I watched an old Gene Roddenberry TV movie last night from 1973 called Genesis II. In it, an American scientist (Alex Cord) is sealed in a pressure chamber right before an earthquake, and awakens 150 years in the future. He makes reference in a flashback about the building of the world-wide underground sub-shuttle system used for military and political dignitaries....then he says if would never have been possible if not for the new United States - China Alliance. This would have been soon after Nixon's trip to China, so I guess Roddenberry took the opportunity to envision an Alliance in the future. What didn't he envision?

If I remember correctly, Genesis II was one tv movie that was part of a trilogy; one other being Earth 2, and the third I can't remember. They all involved post-apocalyptic visions of what civilization would look like in different parts of the world. One region was controlled by women who kept their slave-men drugged for work and sex. Not really that ominous a future, but Gene R. was a known ladie's man, and he probably got a big kick out of this TV movie.

Maybe hiatus was the wrong choice of words... perhaps extended break. Sorry for jacking the thread Jongsstraw.

If you think about it, the idea seems to be just a World Order Company NWO Mega-Corp but replace Japanese or USSR with a new flavor of China plus Socialism, the mix of language in Blade Runner, Total Recall a planet is owned, Weyland-Yutani from Aliens, Girl from Tomorrow 2500 Global Corporation and 'Ghost in the Shell' anime even looks like HongKong.

Maybe the tv show Flash Gordon add in Fascism with Fu Manchu Yellow Peril Imperial China and throw in a Bilingual Multi-culture multiple language Bonus ...others seem to have translator micorobe bots maybe computer translation from Dr Who, Farscape, Star Trek: The Next Generation and from Hitchhikers the Babel fish is a small, bright yellow fish, which can be placed in someone's ear in order for them to be able to hear any language

the immigrants....Eat Pets...yup those rumors went around after Vietnam and refugees and boat people, and you know what they do eat a lot of weird things in Asia.

and Star Wars Galactic Empire, I guess you could say East meets West, cowboys, King Arthur, Dam Busters, Flash Gordon and a strong injection of Kurosawa Space Samurai...the Blade Runner story, Japan Takes Over the World
and even Dark Matter 2015 on that spaceship Principality of Zairon is based on feudal Japan
there was also a fear the Soviets would be there forever, Russians with Rusting Rockets conquer half the solar system...there were even movies Red Dawn 1984 even the old star Trekthe Enterprise crew discover "savages" thought to be Native Americans, but turn out to be the American people who lost the war to "The Kohms," their name for the victorious Chinese Communists.

there was also "Ha Ha Ha America" he also worked with Mark Decena, Dopamine
