China’s COVID Conundrum: The Politics and Future of Zero-COVID
The People’s Republic of China is adjusting its ‘zero-COVID’ policy following widespread demonstrations against containment measures in late November. Now, the situation appears dire as COVID-19 spreads across Beijing and other parts of the country.
Beijing’s alleged failure to prepare for the relaxation of zero-COVID policies raises a number of questions. Why has it changed course following demonstrations? How long did it expect to maintain zero-COVID controls? What are the major obstacles to relaxing these policies? Why does it continue to experience deficits in preparation, such as with respect to hospital beds and elderly vaccination rates?
