one suggestion
if you have claims on mongolia have claims on entire korea&laos/vietnam
remember those where imperial chinas territories!
Well... it is tempting, but Indochina (Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia) already has 0 partisan activity as its base... and I don't think that the modern population of Indochina would be too happy if they got annexed into China. I intend to set up a Korean puppet state, and this is entirely historical with regards to Imperial China, as for much of its history Korea was more like a vassal of China, or at least to my understanding. Still, the same argument as with Indochina remains.

Operation Fading Sun: Part 4
On May 11, Deng Xiaoping succeeded in implementing his new form of Improved Machine Tools, and immediately began work on advancing their design:
Meanwhile, the Red Army advanced further into Japanese territory, taking Chengde and Erenhot and even advancing into the Manchukuoan province of Jinxi.
On the Southern Front, Kuomintang forces managed to surround and force to surrender some Japanese divisions in Kaifeng.
On the Northern Front, the Red Army and the Imperial Japanese Army battled over control of the relatively useless province of Xilinhot, though neither side could achieve a lasting victory, and the province switched hands several times before finally being taken by Kuomintang forces in early July. During this time, attacks were made on the strategically important province of Mukden, in the industrial heartland of Manchukuo.
Though the Japanese forced back the attacking force after it occupied Mukden, it was a significant, though temporary, blow to the industrial capacity of Manchukuo.
The Red Army then opened an attack on the province of Chifeng, with support from the Nationalist Revolutionary Army. It was estimated that the province would be secured in about one month.
On the Southern Front, things did not look as good. Though part of the Japanese force had been destroyed in Kaifeng, the Japanese still fielded a large enough force to take Jinian on August 11, destroying the General Armament Department's experimental Basic Computing Machine.
However, Kuomintang forces quickly forced the Japanese out of Jinian.
One day after the Japanese began retreating from Jinian, Chifeng was taken, making it the second Manchurian province to fall into Communist hands. It would not be the last.
