And to put an end to the propagandist discourse, China did not need to steal American know-how, the Americans brought it to China, by simple greed, given the facilities offered by the Asian workforce. From a military point of view, China undoubtedly is aware of the war doctrine, weighing on the development of emerging countries, and has never engaged in open conflicts, even if it has put in place legitimate militaristic strategies which aim to protect its territory..

The Chinese questioning of American omnipotence, is a nightmare that Donald Trump wants to break through the economic war he has started against China.

So, what about the coronavirus in all this imbroglio?

No matter the origins of the coronavirus, one should know that it acts on the economy and on the psyche of populations, just like a biological weapon. The main objective of biological weapons is not always to inflict the greatest number of victims in the ranks of the enemy, but especially to modify enough the behavior of a Nation or a group, which can constitute a credible threat, both militarily and economically, by creating a mass incident that has the ability to change the conditions in which, other nations or groups interact with the launchers of the biological attack or the rest of the world.

However, these days, it is the agitation of the loss of human life accentuated by the rapid flow of information, which in general has more consequences. Despite their invisibility in propagation, biological weapons make it possible to create a level of destruction and loss of life much higher than nuclear, chemical or conventional weapons, compared to their mass and their cost of development and storage. Therefore, biological agents can be useful as a strategic deterrent in addition to their usefulness as offensive weapons on the battlefield.

It is interesting to understand that the rhetoric of Donald Trump accusing China of having maliciously spread this virus is questionable, the Coronavirus could be a perfect weapon and the Chinese would absolutely not have needed to start by infecting their own population.
