Covid-19 Cases Surge Across China, Nation Plunged Into Curbs

The numbers of Covid-19 infections are constantly rising across China in recent weeks, leading to imposition of testing and restrictions of everyday lives under the 'Zero Covid' policies. Chinese President Xi Jinping's 'Zero Covid' policy has been under severe criticism lately with people across Chinese cities participating in protests and directly lashing out at Xi. These protests are unprecedented in China as, unlike democracies like India or UK, China neither allows free speech nor political opposition.
