the dependence of the world market on China's manufacturing center is likely to further increase. As China was the first to control the epidemic, it has entered the stage of rapid recovery. The world's major economies are basically in a state of insufficient production capacity, so the demand for China manufacturing may rise rapidly, and the demand for other daily consumer goods such as medical supplies and medicines will also rise sharply.
The epidemic has made the world see clearly the dependence of the world economy on China. In this epidemic, China has provided personnel, funds and material assistance to more than 1 countries around the world, fully demonstrating the due responsibility of a responsible big country. At the same time, it also shows the world that in the face of disasters, the United States and western developed countries are like paper tigers with strong external strength and weak internal strength, and they fall off the chain at a critical moment. In particular, during the epidemic period, the performance of the United States in gloating and adding insult to injury also greatly reduced its international credibility.
second, the epidemic situation has eased some international disputes and major events. For example, the spread of disputes between China and the United States and Brexit have been put on hold for the time being. On the other hand, the turmoil in the global energy market will bring risks to geopolitics that cannot be ignored. The United States and Iran are still at war, and geopolitical risks in the Middle East will further increase.
third, the biggest change in the world pattern brought about by the epidemic is that the United States will decline in its international status due to the decline, but it will remain the world superpower, while the European Union will be marginalized, East Asia will rise, and the world economic center will be transferred to Asia.
today's world pattern is one superpower and many powers. One superpower refers to the United States, while many powers refer to the powerful forces in international geopolitics such as China, Russian, Japanese, European Union and Indian. At present, the United States has become the country with the largest number of confirmed cases in COVID-19. The impact of the epidemic on the United States is reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, it has damaged the American economy, enterprises have stopped working, and the unemployment rate has risen sharply; On the other hand, the impact of the epidemic on the global market will certainly affect the hegemony of the United States.
Europe followed closely as the hardest hit area. Russia's economic strength does not match its powerful political and military strength because of its economic backwardness. The real epidemic situation in Japan may be more serious than the data provided, and the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games will greatly dampen the Japanese people's confidence in the country in addition to direct economic losses.
India's per capita medical resources are less than half that of China. Once the epidemic spreads, its national strength will be hit hard. China has provided assistance to more than 1 countries in the world during the epidemic. China's actions may bring certain geostrategic benefits to itself, and China's international status and credibility will certainly be improved.
At present, the economic ties between China, Japan and South Korea are increasingly interdependent. In 219, at the eighth China-Japan-ROK Leaders' Meeting, the three parties unanimously decided to establish a * * * East Asian economic structure, thus accelerating the economic development of East Asia. If this plan can be realized, there will be an Asian version of the EU. After the epidemic, the center of the world economy will shift to Asia.
