China in 1836 with all its substates

Yunnan is a substate of China and is placed in South western China. It is the second largest behind Guangxi and it clearly have the potential to be succesful on its own. Its biggest weakness is that it is unable to declare war and that it will be annexed by China when/if it westernizes. On the other hand it will become fully independent if it westernizes before China. It is only present in AHD and HOD. In vanilla it is releasable as Yunnan Clique.

After Yunnan westernizes, it will become fully independent, but China can still be a threat as China has cores on all of China proper, and it will start conquering the missing pieces once the sub-states are independent. China has bigger army than Yunnan, and therefore one have to seek out allies to defend itself. United Kingdom and Russia are the strongest allies, and will potential remove the threat for good. Alternatively Japan, especially after westernization, and the other substates can be good allies.

If China westernizes before Yunnan, they will annex it.
