China’s Zero-Covid Exit Plans Unravel


Financial Times: “Coronavirus vaccinations are one of Xi’s core challenges. According to the latest official data, a third of China’s 267 million people older than 60 have not received their third vaccine dose. The booster is required to attain high levels of protection against the Omicron variant.”

“A big problem lies in Chinese culture, which is more risk-averse than many other countries when it comes to diseases and vaccines…”

“While a relatively high vaccine hesitancy rate among China’s elderly population predates the pandemic, the problem has been exacerbated by official messaging about the dangers of Covid over the past two-and-a-half years.”

Katelyn Jetelina: “Covid-19 seems to be on the verge of exploding in China. They are reporting record-high numbers—nearly 40,000 new infections per day. The biggest concern is China’s incomplete immunity wall when faced with infections.”
