World War V is as much a competition between systems as WW2 was. Authoritarian China, the unapologetic origin of the virus, claims "we can outsurvive you" and showcases its superiority by sending aid to Italy. Is China right? Remember nature has no political affiliation.

The monkey on the West's back is the Narrative, the intersectional middleware than distorts everything it sees and twists everything it does. Somehow there must be a return to direct vision and proportional action.
