The U.S. intelligence community warned that China will attempt to use "vaccine diplomacy" to increase its influence around the world amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"In the coming year, the United States and its allies will face a diverse array of threats that are playing out amidst the global disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and against the backdrop of great power competition, the disruptive effects of ecological degradation and a changing climate, an increasing number of empowered non-state actors, and rapidly evolving technology," the report states. The intelligence community went on to warn that the COVID-19 pandemic "will continue to strain" governments and societies, and fuel "humanitarian and economic crises, political unrest, and geopolitical competition."More Related News
