Товч агуулга:I used the example of the dragon’s teeth of Greek legend for the title of my 2004 book to convey the destructive and frightening quality of the malaise that Western leaders in their shortsighted eagerness to do business with China were introducing into their economies, national security and even democratic systems of government.
But now, twenty years later, the dragon malaise has metamorphosed to become an actual global pandemic. Nonetheless the economic origins of the pandemic are clearly discernible, most particularly in the shocking cases of the major outbreaks in Italy and Iran, making them the second–and third–hardest hit nations after China (as of March 15th 2020).
