History
With the rise of Xiaoping Deng to the top of the CCP, massive reforms were implemented to deal with the less savory aspects of Maoism. These reforms included large scale free market reforms that would work to some success, but which many Communist detractors would criticize. The people, in favor of these reforms, enjoyed Deng's policies, which would see them become even more radical. Maoism had effectively fallen out of favor, and Dengism became a dominant force through most of China. However, a growing undercurrent of dissatisfied Communists attempted a coup on the government which broke out into a larger civil war, this ended up with very unstability within the government. Given that most of the government was Dengist, the Maoists were pushed back to the edges of Eastern China, where they still occupy. After this, accounting for the unstability of the country, breaking up, ended up disolving the 1-party system and going to a Democratic Republic system. During the war, the provinces of Uighurstan (East Turkestan) and Tibet were granted independence in return for helping to fight off the Maoists. The territory of inner Mongolia was later occupied by the Mongolian Neo-khanate as the Chinese thought the territory would be better protected, while they rebuild. There is still some contention today about the territory's rightful owner. After the war, the Dengist government decided to implement a federalized system of governing, giving much power to the government of each province.

After the war, accounting for the rapid economic development China started to have, and influx of American and European immigrants brought with them libertarian philosophies and thinkers, such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Thomas Sowell, Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, and Hans-Hermann Hoppe, among others. This growing libertarian movement saw the party adopt some of these beliefs, causing the government power to be scaled back. This initially led to some trouble, however the situation is mostly stabilized and China's economy is growing quickly.
