That's what I was thinking myself. A certain powerful and extremely populous Asian country, whose power system is utterly impervious to outside infiltration and unfettered by democratic concerns, sees a new party easily rise to power in the one world superpower, and it's a party welded to a corporation that wields immortality drugs and battle androids straight from the future? I think the Doomsday Clock jumps to 11:59:59. China can't win against the actual current USA and much less against the hypothesized United Slavery of Genesis, but they can introduce the playing group to a brand new post-apocalypse campaign. Or if the leaders of the megacorp don't want that, they can be forced to share their patents and tech.
