China eases controls, gives no sign when 'zero COVID' ends

Residents line up in freezing cold temperatures for their routine COVID-19 throat swabs at a coronavirus testing site in Beijing, Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022. China on Sunday reported two additional deaths from COVID-19 as some cities move cautiously to ease anti-pandemic restrictions amid increasingly vocal public frustration over the measures. China is easing some of the world’s most stringent anti-virus controls and authorities say new variants are weaker.

“China is not ready for a fast reopening yet,” Morgan Stanley economists said in a report Monday. “We expect lingering containment measures. … Restrictions could still tighten dynamically in lower-tier cities should hospitalizations surge.” The protests began Nov. 25 after at least 10 people died in a fire in an apartment building in Urumqi in the northwest. Authorities denied suggestions firefighters or victims were blocked by locked doors or other anti-virus controls. But the disaster became a focus for public frustration.

The government of Shanghai, the country's financial capital, announced visitors to most sites will require only a negative virus test in the past week, instead of the previous two days. Schools, hospitals and bars still will require a test within the past 48 hours. A negative virus test within the past 72 hours still is required to enter public buildings in vast metropolis of Chongqing in the southwest, a hotspot in the latest infection spike. Dining in restaurants in some parts of Beijing still is prohibited.

Regulators have responded by freeing up more money for lending and are trying to encourage private investment in infrastructure projects. They have eased some financial controls on real estate developers to reverse a slump in one of China’s biggest industries.

how can ABC ignore the biggest scandal in US history? Collusion to silence a legitimate news story days before an election. The country needs to wake up.

I would bet that China isn’t doing much different and articles like these are just the media pushing Chinese talking points

Xi is simply a modern, more sophisticated Genghis Khan pursuing the same goal of world domination.

Why is ABC News silent about the dirty Biden laptop?

How come your channel isn’t covering the biggest political news going on right now? The Twitter files? Hmmmmm

How is that possible! Timmy Cook restricted AirDrop! Disney is a Xi boy!

Time to free the Chinese people from their communist government.

According to Nazi Democrats: Chinese protest = Good Democrats protest = Good Americans protest = Insurrection

A lot of us thought China released covid as an attack on the world and the more this goes on I realize, he did it to control his own people!!

There’s a huge lot of people in the states that would support these measures.
