With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Show lore is stupid. The Zetan implications are also stupid.

The most sensible conclusion one can draw is that China launched first because it was losing the war.

China was getting its teeth kicked in once the United States started deploying power armor in significant numbers. After defeating the Chinese invasion of Alaska, the United States counter-invaded China itself and we know of at least two campaigns. The Gobi Desert Campaign, which saw fighting in and around the Gobi Desert, and the Yangtze River Campaign that at the very least saw the capture of Shanghai and Nanjing. And judging by some of the details given, namely the months spent fighting in Nanjing and Shanghai, they were advancing from west to east since they took Nanjing before they took Shanghai.

They also took Shantou, a coastal city further south that's pretty near to Taiwan. From what I recall, all of the above was actually before T-51 power armor went into mass production which was the model that really put the hurt to China.

Bethesda trying to clumsily insert these stupid conspiracy theories for who launched first is just dumb when the easiest conclusion to draw is that China was losing and decided to make it everyone else's problem.
