These are structural shifts in the sense that even the most liberal government in the US would find it hard to throw its weight around when China is always available – in South East Asia, in Africa, in Central Asia – to provide financing and diplomatic support with few strings attached (and to threaten forms of retaliation when such inducements fail).

The First Plague Pandemic originated in sub-Saharan Africa in the sixth century ad , spreading to Europe by 541 and continuing to ravage the Mediterranean Basin until around 750 ( Keller et al. , 2019 : 12363–4). This was followed by the Second Plague Pandemic, which arrived in Europe from East Asia in the fourteenth century. Although this pandemic is associated most strongly with the Black Death of 1347

International lawyers with the linguistic and cultural competence to analyse these films would do well to undertake this work. Perhaps these cinemas are interested in other
