Does China's COVID-19 Management Legitimize Its Non-Democracy?
Monday, April 19, 2021
8:00 am – 9:00 am
EDT/GMT-4
Online Event
The OSUN Democracy Institute at Central European University is hosting a panel discussion on China's management of the COVID-19 crisis.
As discontent grows in many European states over governmental incompetence at Covid-19 pandemic management, the question arises whether it is a system failure in the face of crisis. China has managed to keep Covid-19 at a minimal level, life has returned to normal and the economy on the whole has recovered. Europe, however, is struggling with questions of freedom (freedom of movement, freedom of assembly) and also those of data protection – aspects that have largely been neglected in China. Does this comparison offer legitimacy to the autocratic Chinese system? This debate will try to elucidate the question from different perspectives.
