With the international community gradually relaxing COVID-19 restrictions and the Beijing Winter Olympics coming to an end, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has recently announced it may “change” its “zero-COVID” policy to align with international community. Observers say that the CCP’s “zero-COVID” policy has reached a dead end and that the party is now forced to consider ending the policy.
On Feb. 15, the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at the Renmin University of China held a panel discussion on potential post epidemic actions, with the hosting institution claiming to have started developing “new ideas” for Beijing authorities.
