Qing Restorationists (Alternate)

Qing Restorationism is a movement in the Republic of China which aims to reestablish a Qing Empire under a Constitutional Monarchy, but has been criticized as an restoration of the autocratic system of monarchy that China has had for 5000 years. The movement came to grow in the aftermath of the 2nd Sino-Japanese war, when Royalist Party remnants brought Emperor Puyi to Harbin, and declared the establishment of the Qing Union of China, due to the Soviet invasion and failed industrialization of the area.

The movement is very frowned upon by the general Chinese public, as it forces all citizens under their occupation to follow their traditions, such as the act that all men must have a Queue hairstyle or they will be executed. Furthermore, as Puyi served as Emperor of Manchukuo, which was a Japanese puppet state, Puyi is considered by the public as a Hanjian, thus unable to serve the nation unlike a normal ruler.

The movement's military wing are remnants of the Manchukuo Army, and parts of the Beiyang army, and frequently engages in battle with the Nationalist Government's National Revolutionary Army in Northeastern China. However, recent developments show that the movement is strengthening their military and preparing for total war with the Nationalist Government.

Qing restorationists hold claim over the entirety of the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, parts of Southeast Asia, and Mongolia, while their area of actual control is contained North of Beijing.
