I'm considering millenium dawn or kaiserreich, but I'm afraid they might be kinda lib? Any good marxist ones, preferably with a decent amount of China content?

With the recent updates, Kaiserreich has been getting better about representing leftist ideologies beyond the milquetoast reformist/wholesome "syndie"/red fash trichotomy it used to have, so I'll still have hope, especially when the Commune of France gets its update after Germany's (Syndicalist paths include some union-brained Marxists like Jack Reed or Oleksandr Shumskyi interestingly). For China in particular, there are certain Marxist paths for the Left KMT. To answer your question, not necessarily for "commie mods" but for those which have good commie paths...

Currently out or at least in stable alpha

Red Flood: Germany, Japan, Brazil, Iran, many in Russia, and so on. China seems to be just old or skeleton content but you can support Chinese and Korean revolutionaries as Red Japan.

TNO: Many Russian warlords from which you can reunify the USSR with and support non-playable commie revolutions around the world, plus some limited socialist/communist content for minor nations like Ukraine and Britain recently. There are some communist China-related submods like "East is Red" and "Ma Mod/Brave New World".

Rivers of Blood: More arcadey and not really complete but it's fun to tear stuff up as Rosa's Germany.

Equestria at War: No, I'm not joking. It's impressive just how well made this mod is. Lots of good communist paths which subscribes to the immortal doctrine of Caramel Marks, more recently like those in Zebrica.

Mods like New Ways and Rt56 introduce a lot of stuff for vanilla, though much of it is variable in quality

The many individual country mods for vanilla, even for Germany and Japan. Eight Years of Resistance is one that focuses on China and revamps a lot.

Some upcoming, in-dev mods made by actual marxists (though not necessarily ML)

Spartakus: Planned to release with Red Germany (duh), Reactionary France, and Civil War Italy. There's a public playable alpha that's a bit rough around the edges.

Reds!: Red America, USSR, South China (where the CPC-KMT United Front is maintained) and some socialist paths for France are planned for release.

Krasnacht: KR sequel mod under development. At release, America can go Marxist and West Germany is Marxist from the start.
