Here is something more recent from João Pedro:

https://mronline.org/2020/04/17/neoliberalism-and-finance-capital-have-been-defeated-by-coronavirus/

"China is also consolidating its power economically and politically. He 
said that this shift, which had already begun before the pandemic, will 
open up new possibilities to challenge unipolarity in international 
institutions.

[...]

"I also heard that the Chinese Communist Party is circulating a document 
where it questions the existing multilateral institutions, particularly 
the unipolarity due to the power of the US in these institutions, such 
as the United Nations, ILO and other organizations. The document 
proposes new formats for the functioning of international institutions 
that reflect the new correlation of forces that will emerge from this 
crisis, such as the economic power of China.

"China will emerge from this crisis with a lot of high morale not only 
because it preserved its economic primacy but also because it resolved 
the crisis rapidly, and with a relatively lesser death toll. Also, all 
the evaluations say that the GDP of China will increase 2-3%. This is 
not at the same level as before but it will grow nonetheless. And now 
everyone is desperate and knocking on China’s door for masks, equipment, 
and this is already a sign that the new hegemonic power in the global 
economy is China. And this will evidently have consequences for the 
international organizations, which are the results of the post-World War 
II order. The international sphere will see great changes after this 
crisis and in the beginning of next year.
