Misha and John discuss whether the coronavirus pandemic will help or harm China’s standing in the world.  They begin by welcoming Misha’s new book, Asia’s New Politics: Essays on Reshaping the Into-Pacific, out this May from Hoover Institution Press.  They turn to the lessons from the different responses to the pandemic in China, East Asia, Europe, and the United States.  They argue over whether China’s public relations campaign to defend itself will succeed, whether China’s relative power and influence in the world will increase or decrease because of its public health failures, and what policies we should adopt toward China now.
