| Summary/Abstract |
While the world’s health continues to suffer from COVID-19, on pace to be the deadliest pandemic since the outbreak of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s, great-power competition is alive and well. It is, quite literally as the British say, in rude health. The COVID-19 crisis has injected an already-inflamed US-China relationship with new levels of ill will as each side blames the other for the disease’s spread and struggles to spin global opinion in their favor. The stakes grow ever higher as the blame game further aggravates US-China competition over matters of governance, values, and ideals.
