China, Trump and Covid-19

China, Trump and Covid-19: Three years ago on these pages I posed the question Will the Coronavirus Pandemic Derail China’s Global Ambitions?.  My answer: only if Donald Trump were to be re-elected as President in 2020 will China’s ambitions be derailed; on the other hand, if any of the Democrat candidates for president were to win, then China would not pay a price but would instead achieve even more power and dominance as a pliable and compromised Democrat party would be in power.
