Born in what is now within the countries of India or China?

Yes.

1,2,3,4,5,6,12,10,13,14,16,17,18. Real dead non-white human man born in what is currently part of China or India (in a region that is definitely not West or Central Asia, and has never been part of the Russian Empire) after December 31, 1799, but before January 1, 1901
7,8. Not primarily known for contributions to the arts or STEM
9,11,15. Well-known for a position in government or serving/leading in the military, but didn't serve as a head of state or leader of his country

Two questions left. For your hint, I'm just going to say that while there are an endless number of people this could theoretically be, this person is actually pretty well-known, at least in the US.

Free guess: Mao Zedong

Scratch: He was a leader

Scratched.

Peng Dehuai?

No.

I feel like someone needs to guess Mohandas K. Gandhi, so I will do that.

No, but I won't count this guess as he has already been an answer.

It is interesting that he fits, though.

Thanks for the freebie. The "provisional government" part of his life may or may not line up with your answers to our questions, but I will now guess Sun Yat-sen.

I have always thought that guesses that are repeats shouldn't count, because if a QM accidentally selects a repeat, people should be able to guess them without fear of being penalized.

Not Sun Yat-sen.

(Significant) Involvement in one or more of the following conflicts: Second Sino-Japanese War, Boxer Rebellion, Chinese revolution, sino-French war?

I was hoping someone would pick up on "at least in the US".

Another really fun choice by the QM.

Next round up later today: it will be a special round! (I have been saving it for some time.)
