RESUMO: O presente artigo busca demonstrar dois fenômenos interligados na China. O primeiro deles é o processo histórico que envolveu mudanças institucionais ocorridas ao longo dos últimos 40 anos e saltos qualitativos no seio do setor estatal na economia chinesa. Esses elementos foram fundamentais para o surgimento de novas e superiores formas de planificação econômica, que, por sua vez, fez emergir um estágio superior de desenvolvimento que denominamos de “Nova Economia do Projetamento” – sendo este novo desenvolvimento também síntese de uma série de capacidades estatais construídas ao longo do tempo. O segundo fenômeno tem relação com as citadas capacidades estatais criadas, aqui entendidas como o elo explicativo fundamental no combate ao coronavírus pari passu a uma flexibilidade adaptativa e uma eficiência célere na contenção interna, reforçando o potencial da China e de sua projeção como ator político internacional.

ABSTRACT: This article seeks to show two interconnected phenomena in China. The first is a historical process that took place in the past 40 years involving institutional and qualitative changes in the state-controlled portion of the Chinese economy. Such changes have brought about new and superior forms of economic planning, based on which a higher stage of development pattern has emerged. We call this new development pattern "New Projectment Economy" and it synthesizes a series of state capacities built over time. The second phenomenon relates to how the state capacities created in the past decades have allowed the country to show adaptive flexibility and rapid efficiency in the containment of Covid-19 crisis internally and thus explain China's successful response in the fight against the coronavirus. Such phenomena, pari passu, show China's potential and projection as an international political actor.
