If I'm not mistaken, Manchuria in 1945 was still majority Manchu at that point and without immigration from the rest of China it could stay that way.It's definitely possible for "Manchuria" to be independent in the sense that it's run by the Chinese Communists while the rest of China is under Nationalist control. But its formal name would likely just be the "People's Republic of China" and it wouldn't be Manchurian at all except for the minority living there. Probably people in the West would call it "Manchuria" for a generation or two before some scholarly types point out that it's better called "North China" or "Communist China" and everyone calls it that instead after the major media change their wording.
It stopped being majority Manchu in around 1900. In the late 1800s the Qing dynasty opened it up to Han Chinese immigration to counter Russian attempts to take it over, and they came gushing in from the heavily overpopulated Yellow River valley. By 1930 most of its 30 million people were already Han.If I'm not mistaken, Manchuria in 1945 was still majority Manchu at that point and without immigration from the rest of China it could stay that way.

If the CCP is destroyed in the encirclement campaigns then he isn't unlikely to do so.Is it possible for postwar Stalin to set up a puppet state in Manchuria, and for this country to gain international recognition?
They're majority Han Chinese so their culture is similar but it depends on who takes over.A scenario of an "independent" (puppet state) Manchuria always amazes me. Let's say it lasts all the way to the 21st Century. How do the Manchus identify themselves on the global stage?
Manchuria had being Chinese-majority since sometime in the mid-late 19th centuryIf I'm not mistaken, Manchuria in 1945 was still majority Manchu at that point and without immigration from the rest of China it could stay that way.
Taiwan and Singapore are the template for how the culture of a Chinese majority state look outside of traditional China properThey're majority Han Chinese so their culture is similar but it depends on who takes over.
Taiwan and Singapore have a very different culture, the first is different than mainland China from the beginning while in Singapore they are merchants who immigrated.Taiwan and Singapore are the template for how the culture of a Chinese majority state look outside of traditional China proper

Unlikely imo, plus the Karelo-Finnish SSR was set up just in case the Soviets managed to occupy substantial, if not all, parts of Finland. It was abolished in the 50s for being too useless.Maybe Manchur-Chinese SSR... (Also ethnic Karels were minority in Karelo-Finnish SSR)
