Apophis and the Dawn of a New World Order

In 2024, the global economy faced upheaval as the U.S. and China emerged as competing superpowers. Their rivalry shifted when the asteroid Apophis was confirmed to impact Earth in 2029, threatening global devastation. Initially, both nations raced to prevent the disaster, but as their efforts failed, the markets began to collapse, particularly in the West. While the U.S. struggled with economic downturn and political instability, China fortified its economy and expanded its global influence. After the asteroid struck, China led the global recovery, establishing itself as the dominant world power while the U.S. faced a long period of rebuilding.
