Hail the People's Republic!

The Chinese remnants are a faction in the Capital Wasteland appearing in Fallout 3.

Background[]

The members of this faction are the last known, scattered remnants of Chinese covert military operations in Washington, D.C., originating from a group of operatives under Captain Huang dispatched to use the Mama Dolce's food processing plant as a cover for covert operations in the D.C. area, linking up with other infiltrator units across the region.[1] While jobs and wages were provided, the operatives actually produced foodstuffs to maintain a reliable revenue stream independent of the mainland, though after strong initial growth, they had to seek alternative sources of revenue and adulterate the food with lumber mill by-products. Ultimately, rising domestic shipping costs cut into the revenue and viability of the front, putting its underlying operations at risk.[2]

Various members of the operation were given plausibly-sounding American names, such as Robert Whiteman (the plant manager), Thomas Jenkins, Michael Smith, Jonathan Apple, and Joe Jones.[3] Huang was in the process of successfully expanding his party's influence right up until the Great War reached D.C. and permanently halted his progress. [1]

At an undetermined point as the bombs dropped, the majority of Huang's operatives became ghoulified,[Non-game 1] and two centuries later, a handful of these survivors remain at the facility, still wearing their tattered Chinese uniforms and remaining steadfastly loyal to communism, still invoking Chairman Cheng's name in combat,[4] and despising Americans even two hundred years later.[5] The Washington remnants seem to focus on avoiding detection, trying to corner and eliminate their foes to prevent an escape,[6] and using overwhelming firepower to ensure no survivors manage to slip their grasp.[7] Their isolation deep within Arlington ensures they are unlikely to be discovered by chance.[Non-game 1]

    The Chinese Remnant faction is just that: the last, scattered remnants of Chinese military operations in the United States. These spies, intelligence agents, and special-ops soldiers were abandoned on foreign soil and have been kept alive these long years as irradiated Ghouls. There numbers are extremely few, and you are unlikely to encounter them in any numbers unless you should stumble across their cover operation from years ago, somewhere in the bowels of D.C...."
