This crisis is the best thing ever in laying down the reality that despite the West wants to play the diversity game, in the end, race is still the main determining factor.  But it is mostly in the Anglo-sphere.  The extension of the British empire.  Non-Anglo Europe is more enlightened. While there maybe be racism in non-Anglo Europe, it is different. Kind of like the kind you see in China or the Chinese in general. Anglo racism is deep-seated and based on the delusional superiority that has gradually lost its shine since the 80s.

Covid-19 separates out the truth from the BS.  Brings out the best and the worse of people.  Laid bare the BS.  China is in a good position to come out of this stronger.   

On the PR front, China needs to either keep quiet or get better PR strategies unlike the juvenile ones they always put out.  Engineers are too stiff to dictate PRs. They need artists, creators.
