Xi embraces collective security through WHO

Chinese president – Xi  Jinping,  has found a cleavage  in the international community left by a void from  US  President Donald Trump's  tête-à-tête with the World Health Organization. To some extent, we have to agree with Mr. Trump's   response because he is responsible for the well-being of the American people. John Hopkins reports that over 91,000 deaths have occurred in America to this point. Trump deserves some blame for responding slowly to the crisis, however, Chinese officials silenced doctors  in Wuhan  province about the new coronavirus and its ramifications. One of those doctors has passed away from COVID 19.  Chinese culpability is high here and they will be unwilling to admit wholeheartedly their failures  because of the economic backwash that they will be facing. Supply lines inside China will begin to find new traction elsewhere  because FDI  will be skeptical about doing business on the mainland. XI,  offering 2 billion USD  today to the World Health Organization is a strong attempt to supplant American superiority on the international stage and looks viable. As with China, all things bear an "opportunity cost." Ultimately, the costs that are being borne out by nation states to recover from the pandemic and provide salve  to the families who lost loved ones, will be looking for compensation once the pandemic is under control and an antidote is established. COVID - 19,   in some respects has transformed China's place in the international community back to the period of Tiananmen Square in 1989, such as international fervour for trade and infrastructure projects with China most likely affected - long term. The problem for China, now, though is that the blinders are off after they were admitted to the World Trade Organization in 2003. The international community felt that embracing China through diplomacy and collective security would alter their approach to human rights and authoritarianism. This has proven to be a complete failure and nation-states will be and should be wary of China's attempt at diplomacy, albeit – authoritarianism, as a genuine solution to what ails the world  during  a pandemic and how best to manage their borders during a crisis. Xi  failed and must be held accountable for the mass deaths that have taken place, unnecessarily.  Furthermore,  the People's liberation Army has taken full advantage of the pandemic to exercise authoritarian control over their neighbors in the South China Sea. Nation states have to take a step back and reevaluate their relationship with the People's Republic of China and  base it on more than trade and economic matters.
