The Canton Protocol Alliance Treaty is an alliance of communist and eastern-aligned nations centred around the Indo-Pacific Region, founded in 1961 following the Oceanykan Revolution. At the time, the strategic situation of the communist nations was dire; the Pacific Containment Pact (PACOP) had a decisive industrial, economic and military superiority over China and the Soviet Union. By allying with North Vietnam and Oceanyka, the odds were somewhat evened out. Particularly since Project 571 - the Modernist Coup, Sino-Soviet relations have enormously strengthened and even flourished under the administration of Deng Xiaoping. Access to bleeding edge Soviet technology, alongside Deng's reforms, have allowed China to modernise with enormous speed; its GDP growth is the highest in the world.
