AdvertisementUnfortunately, the world’s major powers are dithering, embroiled in divisive geopolitics rather than uniting in a common front against the disease, which is unfolding as the most potent factor in the remaking of the world order since the Second World War. On January 25, President Xi Jinping put the world on notice that China was facing a “grave situation”. The World Health Organisation (WHO) described the recovery as “perhaps the most ambitious, agile and aggressive disease containment in history”. Trump’s America has labelled the disease “China Virus”. Obviously, in remaking a new world order, coronavirus is hastening the decline of powers and accelerating the rise of others.
