With British Malaya not joining the war, it's a weird little oversight with the Australia assuming colonial holdings event where they take British Malaya as a puppet. Because Malaysia is a puppet, they can only be called in by their overlord. But since their overlord (Australia) is also a puppet, they can't call anyone into wars. So Australia doesn't get the option to call in Malaysia because they're a puppet, but Malaysia can't be called in by anyone else because they're Australia's puppet. At least I think that's the way it works, it's happened to me a few times.

After you mentioned HoI4 in China, I decided to check whether Bilibili, the Chinese RUclips, has any ISP reuploads. And I found that there we in fact two! The first was your NSP video with Bo, and the other is the start of the A2Z series with Afghanistan. Bo, meanwhile, has four reuploads, two of which are Vic3. None of the reuploads have subtitles. If you want to see what the Chinese HoI4 video landscape looks like, Bilibili's like the premium place for that.

8:57 It can be much easier to get this achievement + get a similar "By merit alone" (the main thing is not to forget to hire a new general right away) For nationalist China, we are defeating Japan - it's enough to throw them off the continent and make peace according to the script After we declare war on the allies and destroy their divisions in the cities that they control in China, like Hong Kong, because the divisions that sail there will have zero organization value (the main thing is not to capture cities). At the same time, you can declare war on Portugal and the United States so that they have extra access to the sea in Macau and have more divisions to destroy. I managed to get both achievements by 1943 in this way (I apologize for my English, not my main language)

If you overstretch an ordinary general a little bit by giving him 27 divisions instead of 24, or overstretch skilled staffer general a little bit by giving him 33 divisions instead of 30, your general can advance about 10% faster, since you have about 10% more divisions earning him points toward his next promotion. If with a field marshal you can still achieve around a 6 to 1 or better K/D ratio with 6 slightly overpacked generals instead of 5 slightly overpacked generals, then again the field marshal promotes faster, because he has 20% more total divisions earning him points toward his next promotion due to having that, 6th general's divisions earning the field marshal some extra promotion points. Short version: Overpacking your generals with 3 or so extra divisions each can cause promotions to happen faster, as long as you can still keep up a good K/D ratio. (A good K/D ratio gets you up to a 4x multiplier on each calendar day's promotion points earned, so you don't want to dilute the bonuses from the generals or field marshals so much that you are no longer close to that 4x multiplier.)
I remember doing this achievement. I conquered the world as the communists and then released the Soviets over and over again, battleplanning them each time. It took me until 1992, maybe not the most effective strategy
ISP, if you go to field marshals? (the little hat button with generals and officers if you want to promote them) you can easily citate them without having to scroll. Idk if it is one of a mod or if it is base game

You can declare war on nationalist china after annexing shanxi and use cavalry to rush them before the Japanese invade. I tried this once, you just need like fourty 2 widths and a handful of normal divisions. I couldn’t cap the nationalists before the Marco Polo bridge incident but I occupied most of china at that point and I got all the nationalists land in the peace deal
