Here is a quote from the latest book by Singapore expert Mahbubani, just published by Springer (owner of Nature): 'The Asian 21st Century'.
Note the mention of the very controversial Nature piece by Andersen et al, published shortly after the Fauci call.
@McWLuke @thackerpd 
That quote is from chapter 'Covid-19 ‘Enhanced China’s Position in the World Order’' in section 'The Peaceful Rise of China'.
full book (worth checking): link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…
chapter: link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…
The book is a production of the CCG think tank (Center for China and Globalization), based in Beijing.
The CGG was founded in 2008 by a committee of the Western Returned Scholars Association, an organization under the infamous United Front Work Department. 
This is just par for the course for Mahbubani, a well known pro-CCP 'expert'.
👉👉👉 What is beyond belief is that Springer Nature is publishing such propaganda from the United Front Department.
Just follow the money.
