China’s covid outbreaks are becoming harder to control. Meanwhile, lockdowns are hurting growth, amplifying a botched attempt to recast the economy

Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskIt is one of a trio of problems faced by China this year, alongside a misfiring economy and the war in Ukraine. You may think they are unconnected, but China’s response to each has a common root: swagger and hubris in public, an obsession with control in private, and dubious results.

In some ways Mr Xi has triumphed. The propagandists can boast of a covid-19 mortality rate that is the lowest of any big country, and an economy that has grown by more than any other in thesince 2018. As Europe descends into war, China stands apart and secure, with a growing nuclear arsenal and the muscle and money to project power from the Pacific to the Caribbean.

Those lockdowns are hurting growth, amplifying a botched attempt to recast the economy. Mr Xi has called on Chinese capitalists to become less predatory and more self-reliant. But in an attempt to implement vague slogans such as “common prosperity”, zealous officials have reasserted state control and intimidated the most successful entrepreneurs. A once-glittering tech industry is in intensive care, with the largest ten firms having lost $1.7trn of market value after a barrage of regulations.

China doesn't understand that the world's perception of your culture matters. That's why they're never overtake the US.

Wow, who are these rich countries? US and its loyal lackeys? Across the world, public perceptions of the so called rich countries are at the worst for centuries.

Putin is wrong in all the principles of the world. And in every religion I prove it. That the Russians are oppressing the Ukrainians. ×××…×××…××× Mansoor Khorasani ... Afghanistan ...

China is no different than Russia; they are both Communist countries bent on world domination!

China didn't invade any country the since the special military operation against Vietnam in 1979 to stop the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia. LOL

The rise of Asia and a Multipolar World.

China 🇨🇳 has to make a decision or support Ukraine 🇺🇦 or defend Russia 🇷🇺

ne person is peaceful

The truth is their vaccine is a meaningless non functioning placebo. The Chinese were just too proud and stubborn to ask for ours . Their economy is also built on low quality short cutting and copyright infringement. It’s a busted flush and all we need to do is boycott them !

Shorts will be squeezed. Get over it.

China’s ascent is hard to digest for some folks. Get used to it sooner than later.

You know ...they need to change tact fast!

Us die 1mn, what US wrong.

Fine, UK and US have better economic growth, lol

Well, China is in decline. So, don't hold it against us. Is it all right?

Well, communists ARE the best manipulators

CHINA 🇨🇳 IS A BLESSING OR CURSE I DONT KNOW; ALL I CARE ABOUT IS MY SMALL BUSINESS MY SMART GOALS; EVERY GOVERNMENT EVERY TAXPAYER HAS THE RIGHT TO DO BUSINESS

Chinese life expectancy outgrew 3 years relative compared to US since Covid started. So spending 3 weeks locked down to live 3 years seems a good deal to me. Not to mention the economic impact of having so much more consumers for 3 more years.

We need more info about USA bio-lab in Ukraine.

Why are you so worried about China more than your own country?

आफ्नो के हुन्छ थाह छैन ! अर्काको कुरा काट्यो बस्यो ।

但中国不会承认失败。习近平已经把清零变成了一个政治任务和对中国特色社会主义制度优越性的证明。而现在,中国政府正在努力清理对防疫政策的抗议声音。

China has failed to accept that you seemingly cannot Contain nor Eliminate SARS-COV-2 & its variants: at least in the short-term, and with existing technologies. Better to mandate vaccination and boosters for all eligible (excludes medically exempt?) adults. That avoid lockdowns

You are destroying us.
