Impact of The Pandemic on The International Management of Health Products, Between Shortage and Innovation

Abstract

Like SARS in 2002 and 2003, SARS-COV-2 has caused a region of China that has undergone significant changes. Deforestation is relatively old, and caused by multiple phenomena including recurrent conflicts and population growth. China is a member to many international treaties, including the fight against deforestation and the protection of forests. In fact, it has also developed an important legal arsenal to combat deforestation and desertification. Despite its efforts, a quarter of its territory is affected by desertification, which continues to increase by 2,460 km2 per year. Why such a lag? The protection of Chinese forests is actually a legal equation to several unknowns. By placing Chinese law in its historical, philosophical and sociological context, clues appear. Chinese law indeed appears in a permanent dialectic between the need to grasp Western formalism and resistance to it. Three Chinese cultural specificities thus feed this dialectic and influence the effectiveness of the legal regime of forest protection in China. They are decisive in the permanent gap between the legal environmental protection regime and implementation; a central issue raised by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution 73/333 of August 30, 2019 in order to ensure effective protection of the environment.
