Description

Covid-19 has precipitated a breakdown in trust between China and the West, eroding hope that the regime will change for the better as China becomes more secure and wealthy. This ground-breaking book looks behind Beijing's official narrative to show how the Party and its leadership think and act, exposing their strengths and weaknesses when confronted by the pandemic. We can discover as much about the PRC from the Covid outbreak as we can learn about the virus and our future by looking at the PRC. Jasper Becker explains why the Wuhan Institute of Virology is not just a building. It represents a huge national effort to wrest control of global technology. Following its success with 5G, China is now looking to bio-engineering for fresh opportunities to challenge Western commercial and military interests. It's possible that this strategy of reckless experimentation--particularly with clandestine bioweapons--led to an accidental release of the virus. 'Made in China' reveals these essential links between the pandemic and the future of international relations. Coronavirus has accelerated a process already underway: China will no longer be treated as a friend of the West, and vice versa. This historic shift will affect every sphere of our lives.
