As well as the competition for new strategic resources among great powers. At the same time, the global intellectual property system has created a monopoly of knowledge, and its damage has begun to emerge during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it may be more constrained in the future when necessary technologies are needed to address the common risks and challenges of mankind.
