Global leadership is a race between competitors, not some stand alone metric. For e.g. in a 100m sprint if the weather or track conditions are unfavorable, all the runners will suffer a drop in performance, but whoever drops relatively less will be the ultimate winner.
The same goes for COVID-19 with regards to global leadership. What's the point of just analyzing how China's international reputation has gone down (I'm doubtful of this, I suspect it's actually net neutral or slight positive globally) without putting it in relation to its chief and likely only contenders, US & EU?
Whatever "reputation" or economic damage done to China as a result of COVID is dwarfed by its effects on US and EU. China is talking about how to manage slower economic growth, US and EU in contrast are discussing plans on how to prevent a recession from turning into a depression.
Also I am very surprised that something coming out from CSIS (IMO a rather respectable think tank even if I don't align with their politics) is stating something as ridiculous as G7 suing China for US$4trillion like some sort of feasible and soon to be realized policy. Hello Bonnie, the G6 just rejected US's call to even make any reference of COVID to China and Wuhan in the latest G7 meeting, what rock were you living under for the past few weeks?
The whole world stood still and even dont know how to help China humilated by US over HK riots, which was initiated by US CIA...
HK riots was just like 911 repeat where US keep splashing HK riots for months trying to influence EU to allies with them for war with China..
And this was inline with Dracula Trump trade war to humilate China into submission to his threat. Beecock 做了太过分 得罪了这么多人....
If all matters, it shd be the world leader s stand up to denounce US scrap the Human Rights HK Law Bill now.... or face law suit by allied world leaders...
Obviously this HK bill was to humilate China for world world to know US will bully anyone that can do better than US in advance Ind Revolution and challenge them in advanced Ind Revolution military weapons with no end in sight...
