The Chinese capital showed tentative signs of a return to normal Thursday after a sudden reversal of a hardline pandemic policy that hammered the world's second-biggest economy and ignited rare protests.

Beijing's National Health Commission on Wednesday announced a nationwide loosening of its zero-Covid restrictions, reducing the scope of mandatory testing, allowing some positive cases to quarantine at home, and ending large-scale lockdowns.

Under the new guidelines, the frequency and scope of PCR testing -- long a tedious mainstay of life -- have been reduced. Others said they had come to be tested because they work in the hotel and catering industry, where testing remains obligatory. China is now steeling for a wave of infections expected to follow the relaxation of the rules -- with one previous estimate suggesting more than a million people could die.

The Chinese 'zero-covid' strategy was never about managing a 'virus', it was always about complete control & subjugation of the citizenry. Govts around the world want to roll-out this tyrannical model in their own countries. BE VIGILANT!

Power to the people!!
