We have witnessed the rise of nationalism in Asia and many nations in Europe. It seems that the virus from Wuhan added fuel to the fire. In the second half of March 2020, the US President Donald Trump referred to the COVID-19 coronavirus as the Chinese virus. Mr Scott Morrison remained a shade more polite, believed that the coronavirus emanated in Wuhan, “likely in its wildlife wet markets” (ABC News, 2020). “Sometimes you have to find a stone to rub it off," Hu posted on Weibo (ABC News 2020). These cacophonies lead to the question—is nationalism a bad one?
