Podcasts about zero covid policy

In late 2022, mass demonstrations broke out in China against the Zero Covid Policy. In a rare move, the Chinese government acknowledged these acts of dissent by relaxing Covid restrictions. However, despite this concession, there were many reports of protesters being tracked down with the help of an advanced state surveillance system and severely punished, with aggressive interrogations and threats to families. What are the politics of human rights and dissent in contemporary China, given the recent advancements in surveillance technology? What other countries are implementing China's model of digital authoritarianism? Please join us for a discussion with Dr. Emile Dirks, Research Associate at University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, Bulelani Jili, Meta Research Ph.D. Fellow at Harvard University, and Maya Wang, associate director in the Asia division at Human Rights Watch.Follow us at:Network2020.orgTwitter: @Network2020LinkedIn: Network 20/20Facebook: @network2020Instagram: @network_2020"Sunrise Expedition" by Joseph McDadeFollow us at:Network2020.orgTwitter: @Network2020LinkedIn: Network 20/20Facebook: @network2020Instagram: @network_2020

Note: As current events regarding Covid are rapidly changing, we want to acknowledge that this episode was recorded in early January 2023. In this first episode of our 2023 season, Dr. Jennifer Bouey, an expert on global health equity and security, is here to make sense of zero-Covid's sudden end in China. Following the 20th Party Congress last fall, the signal from the top seemed to suggest that China would continue to stay the course on zero-Covid. Few could have imagined the sudden dismantling of the policy.Days before the Lunar New Year, China reported nearly 60,000 Covid-related hospital deaths for the first five weeks of the current outbreak. But many experts believe that number is still low. As physicians in China told Reuters, they are discouraged from citing Covid on death certificates. Relatives of those whose deaths were related to Covid say the disease did not appear as a cause of death on official documents.The number of deaths is also a lagging figure; one infectious disease model reported in the journal Nature suggests that the current wave peaked ahead of Chinese New Year in many parts of China, which means the number of deaths could surge over the holidays and beyond.

Welcome to 2023. Every year, The Economist brings together policy makers, thought leaders and correspondents from around the world with predictions about what issues we'll confront in 2023 that we need to prepare for today for a special edition of the magazine. The issues include a looming recession, more climate catastrophes and what happens in China now that the Zero Covid Policy is over. We'll talk to the editor of "The World Ahead in 2023", Tom Standage.

Covid emerged in China three years ago. And ever since, that country has had probably the tightest restrictions anywhere. After extraordinary protests, this week the government announced an easing of restrictions. For insight, we welcome: Lynette Ong, professor at the University of Toronto's Asian Institute, Department of Political Science and Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, and author of "Outsourcing Repression: Everyday State Power in Contemporary China." And Jan Wong, who was the Beijing correspondent for the Globe and Mail from 1988-1994, and has written four books on China.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, our hosts discuss China's decision to roll back some of its “Zero COVID” policy by reducing testing and quarantine restrictions. While easing these restrictions is in line with what has happened in the U.S., we can't help but wonder – is China prepared to do so with low booster rates and no variant-specific vaccine? Our hosts also discuss what implications this has for the immunocompromised community. “Because they've been sort of bottled up for so long, COVID is on the verge of exploding in China. They are already reporting very high numbers, nearly 40,000 new infections per day,” says Steven Newmark, Director of Policy at GHLF. Among the highlights in this episode: 1:07: Listener comment 1:42: “44 states are reporting high or very high flu activity,” says Zoe Rothblatt, Associate Director of Community Outreach at GHLF 2:15: The CDC reports an estimated 8.7 million illnesses, 78,000 hospitalizations, and 4,500 deaths all due to the flu so far this season 3:17: Mpox is expected to no longer be considered a public health emergency in the U.S. as of Feb. 1, 2023 4:13: Results from a recent GHLF COVID-19 Patient Support Program quick poll show that 65% of respondents say they have been diagnosed or tested positive for COVID and 44% of that group have been diagnosed with long COVID 5:32: “China has… begun lifting some of its COVID restrictions, even though the government's ‘zero COVID' policy officially remains,” says Steven Newmark 6:16: More than 20 Chinese cities, including major cities like Beijing, have ended the requirements for negative COVID tests to use public transportation and enter public venues, while some residential compounds now allow infected residents with special needs to quarantine at home instead of being sent to a centralized quarantine 7:47: There is a reported 40,000 new COVID-19 infections per day in China 8:24: “[China's] vaccines are called Sinovac and Sinopharm. These are inactivated vaccines that are just not quite as effective. These are vaccines that were developed early in the pandemic,” says Steven Newmark 10:40: “The Chinese government is refusing to accept the boosters that are Omicron specific, even though that's the dominant strain,” says Steven Newmark 12:14: What our hosts learned from this episode Contact Our Hosts Steven Newmark, Director of Policy at GHLF: snewmark@ghlf.org Zoe Rothblatt, Associate Director, Community Outreach at GHLF: zrothblatt@ghlf.org We want to hear what you think.

Recent protests against China's strict zero-COVID policy took a lot of people by surprise. But they might have worked. The Chinese government is now taking steps to ease the rules around the pandemic lockdowns that sparked so much public frustration. And, Sudan's military government has come to an agreement with the main pro-democracy group to ease the country back into civilian-led rule. Also, the construction of 133 new radio telescopes in South Africa has begun. They are part of a project called Square Kilometer Array, which seeks to observe outer space phenomena in greater detail and in greater breadth.

In a remarkable display of discontent not seen since the 1989 Tiananmen Square demonstrations, protesters across China have taken to the streets demanding an end to the country's stringent zero-Covid policy. At the outset of the pandemic, China adopted a policy of quarantining and locking down its citizens to prevent the spread of Covid. But while most of the world has moved on to treat Covid as endemic, China's president Xi Jinping, who was confirmed in October for an unprecedented third term, has stuck to its zero-Covid policy. Demonstrators argue that the policy has placed an extraordinary burden on citizens, and they are demanding not just the end to the restrictions, but also Xi's resignation, a call that is politically sensitive in a nation where dissent is regularly quashed. We'll talk about the protests and what impact they might have in changing China's Covid policy and its future. Guests: Kerry Allen, China media analyst, BBC. Victor Shih, chair in China and Pacific Relations, University of California, San Diego. Nancy Qian, James J. O'Connor professor of Economics, Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management; founder, Kellogg's China Research Lab and China Econ Lab, an independent international organization that promotes research about the Chinese economy.

They mention that while the sales were up when inflation is taken into account, there was no real progress made. The speakers discuss the market and Black Friday and mention that the rail strike and protests in China are having negative impacts on the economy.The speakers discuss the possibility of an upcoming recession, citing several indicators that suggest it may be on the horizon. These include the recent inversion of the yield curve, the decreasing price of oil, and banks' unwillingness to loan money. They also note that the White House has started to take steps to prepare for a recession, such as replenishing the oil reserves.Are Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, and whether or not they are indicative of a strong economy? The group discusses how businesses and employees are impacted by a weak economy, and how the recent sales numbers may not be as strong as they seem.0:01:51The Market This Week: A Look at Black Friday and Earnings Season0:03:31The Impact of Economic Indicators on the Federal Reserve's Decision-making0:05:28The Impact of the Resilient Consumer on Businesses0:07:29The Impact of Black Friday and Cyber Monday on the Economy0:10:20The Impact of Economic Uncertainty on the Stock Market0:12:34The Impact of High Consumer Debt on the Economy0:13:58The Impact of the Railroad Strikes on the Stock Market0:15:27The Impact of a Potential Railroad Strike on the U.S. Economy0:23:38The Impact of China Lockdowns on the Stock Market0:25:15Apple and Twitter's Feud Could Impact the Stock Market0:28:56Apple and Tesla's Feud: Why Elon Musk is Picking a Fight

Authorities in China are seeking to end protests against Covid restrictions that spread to some of its biggest cities over the weekend. Many cities across the country are locked down as the government tries to control record Covid-19 cases.

When China first instituted its zero-COVID policy, it was a success: as other countries struggled with soaring infection rates and overburdened hospitals, life for many Chinese citizens began to look normal again within months—so long as they weren't infected.
