William Jones: No geopolitical room in the global fight against COVID-19
With the discovery at the beginning of 2020 that the world was facing a new and deadly virus, this should have been the time - and the opportunity - for the world to mobilize as one to ward off what could have become a deadly threat to humanity. We were not unacquainted with the danger of such a development. The SARS epidemic in 2002, and even the outbreak of AIDS in the 1980s, should have taught the world a lesson, namely that viruses would represent ongoing threats to humanity and that the world community should create the type of institutions that could effectively deal with such a threat. While the WHO has, to some extent, served that function, the extent of the present crisis has clearly shown that much more has got to be done to strengthen the global health system.

Kevin Rudd: Why the Quad Alarms China
When former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe invited officials from Australia, India, and the United States to meet in Manila in November 2017, Chinese leaders saw little reason to worry. This gathering of “the Quad,” as the grouping was known, was merely “a headline-grabbing idea,” scoffed Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. “They are like the sea foam in the Pacific or Indian Ocean: they get some attention but will soon dissipate.” Beijing had some reason for such dismissiveness. The interests of the Quad’s members were, Chinese strategists assessed, too divergent to allow for real coherence. Anyway, the Quad grouping had already been tried more than a decade earlier, with little in the way of real results.

Editor's note: Prof. William Kirby from Harvard University believes a longer historical perspective is essential for understanding the unique "China model" and its complexity.
