The @The Qing House is a relic of imperial China, restored under foreign influence after the chaos of revolution. Though the emperor sits on the throne once more, real power lies in the hands of generals, advisors, and foreign backers.
To some, the Qing represent legitimacy and tradition. To others, they are puppets of external powers, particularly the Germans.
In Shanghai, Qing loyalists operate through bureaucracy, elites, and conservative networks. They seek to preserve hierarchy and stability, fearing that any true change will plunge China back into chaos.
