How times have changed rapidly! Yesterday, the integration of the economy of China into the world economy was paramount. For decades, Westerners were hoping to reform the communist totalitarian regime in China by opening up the Chinese market and economy.
Unfortunately, the political reform efforts under Deng Xiaoping were latest undone when Xi Jinping chose to be anointed to be the next dictator for life a la Mao in 2018.
Made in China and the Road and Belt initiative have been very smart moves by the Communist Party of China to gain global influence if not domination at very high speed and very large scale.
Now, the coronavirus has driven home the message that the Communist Party of China has not changed at all. It resorted to the usual active and massive spread of disinformation, pervasive censorship and oppression of dissidents, almost total secrecy, refusal of international aid etc.
Global supply chains depending on China need and most likely will be scrutinized and adjusted.
Let’s hope the coronavirus is the final nail in the coffin of the Communist Party of China!
