Producing a suitable heir to inherit the throne was an imperative for royals in order to extend their dynasty.

This thesis follows the reasoning of two key collaborators. Aisin-Gioro Puyi, the last emperor of China when in 1912 the empire was overthrown for a republic, became the face of the Japanese puppet state Manchukuo in 1932.
