SCMP Conversations: Is Covid-19 a geopolitical game-changer?
30 June 2020

It is impossible to predict just exactly how the Covid-19 will impact geopolitics in the long-term, but initial signs of its potential impact have begun to show. Even before the outbreak, the US-China trade war was already revealing some cracks in the overall viability of global trade and supply chains. After the virus outbreak, the devastating repercussions to businesses who had benefited for years from the economic interdependence offered by globalisation have now made even the most optimistic prognosticators question what the new world order will look like in the coming months and years. At the center of it all are the US and China — whose policy and diplomatic responses to the pandemic are likely to guide the trajectory of global geopolitics for countless years to come.

Discussion topics including:
- How the pandemic will impact globalisation and trade patterns in the short- and long-term
- How Sino-US diplomatic relations are impacting global geopolitics and how these relations may evolve in the coming months
- How governmental policy shifts may impact businesses in the wake of Covid-19
- Key business risks that may develop as a result of geopolitical tension
- The future of economic systems after Covid-19

Speakers:
Dr. Dong Tao, Vice Chairman Greater China, Private Banking, Asia Pacific, Credit Suisse
Louis Kuijs, Head of Asia Economics, Oxford Economics
David Dodwell, Executive Director, Hong Kong-APEC Trade Policy Study Group; Chief Executive Officer, Strategic Access Limited

Moderator:
Zhou Xin, News Editor, Political Economy, South China Morning Post
