US-China tensions threaten the fight against the coronavirus
US and Chinese flags are adjusted before the opening session of trade negotiations between US and Chinese trade representatives in Beijing, 2019.
Renewed tensions between Beijing and Washington threaten cooperation on halting the spread of COVID-19 and make completion of a landmark trade deal between the two superpowers less likely. And, countries everywhere are weighing the decision of when and how to reopen. But, there are no easy answers and no blueprint to follow. Also, for those stuck at home, especially with children, Japanese animator and former president of Tokyo’s Studio Ghibli released a video tutorial of how to draw one of the animation companies’ beloved characters from the film, “My Neighbor Totoro.”
