The opposite actually. I agree that things like strategic parts of the supply chain is something that should probably be re-evaluated, but ideally we should keep up global cooperation more than ever.
What we should change however is the expectence of following international rules. Everyone isolating wouldn’t help either our economies or even help prevent the next outbreak. Strict demands on following human rights, press freedom and expectence of cooperation in cases of novel diseases. On top of all that you have the repeat history of disregarding laws of trade etc. (not that the US don’t have some issues there historically either, but china’s transgressions are more current).
My point is that this calls for international organizations that are competent and powerful enough to be able to prevent future disasters, as well as not fearing single countried.
