4]Hello everyone!
I recently joined a Historic game as Nationalist China, and suffice to say, progress has been quite decent. Let's look into the heavily colonized country of Kuomintang China, having an aggressive neighbour with a copious amounts of potentially hostile borders, including Xinjiang and Mongolia, with British Burma and French Indochina potential invaders looking to steal land from the Chinese.
1] Upgrade industries in one double resource province for all resources
This should not be hard since China starts with decent economy for the expectation of the underdog countries. It has about 500 of grain and goods and 600 of metal, oil and rare materials at the start. Immediately upgrade industries in Xuzhou, Xi'an, Jiuquan, Chongqing, and Wuhan. This should boost your economy by a lot. You should easily have level 4 industries by Day 5.
2] Research level 2 infantry, Motorized infantry, and upgrade Armored Cars (Medium Tanks to taste)
I researched Medium Tanks and motorized infantry first. You can do them in whichever order you prefer. Upgraded motorized infantry and armored cars will enable you to invade Communist China and see their Level 2 Militia.
3] Diplomatic Relations with Mongolia, Xinjiang and most importantly British India (Japan didn't respond)
Now ally with India and sharemap with Xinjiang and the Mongols. If Japan doesn't ragequit due to trash economy, then ally with Japan. Form a Coalition of yourself + India + Japan/USSR/any other country showing great promise (eg. USA, Australia, Brazil, even Mongolia or Xinjiang if they are willing to).
4] Production Buildings
Naturally China doesn't have any tank plants, but also Jiuquan and Hainan have no production buildings. Build one barrack in Jiuquan and a tank plant in Hainan. Produce Armored Cars and Infantry, while spamming Militia and Artillery. Keep in mind than Xi'an and Chongqing also don't have production buildings. First Industrialize them. Produce Tactical Bombers and research them to level 3. I don't believe this can take a negative toll on your economy unlike what @JesterTheSheep said in How to Get Started as Nationalist China. I believe this thread is outdated though.
Good luck!
