China’s draconian zero-COVID policies have resulted in delayed medical treatment, and caused many deaths across the country since the COVID-19 outbreak.

A Taiwanese businessman working in China was reported to have died on Sept. 18 in Xiamen, a city in China’s eastern coastal province of Fujian, after he was isolated in a quarantine facility near the Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport.
