China eases COVID rules after protests, keeps wider strategy

In addition, the southern manufacturing and trade metropolis of Guangzhou, the biggest hotspot in China's latest wave of infections, announced some residents will no longer be required to undergo mass testing.and another city in the Xinjiang region in the north-west announced markets and other businesses in areas deemed at low risk of infection would reopen this week and public bus service would resume.

The ruling party promised last month to reduce disruption by changing quarantine and other rules. But public acceptance is wearing thin after a spike in infections prompted cities to tighten controls.The ruling party newspaper People's Daily called for its anti-virus strategy to be carried out effectively, indicating Mr Xi's government has no plans to change course.

Hours after police broke up the demonstration, people returned to the same spot on Sunday for another protest.

How Democratic of them.
