If future historians re-visit 2020, they will most likely conclude that the COVID-19 epidemic has changed the world's political and economic trends.

From China's perspective, the epidemic is an arduous test of China's governance capabilities. The epidemic was first detected in Wuhan where the city faced a new and unknown virus. Due to the fact that scientific knowledge has not yet been established and some local government officials have been underperforming. From January to March this year, the entire Chinese society was full of doubts, fears, accusations, and even anger. At this time, some Western analysts predicted that the epidemic may become the Chinese version of the Chernobyl incident.

The United States, as the world’s only superpower, is also the object of many Chinese people to look up to. The various incidents encountered by the entire American society in 2020 have completely broken the so-called American system myth, and also allowed more Chinese people to see their own country objectively and established self-confidence.

The Trump administration's various anti-science and anti-common sense policies have baffled many Chinese. Even the basic action of wearing or not wearing a mask may become a highly politicized issue in the United States, and it has indeed rewritten many Chinese people’s perception of the United States. Today, a large number of Americans still believe that the coronavirus is a scam, and 40% of Americans say that they will not be vaccinated. In reality, although the vaccines of Pfizer and Moderna will be launched soon, the epidemic in the United States has also entered the worst and darkest moment, with the number of cases in one day exceeding 200,000. In many parts of the United States, the convoys of people waiting for testing and people receiving free relief food have been running continuously for several kilometers, which should not have happened in the most powerful country in the world. Medical staff across the country are exhausted, and the images they cry on TV are heartbreaking. The number of medical staff infected has exceeded 200,000, and the death toll has exceeded 800. There are also data showing that more than 90,000 people have died in nursing homes across the United States.

China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years. Embrace the change and seize the opportunity.
