Now player have harder way to conquest China, or easiest way to westernize as China:
1) Literacy + 2% clergy is now easier to get, and maintain
2) Main issue of people is now jingoism, and this help a lot to avoid revolutions.
3) You need more warscore to get substate regions
4) Slaugthering chinese irregulars now affect less War Exhaustion of China: losses are divided between substates.
5) No land border with Russia, and UK help a lot to avoid war now.
6) As China you have easier way to manage these 500 brigades, and if you want you can take all forces from substates.
7) Less minorities - less militiancy.

1. Enjoy the less than 4% literacy and only one national focus as unciv.
2. Good luck finding AI that can contain revolutions.
3/4/5. You can't stop mother Russia or Indian UK
6. Try playing HOD more than once
7. Seriously, play the game.

Well, might as well let this thread die, no point in expecting Europeans to understand China anyway. Words for thought: we don't play Paradox's games because history turned out one way or another; we play Paradox's games because they are great simulators that represent nations and recreate plausible history quite well. I stopped being a hardcore fan of Paradox ever since the direction they took with EU3: DW and AHD (intentional weaknesses to make some nations under-perform all the time to appease some fans, children who cry out for "balance" and "history" while conquering the world with minor nations)
