China is indeed making money out of this crisis. A whole lot of countries, both highly developed and developing ones, had nothing else to turn to but to China for their supplies of masks, COVID-19 testers, ventilators, and so on. The manufacturing companies of these goods are now operating 24/7 to meet up with the huge global demand. However, many of these equipment failed or were dysfunctional. Moreover, a lot of massive orders are not met on time. These are some of the reasons why some countries are now trying to produce them on their own rather than rely them on a single country.

I guess this is representative of how the world will adjust more after this crisis. So I don't agree that this crisis will really propel China to the top. The world must have seen how the China-centric production of goods are highly disadvantageous. Earlier, when the lockdown was only focused in China, the entire supply of the world's goods are already severely affected. That is why I am seeing a more dispersed manufacturing and production of raw products in the years after this crisis.

If we look at the economy now, China is more profitable indeed. Because the conditions of the American and European economies
are getting worse.Especially with regard to the co-19 pandemic issue, China looks more ready to face it. Even China is now actively
selling health equipment related to the corona virus to several countries. China's economy is also more stable than other countries.
So I am not surprised that China will control the world economy after the crisis is over.

China certainly looks like the winner of this event but the question is... will the US allow that? When you have a president like Trump, I can't be sure about that.

If the US don't find a way to block China's advancement, In 10 years USA will be country like France. Only talk, some manufacturing but no real action.

Russia have the action. China too. That's a solid lose for the US.

I think that will depend on how China can rise after the crisis end, and how China can moves. But the fact is much product from China has been sent to any country. And we know that China is trying to rule the world in the economic field. But China will not go as easily with what they want because another big country like the USA will do many things to hold their moves. I think there will be another trade war between China and USA because each big country wants to be the king in many fields. But let's see what will happen later as we don't know when this crisis will end.

Trump is trying to get the US reopened as soon as possible, which should limit the economic hit it's going to take (though who knows if it's too soon as far as the outbreak is concerned), and I don't think the US in general is going to get killed economically when all is said and done.  So if that's the case, I don't think China will end up more dominant than it already is--but that scenario certainly could happen.  China is a huge country with a lot of citizens and a booming economy.

Also, I think this "crisis" is going to end up being shorter than most people realize.  It seems like life has changed permanently around the world, but this isn't going to last forever.  I don't even think it's going to last more than a few more months, but we'll see.

US will pull plants out of China

use india and mexico more.

maybe thailand and philippines.

china will take a hit on manufacturing goods for other companies in other countries.

the interesting thing will be does iPhone drop and hauwei phone increase?

This virus 🦠 shows a lot of world wide weakness in supply chains ⛓. It will be interesting to see how things shift about.

China's politics isn't as bad as the countries you wish to put the plants on. In China only the government will ask a percentage but put it in countries where politics are the worse, thy will rekt these plants down to its knees and still ask for more which is exactly the reason why they decide to put them on China.

Its best to just put in on their US soil and give the opportunity back to the US citizen. Unfortunately, some of these company's stocks are also owned by Chinese already.

As we see everyday many people are dying every day in Europe and America and their economy is going down every day and economy specialties are guessing that the USA will lose his position as economy king and china will take over and we are already seeing that china economy didn't drop much and there already making money in this crisis.

With or without coronavirus pandemic,it was expected that China will become world's biggest economy after a few years.The pandemic might speed up this process,after the western economies are seeing a decline.
But in terms of wealth of the population,China will never beat USA and Europe.
If Trump wins a second presidency,he will most likely impose new and higher import tariffs for Chinese goods,this might hit the Chinese economy.

US is suffering from a downward movement in their stock market and economy these days, the number of cases in their country is still rapidly multiplying and the government has nothing to do with that. Let's accept the fact that Trump is not a good leader and can't handle this pandemic properly as he is just panicking about these Covid-19 disease.

China will become more dominant, it is too obvious that this pandemic is started by them, we have no strong evidence yet that this is intentional but there are articles related to the biolab that is rumored to be the origin of the virus. I think that this is their strategy to become dominant in stock market and economically without any war.

Also, I think this "crisis" is going to end up being shorter than most people realize.  It seems like life has changed permanently around the world, but this isn't going to last forever.  I don't even think it's going to last more than a few more months, but we'll see.

The effect and disaster that this pandemic brought to us is already in the history, although it is not completely done and still there's no vaccine, the history is continuously progressing. It will never bring back the lives that this virus took from humanity, the economy, the fear and anxiety it brings to people. But I know that most of us will moved on after this and go back to normal when the cure is already invented.

that is because they are the first country that recovered but wait till other country recover too and start working again.

i just dont know if what rank was china based before but its possible that it can return to its original position soon    . the question should be china is now the king but does that really matter  ? i know china still do something to help other country . so we people must be thankful to them and not bashing them secretly  but i believe they already know if what other countries are thinking with them  .

This virus is serious, but it's not a plague that is going to devastate nations, it will all be over in a few months and economies will start start recovering. The global economy is not as fragile as you might think, something very-very big needs to happen to bring forth the doomsday scenario that people here like to talk about. The coronavirus isn't such thing.

Moreover, they have made the US angry with the coronavirus and WHO scandal. With that in mind, we should pray there will be no WWIII.

trump is desperately trying to deflect blame for american incompetence onto the WHO and china. it's definitely conjuring up belligerent sentiment from westerners, who are eating it up by the spoonful.

I mean, China is responsible for this shit, since they close their eyes on their wet markets, which are responsible for this and other pandemics, but Trump is also responsible for many unnecessary deaths in the US.

As a matter of fact, in terms of the Chinese economy, it has dominated trade and finance through its OBOR program. China is now advancing its military technology so that it can legitimize its economic dominance which also will in several decades increase its dominance of influence. Even though the United States currency war still dominates with its dollar, China has begun to echo the Yuanization by adding gold stocks in its foreign exchange reserves, besides that the dollar will slowly lose its hegemony if Islamic countries return to use dinars, dirhams or community currencies with gold collateral.

Warfare between China and the United States is a warfare between two major cultures namely China and the power behind the United States (the shadow). To show "who really controls the world, the shadow is always looking for enemies.

China with doctrine & belief that they are a great nation to count the plan shadows to change the world pendulum Industrial revolution will change world conditions, all things and algorithms, both China and America are keen to master 5G but China has made a big leap forward in its strategy he mastered raw materials and made smelter factories in many OBOR partner countries to support the grand plan of the world battery industry monopoly, not for gadgets but for cars, buildings, and drones. One plan is to change the game of China from a country with energy dependence to a country with energy self-sufficiency.

China and the US been struggling for decades, and so far China were winning in numbers, by buying the USA tax payers by providing loans to USA. The reason USA even needed these loans are in part because of an economy war between China and the USA. Currently at least 10% of taxes american taxpayer pays goes directly to maintain the loan.

The funny thing will happen when the US will declare that 1$USD = 0. I always found hilarious the fact that the USA has trillions of debt, but in the US dollar that they can print.

Either way we can only assume how this crisis will affect us for the next 1 or 2 years, but really what people should wonder about is what the world will look like in 5 years, and how to prepare for it.

The more I read about current situation, about history, predictions for the future, the more I am convinced in Satoshi vision as the only thing that can save normal people from slavery! China, USA, Russia, and all other countries, all that billions, strong economies, and we have kids that die from hunger! We have people who struggle to survive the day, while others live in houses with 100 bedrooms and 170 toilets!
Let's be clear on one thing, all big countries are big because they have weapon industries, they sell weapons, and they make wars in some already fucked up countries.
People need to wake up! We need to rise awareness and to see what they're doing and to stop helping them in that. I am sick of nations, borders, we are all same, we are all people! We should live like brothers and help each other!

Never think the US and any countries that got severly affected will not held china responsible. Yes china is the place where majority of manufacturing happens but they got money from the west and if these countries got affected are about to make china responsible for it, well I can't imagine that but something bad will happen .

This is the reason why Trump says the US is investigating about the source of this virus. Even at early stages of this outbreak, there is already conspiracy theory that it came from the Wuhan lab near the wet market. Where there's a smoke, there's fire. Let us see what this investigation will lead us to...

As we see everyday many people are dying every day in Europe and America and their economy is going down every day and economy specialties are guessing that the USA will lose his position as economy king and china will take over and we are already seeing that china economy didn't drop much and there already making money in this crisis.

Future world is technological world and China has already more advance into technology. If you say any one products that US market is much high price then China market because their labour cost is high. But China raw materials and high population so that they can easily make a products in chef rate. So if you want to buy a product in chef rate you must look to chain and this is their strategy. So no doubt that chain very soon lead world economy not only for nCOVID-19 but also their technology.

And I thought I was the only one thinking this theory, the virus started in their backyard and they managed it with minimal losses and they gained a lot when they start selling to the countries that are affected, soon we will see poor countries asking China for a loan or China buying some poor countries assets, looks like it's going to happen.

Even more? China already has enough power and strength.
I really hope that world will punish after the pandemic will over.
China was hiding everything and its actions caused what we see now. China should be tried as a war criminal, not less.

we don't know what will happen but I hope we can overcome this crisis. I also agree Chinna didn't really told us real death number but they did told us coronavirus is dangerous and they should have stop people that were trying to leave but they didn't stop them and because of it now the whole world is suffering.

There is no doubt that in the near future China will become the largest economy in the world, overtaking the United States. But that said, the COVID 19 outbreak will have a limited impact on this future course. The pandemic has affected both China and the United States. China was able to control it, but after many months of herculean efforts. It caused huge economic damage there was well.

As we see everyday many people are dying every day in Europe and America and their economy is going down every day and economy specialties are guessing that the USA will lose his position as economy king and china will take over and we are already seeing that china economy didn't drop much and there already making money in this crisis.

And I thought I was the only one thinking this theory, the virus started in their backyard and they managed it with minimal losses and they gained a lot when they start selling to the countries that are affected, soon we will see poor countries asking China for a loan or China buying some poor countries assets, looks like it's going to happen.

Its looks like that way and not only poor country is suffering many rich countries like the USA are having a hard time because of coronavirus right now it's hard to tell which country will suffer more because this is only starting if we don't find a cure soon we don't know what will be world economic situation.
