Considering the pressures placed on global supply chains and impacts of the pandemic-induced economic slowdown. * Australia's role in the conflict between the United States and China, considering our historical political ties with the US and our economic reliance on China. * How the creation and distribution of a vaccine may play out, and whether it will cause diplomatic strain.
