And without a doubt, I think people should read about treaties, military maneuvers and diplomatic summits. But I also try to remember — and I try to make sure our readers remember — that people’s lives hang in the balance. That’s why I’m so proud of some of the essays we’ve recently published by individuals caught in the middle of the growing conflict between the United States and China. I think there’s no bigger international news story in the years to come — except maybe the climate crisis — than this clash of superpowers. It will likely define the next decade and beyond. (But that’s probably a topic for another day.) The essay we published [today by Yi Rao](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRg-q-9P0TbaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNy8yMi9vcGluaW9uL2Nvcm9uYXZpcnVzLWNoaW5hLXVzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMDA3MjImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MjA1MTYmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MzQwNDImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgBAvSoYX3uOnbpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) reminds you that this isn’t all just 5G technology and the South China Sea, though. Yi is a doctor and professor of medicine in Beijing who comes from a family of doctors. He has lived in both China and the United States, and has family in both countries, too. In his moving essay, Yi writes about how his uncle Eric died from Covid-19 in Queens when New York City was an epicenter; his family in Wuhan, where the virus first emerged, survived.
