I mean it’d be more like if the confederate government ran away to Hawaii, then spent decades terrorizing/genocide the locals/anyone left of Nathan Bedford Forrest, while Russia gave them a bunch of weapons and ships and put military bases in Canada, Mexico, and Cuba.

Except it’s not. The original China government was not the ones who started the civil war.
