Indeed. The thing that worries me is China's reaction time during emergencies like these. And Beijing has similar concerns about the White House. During the EP-3 incident, it took a while to get any response from China. It seems to me that the in-built time lag caused by deliberations within the walls of Zhongnanhai during emergencies hasn't changed much at all over a couple of decades. Lots of similarities between China's reaction time during the original SARS outbreak and SARS-2. So it begs the question of how resilient China's crisis management mechanisms are. With China's saturation of the SCS I fear its a question of not if, but when, so Beijing and Washington need to jaw-jaw about this, perhaps in a track 2 setting.
