As our group discussed in Monthly Review, China bears much, but not all, responsibility for the emergence of COVID-19.

The U.S. and Europe played definitional roles themselves in funding the deforestation and development that this century led to the emergence of H1N1 (2009), Ebola Makona, H5N2, H5Nx, and Zika outside China. And many an influenza and SARS in China proper. Indeed, in opposition to mutual accusations, many of these outbreaks were joint productions.

As late Giovanni Arrighi and early John Gulick put it, the two centers of capital, competing brothers, are foundationally integrated, sharing transnational supply lines, foreign direct investment, interlocking directorates, and a debt co-dependency during what appears a bout of common ecological collapse. Even the kind of dirty break in polarities of accumulation world-systems theory predicts ain't a done deal.
