Online Zoom Presentation: 

"CHINA'S CHALLENGES IN A POST-COVID WORLD"

Wednesday, 20 May 2020

11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (PT)

How might the coronavirus pandemic shape China’s interests, standing, and influence in the world? China has garnered international praise for stopping the spread of the coronavirus. But this praise has been tainted by the government’s refusal to take responsibility for the early missteps that led to the initial outbreak, as well as its turn toward a more strident and nationalist diplomacy. Whether the COVID-19 crisis can serve as a moment for China to establish itself as a global leader will depend on its ability to respond nimbly to growing international pushback and increasingly hostile interactions with the United States. However, for China’s leaders, domestic political pressures may stand in the way of a more restrained diplomatic strategy.
