The collaborative work pairs Badiucao’s visual artistry with Chan’s journalistic storytelling, creating a stark, dystopian vision of geopolitical conflict.
Set in an imagined future, the narrative shows the two superpowers engaged in open warfare, using the graphic novel format to explore the human and societal consequences of such a clash.
By framing the US‑China rivalry as a full‑scale war, the creators aim to provoke reflection on current tensions and the possible trajectories of international relations.
The book’s title, “You Must Take Part in Revolution,” underscores a call to action, suggesting that ordinary people may be compelled to choose sides or resist in a world torn apart by great‑power conflict.
