Abstract: The purpose of this article is to summarize information on the functioning of China, and the spread and treatment of Coronavirus. He considers that the current mode of Chinese governance has a lot to do with the appearance of Covid19 disease, and in its transformation into a pandemic. According to the hypothesis tested here, the transformation into a pandemic of the first infections owes to a form of industrial accident, that is to say that the procedures and systems which should have avoided this catastrophe did not function properly. The article builds on the researches that our team has carried out on China since 1989, in particular through a research laboratory on organizations at Sun Yatsen University in Canton which I chaired from 2000 to 2014.
