The dependence of the world market on the manufacturing center in China may further increase. As China took the lead in controlling the epidemic, it has now 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 medical supplies, medicines and other daily consumer goods 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 0/00 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 weak external strength and weak internal strength, and they fall off the chain at a critical moment. Especially during the epidemic, the United States' gloating and aggravating performance also greatly reduced its international credibility.
Second, the epidemic eased some international disputes and major events. For example, the dispute between China and the United States and Britain's withdrawal from the EU has been put on hold. 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 decline, but it will remain a world superpower, while the European Union will be marginalized, East Asia will rise, and the world economic center will shift to Asia.
Today's world pattern is one super and many strong. A superpower refers to the United States, and many powers refer to China, Russian, Japanese, European Union, Indian and other powerful forces in international geopolitics. 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 damaged the American economy, enterprises stopped working and the unemployment rate rose sharply; On the other hand, the impact of the epidemic on the global market will definitely affect American hegemony.
Europe followed closely and became the hardest hit area. Due to its backward economy, Russia's economic strength does not match its strong political and military strength. The real epidemic situation in Japan may be more serious than the data provided. The postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games will not only cause direct economic losses, but also greatly undermine the Japanese people's confidence in the country.
India's per capita medical resources are less than half that of China, and once the epidemic spreads, its national strength will suffer heavy losses. During the epidemic, China provided assistance to more than 100 countries in the world. 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 among China, Japan and South Korea are increasingly interdependent. In 20 19, at the eighth China-Japan-ROK leaders' meeting, the three parties unanimously decided to establish an * * * 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.
