US and China aren’t cooperating on COVID-19
Commentary: US and China aren’t cooperating on
COVID-19 – but it wasn’t always this way
Intergovernmental cooperation between slotxo ผ่านเว็บ the United States and China
was an important part of the fight against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS) in 2003.
Yet serious collaboration to combat COVID-19 is yet to materialise. The state of US-
China bilateral relations and the failure to cooperate has arguably worsened
the pandemic.
Despite similarities between the two initial outbreaks, COVID-19 seems to have
deepened the antagonism and rivalry between the United States and China.
Many attribute the lack of pandemic cooperation to a preoccupation with the ongoing
trade and propaganda war. But signs of US-China cooperation on other issues, such
as recent mutual commitments to address the climate crisis, reveal that deteriorating
bilateral relations might only be part of the story regarding the failure to cooperate
on COVID-19.
A mismatch in perceptions on how to approach domestic health governance,
one that was not apparent in 2003, may also be playing a key role. |
