I liked one of those bits, so, I'm going to elaborate on it:
President Kim Dae Jung of South Korea and U.N. negotiator Dr. Jillian Michaels travel to Pyongyang to meet with North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-il and members of the Chinese government to see about de-escalating the stand-off at the DMZ.
During a break in the negotiations, Jillian reports to her superiors that, while slow, the negotiations are progressing—the Chinese delegation do appear to be genuinely interested in peace and stability in the region. Her report is cut short by a massive explosion devastating the palace. China quickly secures the ruins, refusing any outside, including North Korean, assistance.
China declares that Kim Dae Jung had smuggled a powerful explosive device into the meeting and detonated it in an attempt to murder Kim Jong-il and his family. They accuse the U.N. of assisting in this assassination. China seizes control of North Korea and attacks the DMZ.
A stunned world condems China and demands their own investigation.--Though the event that inspired this happened in June in our world, this could easily have happened earlier in IST.
Obviously, China caused the explosion. Their own delegation didn't know about it, though they were actually the bombs. They sent those who were interested in peace and reconciliation with the U.N. in order to get rid of them. Dr. Michaels, through the discovery of her Metahuman powers, does survive to bring some of this information to the U.N. in the future.
