This would be more relevant if the key ingredient in the medication is only sourced in China.
Exactly so. The world will totally ignore any patent by China. If China dares to demand patent rights for any cure, perhaps the world will finally come to its senses and universally boycott all goods from China. Then let China stew in its own juices.
