Waaaay to go China...All was looking well on May 27th, at the UN general assembly meeting. The Darfur conflict resolution, written by the USA, was ready to be amended by Sudan, and all was running according to schedule. It wasn’t until approximately 12:40 pm when the first emergency crisis broke out. The chair interrupted the Darfur talks with some breaking news. Through aerial photographs taken of the Chinese waterfront, it has been proven that China has secretly built a major underground nuclear submarine base. China’s possession of functional nuclear weaponry poses a huge threat to the safety of neighbouring Asian nations, as well as giving the United States of America a run for their hegemonic money.  However, despite the gravity of the situation, the immediate reaction amongst the General Assembly was largely lethargic. Delegates initially sat in near-silence, staring to the front of the room. It was difficult to distinguish whether nations were too shocked to formulate an opinion, or just plainly disinterested. As the Emergency meeting wore on, more updates on the crisis were presented. China was rumoured to be utilizing their nuclear submarines as leverage, in an attempt to keep Taiwan at bay from their strife for independence. America immediately came to the aid of Taiwan, while North Korea sealed their allegiance to China and hatred of the “American imperialist pigs” with a high five. However, moments later, delegates learned of a collision between an American and Chinese submarine. The Chinese nuclear sub sank to the bottom of the South China Sea along with 12 nuclear missiles and 97 sailors. In a swift defensive move, the supplementary Chinese delegates stated that their reasoning behind these nuclear weapons was to act as a defence mechanism against the incoming American ships. Canadian delegates were quoted in replying “Self defence usually only happens AFTER an act of aggression” in regards to the fact that there were no American Submarines when China mobilized their fleets to Taiwan. Any explanations that China came up with were faulty if not completely idiotic. The supplementary Chinese delegates were trying to convince the world that they were prepping for defence. It’s like they decided to perpetually punch the air for the off-chance that an assailant decide to pounce. The atmosphere of the General Assembly became unbearably tense. During recess, there were two defined huddles. The first contained China, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, and Somalia. The other contained The United States, France, The United Kingdom, Canada, and Russia. The urgency of hushed voices sent a certain electricity through the room. Rwanda was a little bit out-of-place, flittering from one huddle to another, appearing almost confused as to where their allegiances lie. Delegates from nations in the African Union were quite upset at Rwanda’s wavering tendencies, though America may see this as a perfect opportunity to reel in another vote to their side come resolution time. Only one nation remained completely uninvolved in any discussions; during every recess, the delegate from the Democratic Republic of Congo sat alone with only her placard and blackberry at her side, seeming quite content in remaining docile. The United States of America have practically declared war on China at this point in time, and the world is on the cusp of a complete nuclear war. “Mutually assured destruction is what they are bringing to the table now” Says a US delegate. In an age where there is enough nuclear material present to destroy the world 12 times over, this is a frighteningly valid reality. Delegates of the UN are too focused on fixing their nation’s reputations and clearing their names. No one even thinks to write an emergency resolution until it is too late. In a bizarre twist, it is the Somali Pirates that captured the sunken Submarine. The Chinese sailors and the 12 nukes on board are now in the dangerous possession of the world’s most feared villains. The world turns to Somali Delegates Abeer “The Big Hurt” Khan, and Nicky “Somaliavelli” Wilson, who had nothing more to answer with other than guilty smiles and funny-looking hats.   Lauren [
