Four months into the COVID-19 outbreak, the pandemic with its epicentre in Wuhan, China has notably shifted the normal into unforeseen territory for China and the world. While China has managed to largely contain the domestic transmission of the coronavirus, its impact on the country’s politics, economy and society has been profound, far-reaching and still unpredictable. The ICS Conversation explored the related issues, including implications of China’s handling of the pandemic for its image and its geopolitical aspirations amidst a vastly altered international context.
