WIP of a science fiction scenario I'm working on, set in the 2060s after a period of Sino-American Rivalry ends badly for the Chinese side, but resumes once a revanchist clique comes to power in Beijing and starts propping up some of the old malcontents from the last round.
Of course there is not a "war" in the sense we would think of it, rather it is an extended period of hostility marked by economic and cyber-warfare, espionage and saboteurs, and occasional naval engagements by mostly automated fleets in the world's straits.
Additionally, the Chinese-led coalition is not exactly a band of brothers, rather it is a group of schemers and rogues who are mostly focused on their own designs, allied with China out of expedience only, and not really wanting to play second fiddle to the Chinese again.
Finally, this map is made from the American POV.
