Empty Rice Bowl

Like clockwork, drought has returned to central China. The central region's rice paddies are now mere vats of pulverized dust. China's ageing leaders intend to respond to this crisis the same way they have always responded, an opportunity to thin the ranks of the Country's 1.1 billion people. Unbeknownst to the ageing leaders, a new expansionist political faction intends on seizing power in China. Their goal is to take possession of Lake Baykal, representing one fifth of the world's surface fresh water supply, from a weakened Russian military. The bonus? China's vast armies would be in a position to cross the winter Ice Bridge in the Bering Strait & take the rich state of Alaska from the Americans. The new military-minded President of the United States of America does not intend to allow the endless armies of the People's Republic of China to just park their military machine 50 miles from the state of Alaska. So it's up to the forces of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command (JASOC) to cut the People's Liberation Army's supply arteries & rescue U.S. citizens being held hostage by the new communist regime.
