As in this Current situation COVID-19 or Corona Virus has become a major concern for Rest of the world, it’s impact on the economy, health and infrastructure is astronomical.
But Every country in the world has started to doubt China's intention, where it is an accident or a failed bio weapon experiment. Now we can focus on the timeline of his corona virus surfaces in china.
A 55-year-old individual from Hubei province in China may have been the first person to have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the new corona virus spreading across the globe. That case dates back to Nov. 17, 2019,
According to the various Media Reports, the virus has spread from the Wuhan lab of virology. Where various virus studies and synthetic virus creations can be developed. It is too convenient that the virus originated in the city where, lab of virology has been studied and developed various viruses and cultures.
After the virus case emerges and reported in China, no preventive actions were taken and not any warning or any advisory has been given, cause only two things are happened, First as china don’t know about the virus and didn’t take any actions, secondly, china is known about this virus capabilities and let the infection spread to keep running economy as they were convinced any few of cases will emerged and minimum casualties going to happen. As in china During 2002 -2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus - an illness that originated in China and killed more than 770 people worldwide in 2002-2003. As per the comparison of corona virus 770 deaths figuratively very few. Because suspicions come true when China has dealt with a similar virus before and started to weaponize it. Ironically the virus started to spread where this virus is being studied and researched at wuhan lab of virology.
Now opportunity strikes when China reported to the WHO Country Office in China on 31 December 2019. Because when 1st case emerged on November 17 suspicious comes true when china started to lock down Wuhan on 23 January 2020,
On 30 December Dr Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital, sent a message to fellow doctors in a chat group warning them about the outbreak and advising they wear protective clothing to avoid infection. After his message circulated to the media. China imposed a lock down on 23 January 2020.
- 1st case of corona virus Reported on 17 November 2019
- Dr Li wenliang warned about virus on 30 December 2019
- Lock down imposed on 23 January 2020.
China has hidden the information of real infection data and numbers and continues to trade freely and not taking any preventive measures which shows some hidden agenda is being played. Reason for hiding the information is only to defend the economy or incompetence to handle the outbreak is still a mystery.
After the Spreading of corona virus Europe and rest of the world,The US has by far the largest number of cases with some 672,000 confirmed infections, according to figures collated by Johns Hopkins University. This is more than eight times the number reported by China.
The US also has the world's highest death toll with more than 33,000 fatalities including more than 11,000 in New York City alone.
Italy - the worst hit European country - has recorded more than 22,000 deaths while the UK, Spain and France have each suffered more than 14,000, The outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March. This is when an infectious disease is passing easily from person to person in many parts of the world at the same time. Now China is playing the sympathy game by sending four billion masks, 16,000 ventilators, 37.5 million pieces of protective clothing, and 2.84 million corona virus testing kits that have been exported to the EU. but fewer of European countries. At first glance it looks like a very good initiative but in reality China has exported mostly sub standard products to the EU.
One of the most affected countries, Spain withdrew 58,000 corona virus testing kits purchased from a Chinese company on March 27, after it was revealed they had a mere 30-percent detection rate.
Netherlands recalls defective masks imported from China. The Chinese embassy in Spain said the Shenzhen Bio easy Biotechnology group, which supplied the kits, did not possess any official license from medical authorities in China to sell its products.
On March 31, China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) said corona virus test exporters must obtain a registration certificate before selling their products.
The Netherlands recently recalled tens of thousands of masks it said did not close over the face properly or had defective filters.
When the corona virus infection spread in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, over a dozen countries including Turkey and France, sent humanitarian and medical aid. In return China sent substandard products to the world & keeps doing business in people's coffins.
"At the end of the global pandemic, not only world leaders, but all people all around the world will form a very personal opinion about China. And China's future in Europe and other countries look not so well as many countries are suffering from China's incompetence to handle the situation. And started to blame China for the current situation. Which is not good for china.
Initially many countries now thinking a alternate sourcing options other than china because the countries that have a high dependency on China for goods--especially small components and parts--have suffered. Market experts fear that the world's over-reliance on China will continue to hurt global growth until the virus is contained.
Economists say the disruption caused by the virus in China could pave way for more foreign investments in emerging economies like India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam as the world looks to reduce dependency on China, the largest manufacturing hub in the world.
Experts feel that India has a good chance of becoming an attractive manufacturing hub given the present situation, provided the government tweaks some of its trade policies to bring down commodity prices, also India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam has very young workforce. The corona virus outbreak in China provides a good opportunity to India to expand trade and follow an export-driven model, India has been following the same pattern in terms of mobile manufacturing in the country. So, if one looks from this perspective, it provides a good opportunity for India.
In this context, India is very well positioned to help build a more dynamic and sustainable world. Based on the Global Competitiveness Index, India is the most competitive country in South Asia. India has a competitive advantage in the services including the Information Technology Services, Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Medical tourism sectors. Right now, it is particularly ripe for market reforms in view of the solid platform created by Make in India and Invest India initiatives of indian government. India also looks at economic slowdown due to the pandemic. Once the pandemic is brought under control, India must actively engage in rebuilding the world economy. The world must think beyond naked profit and look to shift manufacturing and sourcing the services to a democratic and competitive nation which guarantees basic freedoms, is committed to reforms and can continuously adapt and innovate to changing global market needs. That is the essential economic take away from the catastrophic disruption of supply chains due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
China’s reputation has taken a bad dent and no way of returning to the former glory of dragons. Henceforth Europe, USA and other countries will think and redesign their trade deals with china and mostly china will fall on ground that time will decide. .
