It will begin with an overview of the diplomatic impasse that defined this relationship prior to the onset of the pandemic. It will then consider the ways in which the trajectory of the virus has shaped this impasse. Lastly, it will contemplate how the two countries’ relations are likely evolve in the post-pandemic regional environment, against the backdrop of the escalating Sino-US rivalry.
