What kind of a country dares to take military risk abroad in the face of ongoing pandemic, droughts and floods, and other natural disasters? What kind of a country dares to simultaneously fight on three fronts – separatist forces internally, long-term artillery battles externally, and still actively provoking the world’s largest industrial nation?

Science fiction writers, however, have made a point of doing just that. With the devastating effect of the epidemic and a worldwide rise in state-sanctioned authoritarianism, science fiction has been approaching reality at an alarming rate in recent years. But how do Chinese science fiction writers, who have spent much of their lives writing imagining dystopia, react to ultimately live in one? How does reality match fiction?
