Strategic Defense Coalition

Strategic Defense Coalition, or SDC for short, are the secondary antagonists of Call of Duty: Black Ops II. They are the Chinese strategic military alliance led by General Tian Zhao, and is one of the largest military alliances in the world during the Second Cold War after the NATO. They also appear as a faction in multiplayer, always opposing the SEAL Team Six.
If the player succeeds all the Strike Force missions with Zhao being killed in the last one, the SDC will become from antagonists to deuteragonists.
==History==
Formed by the Chinese government as a result of the start of the Second Cold War as well as the cyber-attack that crippled the Chinese stock market by Cordis Die's leader Raul Menendez, the other Asian member states of the SDC are Pakistan, Burma, Mongolia, North Korea, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal and Bhutan.
Led by General Tian Zhao, the SDC comes into opposition with the United States and the Western world during the Second Cold War, with Menendez pitting America and China against each another for his own ends.
===Second Cold War===
The SDC attempts to pressure Russia into joining their alliance by expanding their influence into key locations; India, Afghanistan and Iran. JSOC strike force, led by Admiral Tommy Briggs and SEAL Lieutenant Commander David "Section" Mason, opposes the SDC, knowing that if Russia joins the alliance, they will be the largest military force on the planet.
Depending on how the players perform their actions in the Strike Force missions, Russia, India, Afghanistan and Iran may become members of the SDC or they will ally with JSOC and join the fight against Menendez.
If the player succeeds all the Strike Force missions, the SDC will ally with JSOC and Premier Chen will be relieved during the introduction of "Cordis Die". SDC will send their drones to defend the U.S.S. Barack Obama from Menendez' drone attacks in the mission "Odysseus" and will also send elite troops to eliminate Cordis Die mercenary snipers in the final mission "Cordis Die".
If the player fails any of the Strike Force missions, the SDC will invade Russia and make them join in coalition. As a result, Premier Chen cannot support the JSOC and their allies. During the introdution cutscene of "Cordis Die", he will be hostile to President Marion Bosworth and blame the Americans for the drone invasion, which will result in the U.S. having a further bad relationship with China.
