For those who don't play paradox games or Hearts of Iron 4, I did a difficult achievement, which is starting as communist china and proclaiming the People's republic of china. You have to fight an uphill battle starting from a single province. I managed to consolidate, drive out the japanese, and turn on the Kuomintang in a few years. This last year has been researching and preparing a naval invasion to fully defeat Japan. Of course, I had to keep Mao as the head, otherwise how could I really claim to have created the PRC?
Update: Not only did I capitulate Taiwan and take japan, but I am now the puppet owner of North Korea under Kim Il sung and Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh! Time to save Stalin's ass from the nazis.
