Was that pure coincidence? This book explores what we know, and still don't know, about the origins of COVID-19, and how it was handled in China. We may never get all the answers, but much is already clear: China's record as the origin of earlier pandemics, and its struggle to bring contagious diseases under control; its history as both a victim of biological warfare and a developer of deadly bioweapons. When Covid broke out, Wuhan was building science parks to realise Beijing's ambitions in biotech research. Whoever achieves global leadership of the gene-editing industry stands to harvest great power and wealth. China has already challenged Western technological supremacy with 5G and in other industries. Yet this tiny, invisible virus has cruelly exposed a critical flaw in the Chinese political system: obsessive secrecy. The West wanted to trust the PRC, hoping that, as it prospered, it would become an open society. Made in China reveals how Beijing's leaders have betrayed that trust. 11947 Biotecnología China 26418 Pandemias Aspectos sociales 20385 COVID-19 6566 Innovaciones tecnológicas China 9001 China Relaciones exteriores Siglo XXI P lcc BK 0 0 lcc 0 0 HU BJB BJB HU 2022-10-05 0 TP 248.195 B395m 2021 00000165806 2022-10-05 00:00:00 1 2022-10-05 BK
