TOKYO -- If you fold a map of China into four, what appears in its center is Wuhan -- the capital of Hubei Province, a city with a population similar to Tokyo's and the epicenter of the recent coronavirus outbreak.
Former leader Mao Zedong liked to visit Wuhan and stroll along the picturesque East Lake. He did so in 1965, when the Sword of Goujian, an archaeological artifact of the Spring and Autumn period (771-403 BC), was found, intact, with an almost untarnished blade.
