What might COVID-19 mean for, and reveal about, China\u2019s place in the world?The coronavirus pandemic started in Wuhan, home to the leading lab studying the SARS virus and bats. Was that pure coincidence? This book explores what we know, and still don\u2019t know, about the origins of COVID-19, and how it was handled in China.We may never get all the answers, but much is already clear: China\u2019s record as the origin of earlier pandemics, and its struggle to bring contagious diseases under control; its history as both a victim of biological warfare and a developer of deadly bioweapons.

Whoever achieves global leadership of the gene-editing industry stands to harvest great power and wealth.China\n\nMade in China\nWuhan, Covid and the Quest for Biotech Supremacy\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tra;
