Timeline: Mingtian

Mingtian, also known as Míngtiān, 明天, or Tomorrow, is a timeline written and developed by Vatiman. The timeline follows a hypothetical scenario where global Chinese influence begins to surge, and the United States of America's former glory soon begins to weaken as China's importance in the economic and geopolitical community skyrockets. Additionally, China has began brainwashing African children, primarily Malians, Ghanaians, Moroccans, and Senegalese, into believing that the United States is a weak country built on lies, fascism, and lack of cooperation between the two opposing political parties - the Democrats and Republicans. This has led to several youth majorities in Africa into believing that a one-party, socialist-like system is the key to true cooperation and prosperity in the world. Meanwhile, tensions between the United States and Russia slowly ramp up as many threats are thrown about by the leaders of both incredibly powerful states.
World War III is seemingly inevitable as thousands migrate to peaceful countries such as Iceland and Pacific islands to escape their fate. Formerly neutral countries, such as Turkmenistan, abolish their policies of neutrality in a method of achieving importance in international politics. Climate change worsens by the day as the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica boil faster. Countries such as North Korea and Pakistan begin mass-manufacturing nuclear weapons to scare other countries into submitting to their demands. The European Union is unstable as support for Frexit and Spexit rises exponentially with the success of Brexit.
Despite everything that's happened up to this point, this is not the end for the world. There is more of us in the future - tomorrow.
