China reopens borders in final farewell to zero-COVID

Lovely.

No doubt there'll be people waiting to rain on their happiness.

Not mentioned here is the fact a negative pre departure test is still required for boarding a plane to China.

Well done China.

Held to your strategy longer than the naysayers thought was possible.

President Xi admitted his mistake over the zero covid policy leading to the deaths of many and now infections are more than 250 million cases.

Well done China.

Held to your strategy longer than the naysayers thought was possible.

The criticism from the international scientific and medical community was that the strategy would end up not being sustainable and would be abandoned causing countless unnecessary deaths, which is exactly what happented. Only absolute lack of empathy would let anybody say that at least a million deaths happening because of incompetence of the CCP are something "well done".

This is just your personal opinion. I would like to hear from the scientists or those in the medical field. Anyone here with that background?

USA covid cases 100 million. UK 24 million cases. China has 250 million current cases. They are refusing to release any more covid data.

Smells like a bad oyster near a rice field.

Is that why in China? Never thought of that. You do post some very odd comments.

Disregarding the well promoted professional opinion from international experts and pretending it would only be important if someone here was saying so its deeply irrational, What arguments do you have to refute the conclusions from several international experts that clearly disapprove from the failure made in China? that they do not post directly here?

Japan, the UK, USA, etc. all have more infections and deaths than China.

They use a different type of vax.

Posts from 2020? hahaha!

When the point is that the professionals predicted China's approach to end up in disaster that is precisely the point, that China had 2 years to do better than what it did and prevent up to a million deaths by doing what the specialists recommended.

Two of the references are from December 2022, pretending everything came from 2020 only makes transparent how you understand the references disprove your point and you have no argument against them, so your only option is to pretend they don't exist.

They are there for anybody to read and see how the international experts are the ones saying China's approach was completely wrong and it is causing unnecessary deaths.

CCP is hesitant to respond despite the mounting death toll. Xi Jinping makes a lot of effort to keep them a secret.

Well done China

Anyone with an iota of historical knowledge of China knows the government can snuff out large demonstrations almost instantly.

These new protests won't get too far.

Indeed.

Not much new here, as other countries have gone through similar procedures over the years.
