China Strategy In 1925

---

If you were in China in 1925, with stronger external support—including funding, technology, and international influence—it would indeed be possible to perform better than the Kuomintang (KMT) or the Communist Party. The key lies in whether you can advance unification, development, and social integration with a vision and execution that transcend the limitations of the time.

Compared to the high costs of warlord conflict or civil war, you could achieve unification more efficiently through economic inducement and social negotiation; promote rapid literacy and industrialization through rural education and technology transfer; narrow the urban–rural gap through gradual land reform combined with market incentives; reduce division and unrest through inclusive governance that embraces all social classes and cultural traditions; adopt a flexible diplomatic strategy to balance foreign powers and strive for maximum autonomy; and establish modern armed forces and crisis management systems early to enhance national resilience.

If you uphold principles such as: people-centeredness, balance between internal and external forces, and combining speed with stability, and apply modern governance tools to combat corruption and disorder, you could build a modern China that avoids historical tragedies and achieves national rise faster, more steadily, and at a lower cost than any of its historical successors.
