=//Spheres of Influence in China//=


 * A **sphere of influence** is an area in which a third party organization or country exerts some form of indirect influence; affecting culture, military, and politics. This third party group is not 'officially' running those aspects of the country, rather, its immense strength indirectly takes over. A country or nation with the "sphere of influence" from a more powerful country, or empire, may become a subsidiary of that state, and serve as a satellite state, or colony. For example, the Japanese Empire, at the height of its existence, had a large sphere of influence, with their government influencing several aspects of Taiwan, China, Vietnam, and other states. Other empires, such as the British Empire, had large spheres of influence as well.
