The 2020 pandemic and economic impact is changing the world, its political, economic relations. It changes the way people think, showing them all the fragility of modern civilization, which has created unique technologies, established many international organizations, developed stable connections between them, but remained unprotected against the virus and its social, political and economic consequences. What is happening to Chinese society and the economy and how sustainable will they be under the impact of the epidemic? What is the real essence of the US-China standoff, why did it escalate so sharply during the pandemic and how will Europe and Russia behave against this background? How did China manage to overcome the coronavirus epidemic in such a short period of time, and how frank was Beijing in its information about the scope of the disease?
This book includes a series of scholarly essays, it was written at a time when the global pandemic had not even entered its final stage yet. Therefore, it is very difficult to give a complete and consistent picture of the situation.
