In the beginning, Dr. Thomas Chan briefed the international economy under coronavirus spreading period.  The world is not equal and nations and economies have dissimilar resources and capabilities to deal with the coronavirus crisis and its induced economic crisis. In the interconnected world, international relation take the form of zero-sum game. 

The bio-crisis could trigger off many more crises, and have far reaching implications and consequences, causing a greater differentiation of nations in the post-crisis reconnected world.  Then Dr. Thomas Chan briefed the initial attack on currencies of nations in early 2020.

Finally, Dr. Thomas Chan discussed Hong Kong situation.  Since China is overcoming the Coronavirus pandemic, Hong Kong will have better position comparatively. However, it depends on Hong Kong’s connectivity that could be recovered or not after the pandemic, as well as, new Cold War between the US and China.
