Description: The coronavirus pandemic that broke out in 2019 has finally calmed down in China after much initial bungling. Qin Hui offers a bracing reflection on the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on political institutions in both China and the West.
Review Quotes: Qin's book is a stunning reflection on the successes and failures of fighting the coronavirus in China and the rest of the world. As always, his goal is to cut through the rhetoric, the finger-pointing, and the chest-thumping to get to the simple, if chilling, crux of the issue.-- "from the introduction by David Ownby"
