China puede aprovechar esta crisis

South Korea reported 556 cases of novel coronavirus, accounting for the second largest number of infections outside mainland China. Public gatherings were banned in the capital while the southeastern cities of Daegu and Cheongdo were declared ’special care zones’ after a cluster of COVID-19 cases was reported in the region in recent days.

Napoleón Bonaparte consideraba que China era un gigante dormido. "Déjenlo dormir", afirmaría, "porque cuando se despierte se tambaleará el mundo". Salvando las distancias, el covid-19 parece cumplir la profecía. China puede aprovechar esta crisis y su rápida recuperación para consolidar su ascendencia.

La eficacia de su autoritarismo puede legitimarlo como alternativa política; el restablecimiento de su producción puede copar la parte del mercado desabastecida por las cuarentenas en Occidente; y el poder blando que representa su ayuda médica puede ganarse el favor de la población mundial.

Hoy, con nuestro civismo, debemos demostrar que las democracias liberales también pueden con este coronavirus.
