Profiting from Covid-19 in China:
American supremacy in the world since the Second World War has been rooted in its unique capacity to get things done internationally by persuasion or by the threat or use of force. But the inability of Washington to respond adequately to Covid-19 shows that this is no longer the case and crystallises a perception that American competence is vanishing. The change in attitude is important because of superpowers, such as the British Empire. The Soviet Union in the recent past or the US today, depend on a degree of the bluff.
Profiting from Covid-19 in China cannot afford to put their all-powerful image to the test too often because they cannot be seen to fail: So, an exaggerated picture of British strength was shattered by the Suez Crisis in 1956, as was that of the Soviet Union by the war in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Patrick Coburn
Ten years ago the Great Financial Crisis sent the US backwards diplomatically, economically and reputationally and we never really recovered
It’s happening again. When the dust settles from the current epidemic our economy will be weaker, our reputation will be lower, and our faith in our government will be rock bottom low.
China, on the other hand, will leap ahead
Public relations: in Europe, public mood shifting away from NATO to China
– So, Credibility loss of the US mainstream media.
– Economy: Boeing bailout, many US and EU corporations will go bankrupt.
– Recession/ depression in EU / US
Civil Defene: Valerie Van Kerckhove:
I actually find the response by the Chinese government to be extremely interesting. So, it seems like it’s overblowing the matter on purpose. Considering the low number of cases (compared to China’s population) and low death rates it feels like the Chinese government is overblowing fears on purpose, with maps filled with dark areas and shutting down everything everywhere (and this is during China’s most important holiday season).
I suspect it’s practising for when a Really serious disease breaks out, the sort with people dying like flies. So I find all this fuss quite interesting. We’ve been warned about a potential superbug outbreak for years, and now we can see how the response will look like. No doubt the Chinese government is busy taking notes on what it could have done better.
Not to mention, I don’t think most Westerners realize just how big Wuhan is, just how significant Chinese New Year is in terms of people moving around and just how many people go in and out of those wet markets every day. That’s like, tens of thousands of people leaving the wet markets, taking public transport then going home to expose all their visiting relatives, and all those people, in turn, going to all sorts of crowded areas too. With a high enough contagion rate, we’d easily be at 1 million infected. Therefore, the fact that we haven’t reached such numbers means that this virus isn’t That bad.
Logistics. Continuity. How China’s chip industry defied the coronavirus lockdown
No wasteful stimulus. No reduction of interest rates,
DIPLOMACY: China contributes to global efforts of fighting COVID-19
