I tend to check other countries' progress through their national focus trees as I notice that every time a chinese minor aligns with the KMT and then does the "Join Nationalist China" Instead of being annexed by China, they annex China.
This ruins the game because...
1. In the middle of a big war against Japan (for example), China can be annexed.
2. When China has been puppetted by Japan, China can get annexed, effectively releasing China and making the war for nothing.
3. China's focus tree gets reset every time, so they lose all their progress on their foreign diplomacy tree and can never accomplish anything significant.
4. By 1942 there are six versions of China that have cores on all of China, so puppeting regions instead of the whole of China because impossible without console cheats.
There may be other details I'm missing but those were the big ones making me annoyed with the situation in Asia. I've played a couple games now and every time all of these things happen.
Everything would be a lot simpler they just got annexed into China instead of trying to become China.
