China Must Stick With Covid Zero Policy, People’s Daily Says

The Chinese Communist Party’s flagship newspaper endorsed the country’s Covid Zero policy for the second day in a row, dousing hopes that President Xi Jinping will relax controls soon after a key political meeting starting later this week.

Covid Zero is “sustainable” and the country must stick to the strategy because it’s key to stabilizing the economy and protecting lives, the People’s Daily said in a commentary Tuesday. It follows a similar article Monday labeling the stringent pandemic approach as “scientific and effective.” State news agency Xinhua also published a column that said the country can’t be complacent on the virus.
