Slowly, China is loosening some parts of its draconian Zero COVID policy. Several cities, including Urumqi—site of an apartment fire where several people died arguably due to the extreme lockdown regulations—are relaxing their lockdown provisions, and allowing some things to re-open.
"The government’s rationale appears to be that, as Omicron is less deadly than previous COVID strains, the harsher restrictions are no longer needed."
So they just figured out what the rest of the world has known for practically all of 2022?
Mr. Xi
Tear down this Zero Covid!
Not a good future for the CCP or China as a whole?
