The coronavirus pandemic has overturned life as we know it, and the global economy is bound to be one of the major victims. After the 2008-09 global financial crisis, the extraordinary measures put forward by China and the United States had contributed to lifting the global economy. Nowadays, the animosity between the two countries and President Donald Trump’s “protectionist tendencies” run the risk to jeopardize the success of any strategy implemented to dampen the effects of the post-coronavirus crisis. What can we expect from China-US relations after the coronavirus crisis? Which scenarios for the upcoming US presidential elections? Will coronavirus prove to be an “electoral game changer”?
