Command & Conquer: Generals is an RTS from EA Games, and represents the beginning of a new story arc in the Command & Conquer series rather than being a sequel to any previous game. It's set in the near future, in a world where the US and China are the two superpowers, and an irregular fanatic group known as the GLA has emerged. Each of the three forces has its own campaign, and their own gameplay style (US - air power and high tech stuff, China - powerful units and lots of them, GLA - stealth and speed).
