Don't take the game too seriously. As a Chinese, I've seen countless Ming explosions in EU4, followed by Russian invasions, Bengali invasions, or the occasional Korean and Japanese invasions. To be honest, I am quite surprised to see such a big Qing. Most of the time, Chinese Paradox players will laugh and find out which country they have become. It's like how France always surrenders in Hoi4. I can understand how that Pakistani bro feels, but a game is a game after all.

[@fawkewe]

This is because Manchu is one of the best nations in the game. Its a horde that represents the largest Chinese culture group and can easily invade the others due to being a horde. Its not that hard to beat Ming even when there united.

[@tahoru2350]

As a french I understand your example in Hoi4 when France always surrenders but i'm dont angry about it , its just a game after all. And in France we know that our ancestors fought hard even for 4 weeks so there's no reasons to be mad but a lot to be proud of.
