Editing Jack Ryan (character) (section)

====''[[Power and Empire]]'' (2017)====
Ryan deals with the Chinese once again, as a series of seemingly unrelated attacks in Asia, Europe, and Africa show their involvement. The Campus later discovers that a secret cabal composed of hardliners within the Chinese government are plotting to depose current president Zhao Chengzhi for his moderate stance on several issues of importance. The cabal plans to make Zhao look reckless, provoking Ryan to invoke the Ryan Doctrine and have him killed. Jack Ryan Jr. later prevents an assassination attempt on his father and President Zhao in the [[G20]] summit in [[Tokyo]], and the conspirators are later arrested for treason.

Ryan briefly appears in the next released novel ''[[Line of Sight (novel)|Line of Sight]]'' (2018), where he orders the destruction of a building in [[Bosnia]] containing stolen [[thermobaric weapon|thermobaric warheads]] to be launched by Serb extremists on a [[Serbian Orthodox Church]] event nearby as a false flag attack to provoke war between NATO and the Russians in the [[Balkans]].
