United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres Fish delivered the State of the world address to this year's United Nations General Assembly fracture.

Gu Terrace warned world leaders of the dangers of the United States and China working against each other in areas like trade and technology.

I fear the possibility of a great fracture, the world splitting in two with the two largest economies on hers, creating two separate and competing worlds.

In this example, a fracture is division.

In an organization or society, it is a crack or a brake.
