Is an alternate universe, so is it so bad to have a China in civil war? I meant the Soviet Union still exist in the story. I don't really care what they talk about China in an alternate universe, it just someone fantasy. Getting all rally up for it dosen't increase your patriotism. As long as the story is interesting I don't see much problem.
What I'll find problem with is changing histroy or putting some half hazard political discussion without through research or honesty, and so far I haven't seen any evidence of that in TSR. In fact I find the Gundam series more offensive when they juxaposing their "anti-war messages", with their increasely more powerful Gundams of mass destruction. Some toy commercials with twisted moral ehehhe, although the models are pretty cool and well made.
