China are literally rounding up Uygher Muslims, sending them to camps. This is confirmed. Unconfirmed, allegations of what is going on there including forced sterilisation, organ harvesting etc have horrific echoes of the past, I pray they are not true but I fear they probably are.
Yet, they (China) have their tendrils in so many economies, including our own, Germany, Canada, Australia that very few nations are strong enough to call them out on these atrocities as well as there illegal activities in non-chinese sovereign waters of the South China Sea.
If Trump gets re elected he and India's Mohdi may stand against China and where that leads God knows. If Biden wins, the Chinese have won.
Also, Turkey are making supremacist ominous noises about caliphate again so that could be another threat especially for Southern Europe.
None of that is necessarily pandemic related though, just a peculiarly tense time in terms of geo-politics

Turkey, or at least Erdogan are the biggest threat to us. Not sure if the Yanks would step in if they decide to roll into Southern Europe, Erdogan has boasted his army could conquer Europe in a matter of days.
