Abstract

In 2020, COVID-19, a public health event that almost overturned the global landscape, threw human beings trapped by weak technical progress into unprecedented global crises at the start of the third ten years of the twenty-first century. Companies and factories were shut down, schools and airports were closed, global trade activities almost came to a halt, and various macroeconomic indicators repeatedly set new all-time lows. The epidemic has particularly impacted the basic epidemic prevention and emergency systems. A number of intractable and urgent challenges emerged, including a huge supply gap for protective materials in the early stage of the fight against the epidemic, the production capacity fluctuation of pharmaceutical and medical device enterprises, the blocked import and export of raw materials, etc.
