You are currently on track to have enough food to get everyone on Guangchou two meals per day as a median. Starvation wiped out, with malnutrition replacing it as the main issue, for the next few years. If you continue to devote at least 2-4 Actions per turn to food, you will see that quality rise, alongside the fall of any medical issues due to lacking vitamins, proteins, etc.
This is assuming that you stay ontop of the explosion of babies being born, as you finally have enough food to have left the "Scraping On Constant Famine" area for the "There Are Shortages" one.
So you can save NK from its famine, but you'd need to continue spending Actions with focus.

When it comes to North Korea. even though we are Communist. I'd rather they'd be completely unified and whole as a buffer against Capitalists or communists. either way works as long as NK doesn't exist by the 2020's

Ahh, the Real Dream of Man a Fair Unifed Semi-Socialist (but not really), democratic Korea.
With the Kim Regime hanging from a Tree being optional.
The Real Treat is screwing over the CCP and making them sweat.
Ahh, Beutiful...

Old Man Mingsu's team of annoying communist teenagers might want to do some damage to Japan in 90-th. How people feel about it? Not in a sense of a nuclear weapons, but some small time terrorism of American basses. For example - give the whole personel of basses diarea that would last for a month. Or begin indoctrination of weak willed Japanese people into some form of cult, to provide more money for red revolution.

No do something that will waste their time. Like leaving tact's on the flight line and make all the airmen do a walk on the flight line.

Heh...when you can fly and bomb nearly any place on earth near on demand and can deal with most airforces like they did in the Gulf War?Holy shit, that's so true, American planes are spoiled divas.
Some of their planes are billions of dollars and they WORK!
Afgan evacuation showed the work the Airforce puts in on a motivated day.

What? No. That is an evidence. And much harder to blame on local terrorist or some mistake in logistics and stuff. Much easier would be blowing up a plain or some service car in an intersection point of an airfield.
Or.. Idk building an airfield or an airport for America with several specific structural weaknesses that would case those roads to crack up violently in a few years or in a specific weather conditions.
Or introduce new dangerous or simply harmfulinsects to the American ecosystem.
Edit
Or make some violent protests of minorities. Homosexuals, Homophobic, People from Belgium etc.

Oh sorry I though we were talking the Airforce equipment in general.I know, it's just hilarious to contrast an American and Soviet airbase.
*Recalls Soviet Airbases*
Yeah, the US Airforce can work but damn are they picky when choosing where to land..

It's a shame that Star Trek TOS ended in 69, because if the Klingons are the Russians, and the Romulans are the Chinese, then Guangchou is like... the Remans, but queer coded.
@HeroCooky , could i trouble you to give Reputation & People's Opinion costs for the following?
-[] Construct Low-Tech Consumer Goods Factory - Rather that making the immediate jump to a late 20th century standard of living through the expensive import of foresign consumer goods, this simple factory mass produces simple solar and muscle powered appliances and tools that can be made quickly and cheaply and still impart a sizable improvement in quality of life. Some of the items manufactured include: Solar Dehydrators, Rocket Stoves, Composting Toilets, Solar Autoclave, Geared Hand Drills, Pedal Powered Tools, etc.
Heavy Industry
-[] Construct Geothermal Industrial Park - The low exergy heat that is otherwise wasted by a geothermal power plant can be put to productive use when paired with other industrial processes that benefit preheating chemical precursors or accelerating drying or evaporation processes. While concentrating industry in this manner makes it vulnerable to disruption from enemy attack, it also allows for the commensurate concentration of our own defenses, as well as allowing for more efficient production of materials with lower environmental impact.
–[] Chemical Plant
–[] Power Plant
–[] Paper Mill
–[] Oil Refinery
–[] Aluminum Smelter
–[] Metal Recycling Plant (We don't have enough waste metal to recycle???)
-[] Expand Your Train Network (Helpful)
–[] The Central Trunk Line - A mammoth project that will see multiple tunnels dug out from the mountainside and numerous bridges constructed so that heavy trains can move from one end of the island to the other along the most economical path.
-[] Revamp Your School System (Helpful) (-4 Reputation)
–[] Reject the primitive exam and rote memorization based system of the Queendom and institute an educational system based upon Scientific Pedagogy that emphasizes the creation of an environment that supports the individually directed growth of each child, allowing them to discover their strength and weaknesses and grow into their best selves - 'From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs' applied in the classroom. (+China Opinion "Wow, this is totally different from how things were done by the monarchy!")
[ ] Durable Goods Libraries - A good way of improving quality of life without needing to produce too many consumer goods is to implement a program where people can borrow more infrequently used goods from a central storehouse - things like vacuum cleaners, specialized cookware, hand tools, etc. The libraries can also double as social and entertainment spaces by including a television or radio depending on the size of the library and the number of people served, and these activities act to draw people to the library, increasing their familiarity with it and their odds of using it.
[ ] Rationalize the Language - Gunagchou is an unholy combination of Chinese and Japanese, with enough loan words from Korean and Malay to make up a non trivial portion of the overall syntax, and more exceptions than English. And it's written with Hanzi characters that often don't match their Mandarin counter-parts, and never mind that the grammar and word construction don't always line up. Even before the systematic destruction of the island's infrastructure by the IJN air raids, literacy in Guangchou was among the lowest in the Asia-Pacific - largely because the language was simply a massive headache to learn.
With the impending establishment of a robust schooling system - a keystone of the current five year plan - we have a golden opportunity to correct this and grant the nation a competitive advantage in international relations in the future. Guangchou will be rationalized and streamlined in order to make it easy to understand, pronounce, and read. Special care will be taken to make it more phonetically and syntactically compatible with the languages spoken by Guangchou's geopolitical allies and opponents: Russian, Mandarin, English (the first two being close allies, the later their greatest threat). (+++ Chinese Opinion "Holy shit, these gays are serious about the Cultural Revolution!")
[ ] Create the Guangchou Survey Corps - Form a body tasked with the methodical survey and preservation of Guangchou's geological and biological resources - from undiscovered veins of minerals, to plants and animals that can serve a useful purpose (or can be bred to do so). (Roll 1d20 every turn, on a 20 something useful is found?)
[ ] Begin Marine Farming - While naturally occuring kelp forests are an excellent source of food, the harvesting process can be improved by allowing the kelp to grow on lines that float on the surface, such that they can be easily harvested by boat without the need for divers. The yield of a kelp farm can also be improved by cultivating mussels, scallops, and oysters in predator-proof containers, as well as laying traps for shellfish along the bottom.

...I didn't know that I needed Guangchou to have a Star Trek Stand-In, but I sure as hell am canonizing that now!It's a shame that Star Trek TOS ended in 69, because if the Klingons are the Russians, and the Romulans are the Chinese, then Guangchou is like... the Remans, but queer coded.
Sure, but I'll do that after work, it's too early here right now for that. (5am)

Considering the landmass we live on, I'd hazard a guess that we're already doing recycling to an extent. It would be an absolute necessity considering our nation's very early focus (before the quest/game officially started) on industrialization.
Note: 93… my quest for the elusive 100 continues…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but it's just a thinly veiled retelling of the Iwo Jima incident, and the plot is just Roddenberry simping the social revolution far an hour.
(Because hoooo boy, have you read his wiki page?)
Edit: Wait a minute. Why is building an IT based electronic factory suspicious? Isn't Guangchou super isolated? Is it the SR-71 overflights that make it obvious?

I think the issue is people look at what exactly we make, and wonder how the hell a backwater made something so advanced.Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but it's just a thinly veiled retelling of the Iwo Jima incident, and the plot is just Roddenberry simping the social revolution far an hour.

Who wonders tho? Our own citizens? The... handful of PRC staff that... probably don't range too far from the capital?

More in line with you being seen as China's Rare Earth Piggy Bank (reinforced by you making a deal to build more mines way back when, and you shipping all the dug up stuff straight to the mainland) and the fact that you shouldn't have that kind of technology.
Also, those would be Iron Tiger Electronics.
Which are equal to the ones the US produces.
But much more durable. To a degree that makes any observers stop and go: "what the fuck?"
And because you'd use them in projects/factories/military installations/etc since Jungmin would be all over making an electronic plan economy.

Hmmm, so would keeping IT tech confined to the military at first (like, it's obvious we'd have a new air defense system, but it's not made of mechs so they have no reason to think it's super advanced) slow down the rate at which suspicion is generated?

Yes, but you'd need a factory to do anything of note with the electronics.
Without, you can only really produce enough capacity to maintain a single base' worth of terminals and connections per turn+action.

Could we make a military factory? As in one staffed with like... reservists? It only needs to stay secret for a few years.

...mmh, I'll allow it, but it will have reduced output due to the increased secrecy/security needed for the outgoing products.

If we go for a discrete production facility, making it an expansion to the current research compound would be better I think.

That's a good idea - I'd like to transition our military over to IT based tech before going public so nobody gets any funny ideas about not respecting our sovereignty.
