game.
For Manchukuo, if you aren't afraid of a little ahist runs (most of my runs are ahist because I enjoy pain for some reason), you can reset till Japan does the unthinkable option (which you can see them do, as a puppet), where they give you Korea, Taiwan, Iwo Jima, all the Pacific Islands, Dalian plus a whole metric load of good Japanese General and half the Japanese fleet. All this and you still get to do the focus for the Attack Bonus on Japan, it allows you to not export civs to overlord because they usually do it very quickly and finally, you get to bypass the Independence war focus which means you can get to the China stuff even quicker
cant wait for ranking all 12 polish focus trees In HOI4
Me half the way on Manchuko achievement gameplay (spent 12h and its my thrid try)
Me seeing Bubbles Zest says there is a bug in the peace deal after kick Japan out of Korea
Me releasing I wasted 12 hours in my weekend thinking i have to invade Home Island
Me feels sad and angry
Please rank every French path
You need to rank all polish or italian paths, i need someones opinions to follow
I LOVE BUBBLES ZESTY
I dont care what anyone says. Manchukuo assertiveness is my favorite focus tree in the whole game
Also where would assertiveness rank if it was fixed? 6-7?
I really like these rankings especially since you get a different point of view on many things. Nevertheless I've never disagreed more with your opinion as on this ranking.
Qing should have the opportunity to get all of its historical territory
Ah yes in the power struggle one really has to contend with famous Nationalist leader Ah Ren Chi
Bubbles I just played Manchucuo yesterday for tithe 3 achievements and what I did is fight China first with the aid of Japan, take all the land I could and then fight Japan. It worked well but I had to wait for Japan to remove their ships of the area to launch the naval invasion.
I remember playing Manchuria and joining the United front, and after the peace out event, the borders got completely reset. Japan keeping all their Chinese territories and Menguko as a puppet. Meaning you can’t even go to war with China because you don’t have a border.
Assertive Manchu is my favorite :(
The iron burger
They need to make social democracy actually democratic. Like give SocDem CPC a national spirit that gives daily dmeocracy support and make Zhang Lan the Democratic leader (he was the leader of China Democratic League irl and only defected to the communists late in the Civil War) and LET THEM ESTABLISH THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC.
But then also make 'Socialist Market Economy' (worked out very well under Deng irl) give actual industry and construction buffs, not just Deng (at that point he's useless pretty much). Then, revamp the Welfare tree to not be a war-support joke.
Or just integrate 8 Years War of Resistance and (parts of) Kaiserreich into base game.
Manchukuo can be op when you go non-historical and somehow japan goes communist, you can even get half their army and navy if things go right for the communists.
Manchukuo is my 2nd favorite chinese nation behind the Guangxi clique
This is true, but since this isn't a benefit unique to either path. And is 100% reliant on the ai. It didn''t feel necessary to include it.
Either way Democratic Mengukuo is still the BEST Chinese nation😂😂😂
Your list is wrong.
It also forgets the other Chinese paths.
#11 Submissive Manchu
#10-8 Warlord trees, literally interchangeable
#7 SocDem PRC, removed the only late game objective
#6 Fascist Nationalists
#5 Assertive Manchu
#4 Stalinist PRC
#3 Continue Tutelage Nationalists
#2 Maoist PRC
#1 Democratic transition Nationalists
FYI these are RT56 because Vanilla sucks.
You spelled it out for me, rt56 is not vanilla hoi4 and it never will be. So, I don't include it. If I did, that would open up the floodgates to every mod.
