In this podcast [min 45], Insightview has asked Camilla Nørup Sørensen, who is an Associate Professor at the Institute for Strategy at the Royal Danish Defence College in Copenhagen, about the impact of the corona pandemic on global politics and the world order. Read also Camilla's latest article,DIIS Policy Brief, U.S. China Strategic Rivalry in the Indo-pacific - Security and Defense Policy Implications for Denmark.
The world order was changing rapidly before the coronavirus outbreak. The virus outbreak appears to have further complicated the global security situation. At first glance, China seems, in relative comparison, to have escaped the corona crisis "better" than many other countries, although this is a truth with significant modifications. That said, Beijing seems to lose the blame game.
We talk about who are the winners and losers. We touch on implications for China, Russia, the United States, Taiwan and Europe. Also, Insightview asks Camilla whether a second term for President Trump might turn out to be the last straw ending an already fragile relationship between Europe and the United States? How is the political situation in China and not least the position of President Xi Jinping? The world appears no longer to be the same. Everything seems up for discussion. The aftermath of the virus outbreak has only just started.
