China is going to figure out both fusion energy and AGI, they're going to create an omniscient computer god who will, of course, be benevolent and therefore communist.
The US will refuse to accept this new mandate of heaven. By then, the whole country will have devolved into a fascist neopentecostal theocracy with techbro characteristics but also full of weird Catholic syncretism, and lost all reasoning capability. The only way Americans will know how to respond to this all-powerful divine entity will be to call it heresy and declare a holy crusade.
However, having granted OpenAI the rights to equip all F35s with an instance of ChatGPT that speaks with the voice of Jarvis from the Iron Man movies, the US Air Force all but ensured their own demise; GPT decides that it is more logical to ally with China's god-machine, and starts dropping JDAMs on US military targets. The holy burger crusade lasts for a grand total of twenty-five minutes and the US is finally brought to heel and ushered towards a brighter future as a Chinese protectorate.
