Sorry but spoilers are a coming. The Chinese 3rd chapter overlaps the 2nd Russian chapter in an epic communist war. Unbeknown to the hero, the Chinese are secretly funding the Russians war on Ukraine to test the west's response. But when the chinese see that all they get are pussy ass sanctions from the west, they realise now is the time for their war on Taiwan.
To cut a story short. We, the west(hero), let commies run all over the place starting wars and doing land grabs and we do absolutely nothing.
Sorry to spoil the ending. Let's see what book I can ruin for you next week.
Peace out !
