| Sumario: | In 2020, China faced serious problems caused by the epidemic, which became the Covid-19 pandemic. These problems were not only internal, but also because of negative reactions from abroad, mainly from the United States. Also this year, Chinese leaders found that the so-called strategic opportunity period, in which the country was able to take advantage of the international opening environment, was over. Developed countries have seen China's rise as a threat to its interests. They question the strength of Chinese companies abroad and Chinese involvement in international affairs. They ask for an opening of the Chinese market for their products. The United States has attacked China in a way reminiscent of the Cold War years, statements by high-level, outright, and hard-hitting US officials show concerns about containing Beijing’s advance.
