In this second installment of Beyond Your News Feed: Virtual Edition, Professor Susan McCarthy joins us to unpack the origins of the virus, COVID-19. Professor McCarthy helps us to trace back the discovery of the virus in Wuhan, China and analyze how the Chinese regime reacted initially. Furthermore, we delve into the details of the regime's response to the virus, the impact of the pandemic on Chinese foreign relations and on Chinese economic projects including the Belt and Road Initiative, and where China stands now on the global stage.
