Second Cold War

Diplomatic action

2016-2104 CE

A long period of tension, rivalry, and occasional conflict between the United States and China. Unlike the First Cold War, the two rivals often found common ground in dealing with climate change and other threats to global stability. As such, tensions were significantly lower during this period, and the majority of conflict was in espionage and economics. It ended when both nations were absorbed into the United Nations in 2102 and 2104 CE.
