Alternate China Politics
Chinese colonies always take an additional "Crisis" path, representing how its colonies were hit particularly hard by the Breakdown. Running Back into the Fold: (+Techlevel, +Wealth)

The few colonies which came back under their own volition to the Chinese Colonial Authority were rewarded by extensive subsidies.

Reconquista: (+Military, +PIP, +Logistics, -Morale)

There were those unwilling, but too close to the might of the People's Liberation Army to significantly resist "support" being granted to pro-reunification elements.

Still Free: (+Military, +Morale, +CIS relations, -Chinese Relations)

Some colonies are particularly adamant about not bowing to the CCA again.

Alternate Economics
Former Trading Hub: (+Civilian Tech, +Pop, +Dust, -Wealth)

There were Chinese colonies heavily dependent on trade to and from Earth, and when the Breakdown hit their economies collapsed like a house of cards.

Nationalized: (++PIP, +CIP, -Debt)

To survive the Breakdown many once-private industries were nationalized as factories for export and trade lay rusting, keeping the colony's economy going at great cost to the government.

Financially Independent: (+Pop, +Wealth)

A few particularly lucky colonies had prepared well, and did not suffer as much from the Breakdown.
