People's Republic of China

The People's Republic of China, often referred to as just China, is a single-party states located on the eastern coast of the Asian continent, though it reaches far west into the middle east.

Events in Deus Ex games
Essentially untouched by world events, China has emerged as a world leader, supplanting the United States and Europe as centers of education and industry.

However, China has been under the control of Majestic-12 for decades, the communist experiment in that country represented the Illuminati's first genuinely successful experiment in centralized government; Majestic 12 simply continued business-as-usual when they ousted the Illuminati's council of five. China is a welcome change from the less successful experiment in Russia and Eastern Europe. Now, with its centralized government, huge population and near monopoly on advanced human augmentation technology, it is the model of what the world will become under secret society rule.

Hong Kong, though a part of the Chinese/Majestic 12 empire, remains more chaotic than one might think. Though repression is extreme, the urge for freedom is strong and thriving black markets keep Hong Kong's tradition of free trade and entrepreneurism alive and well.

The Peoples Republic of China is visited in two Deus Ex games, both the first and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. In Deus Ex, China has not yet shed its communist roots, as curfews are in effect and armed military police still patrol the streets. Civilians are not allowed to own any firearm, and there is a system that can detect gunfire. Very little is known about China in Human Revolution, as the game has not yet been released, but it appears as though China in 2027 is very similar to modern-day China.
