The disastrous implications of lifting Zero-COVID in China
www.wsws.org
The objective laws of viral transmission mean that any shift away from a Zero-COVID elimination strategy carries with it the potential for the situation to quickly spiral out of control.

(note: while WSWS (trot site) uses CCP instead of CPC, they generally have good takes on China and support China against US imperialism)

(note: to clarify, this article is in support of Zero-COVID and sees the lifting of the policy as a grave mistake)

(note: i do not necessarily support all the shit wsws says i am not a fucking trot)

      I apologize for going on the offense about this given you have family there.

      The onslaught of Sinophobia on the western internet leads me to a default position of assuming negative intent.

      I hope the best for China and that your family there remains in good health.

        It's all good. I was panicked by the news, and your comments have given me reassurance.

          I’m glad to hear it! I’m sorry that reassurance came in such a harsh form at first.
