China greatly relies on America for their economy as well.
China made a lot of mistakes. They covered this up. The CDC and world health organization offered help weeks before it got so bad and they ignored the help. They were warned BEFORE it happened as well by a doctor who dealt with another coronavirus before it.
In addition where did it come from? Was it really a sea food restaurant randomly or escaped from a lab as even scientists from China have claimed.
They oppress their people so bad. They were hoping it wouldn't cause a scene and they could get away with it with just a few hundred who died from it... Instead of asking for help.
Italy is desperate and needs help from anyone right now.... Us in the future unfortunately. But when it's over China is going to have a rough time coming back from it. Communism doesn't work, and they're not making friends right now.
China is an authoritarian regime.
Communism is first and foremost an economic system regarding the means and ownership of production.
It does is not have a Communist economy by any means, so in essence yes it does work and has worked quite well for the rulers just not so well for well for some of the people.
The world already relies on China for many goods that is a fact.
And the rest of this story is yet to be told.
We will see how the global power structure and economies adapt once this is over.
