In late November, nationwide protests broke out across China as unrest over the government’s zero-covid policy reached breaking point. President Xi’s insistence on maintaining a strict Covid-zero policy resulted in years of intermittent lockdowns and harsh restrictions in China. As the rest of the world gradually opened, China remained firmly shut.
In the past month however, as cases spiked and people dreaded further lockdowns, we witnessed the biggest protests in China since Tiananmen Square in the late 1980s. Now, only a matter of weeks later, the government has responded by abandoning most of its strictest policies.
Today Darcy and Sascha talk about what’s going on in China, and what does reopening mean for the world’s second largest economy? Then Darcy is joined by a guest expert Richard McGregor, to talk further about his thoughts on the developments in China.
