I find this so interesting. Oftentimes we talk about wars, and treaties, politicians and warlords as though most of the fate of the world depended upon them. Yet this single outbreak of a disease will probably do just as much or more damage to China than the trade war.
Now sure there are things that can be done and leaders are leaders precisely because they are halp to organize and deal with problems at a large scale like this, but there is so much that is still out of our control as humans.
It is humbling to think how vunerable we still are to mother nature despite all of our progrsss. Maybe that is something we should keep in mind more, how fragile and dependent we still are as people, nations and humanity.

- nabla9 7y agoThe loss of pigs in China affected heavily soy exports from the US, so it kind of became part of the trade war hurting US farmers.
- flatfilefan 7y agoThey say the low protein content of recent US soybeans was what affected their sales even earlier. I wonder in which relation these events stay to each other if at all.
