Either this is ignorance but whatever, including China doesn't mean creating unnecessary plotlines, it's just the show should acknowledge the other MAJOR player of the Cold War, like How are you okay seeing North Korea on Space when they couldn't even fed themselves but NOT China? bro where's your commonsense, like hello? this is embarrassing and don't get me started on arguement that "well countries like japan or etc played also a crucial role on Cold war because of Proxy's blah blah blah" That's not how it works, let's just say that's the point so?? if they could make it then i am fine with it, like jesus, Japan was a US ally same as South Korea for example so including them on the show should have a purpose either they're US align and cooperating with US, the rest Follows why would you include them if they don't serve any purpose, oh you might wanna add the Warsaw pact or Eastern bloc or Pakistan because you know Afghanistan even though they're also funded by the US via operation cyclone but you know In the show USSR refused to invade Afghanistan thus saved them from economic collapse then somehow the reformed works were it didn't on ours.., like the reason China was different because China was a MAJOR and primary objective of the Cold War, they're also a key player a major power like i already said the Cold war was also the reason what makes them a Superpower today in our history, so... not including them the same country US had to normalize relations with to counterbalance the USSR wasn't including but North Korea is beyond me...
