Iirc, before 2018 the Chinese goverment would refuse to recognize some priests or bishops as officials even if the Pope had selected them. The relation between the PRC and the Vatican was ok, better than the Soviets and the Vatican, but this was a huge problem for them.

In 2018 Francis made a deal with them, I think Xi wanted to approach the Catholic Church due to the slow but big growth of the Church in Asia, and because they probably wants to get closer with LatAm and Africa. Francis (The Pope) would choose the priests, but the Chinese goverment/CPC would have to approve them, some TradCath and Anti-China Catholics are angry bc they hate Francis (mostly bc he purged some tradcatholics and kicked some out of the church, and he is in friendly terms with some socdem and communist goverments in LatAm), and bc Francis have been mostly choosing normal Catholic priests and bishops, instead of anti-China ones.

I think the UK and US kept the military base though

Unrelated to China, but why is the Vietnam War listed as Indecisive or unclear outcome?

During the first and second Afghan civil-war there were also border skirmishes

I think the other models would emulate the ps2 games. But most of the time the emulation was really bad. I think GTA LCS is almost unplayable on the ps3 because of it.

I think theres a special arcade version full of bonus stuff.

I remember how some PS3 models have like the entire PS2 hardware inside them and it could run both ps1 and ps2 games.

There are a lot of people in South Korea that hates the US and Japan way more than the DPRK or China. There are still a strong anti-US sentiment in Okinawa and near US bases in Japan, these led to the 1960 and 1970 Anpo protests in Japan.
