Right...2 issues with China at the moment. 2 people: Yip Kai-Man and "Liu Han"
I don't know what Yip Kai-Man (Ip Man) is doing as Chief of Army in the Republic of China, unless it's some sort of martial arts army. Really?
Then we have "Liu Han" (the attractive woman that looks totally out of context) in the Fengtian Republic, which is probably the result of some Turtledove fanboy.
Here's part of her story:
"Liu Han was taken up in one of the Race's starships and forced into a study of human sexual behavior. She was forced into intercourse with a variety of men who had also been captured by the Race. Liu Han unexpectedly made a connection with American baseball player Bobby Fiore. They began a monogamous relationship. Once Liu Han became pregnant, they were both returned to China for the birth. During that time Fiore attracted the attention of the Communist party with his pitching skills. He was coerced in to leaving the camp and becoming a grenadier. Fiore was shot dead in Shangai."
What the f***ing f**k? lol
