China COVID-19 UpdateChina is facing a significant challenge in the form of COVID-19 due to the “flawed and regressive prevention policies and ineffective domestically produced vaccines” of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to the news report, multiple reports from China have suggested that hospitals in highly populated cities including Shanghai and Beijing are overflowing with patients, the peak of the outbreak last month.
Without a plan, the Chinese government rolled out its “zero-covid policy”, which took drastic measures in its early stages, reports GeoPolitica.info. To contain the spread of the virus, China implemented a “harsh lockdown, stringent contact tracing as well as inhumane treatment by party officials”. However, China’s economy saw a significant decline due to the sanctions imposed by the CCP. The deaths could have been prevented by measures announced by the Chinese government. However, they left a large percentage of their population without natural immunity to COVID-19, and therefore, because China’s domestic vaccines were ineffective as a preventive against the virus and they also failed to protect people, GeoPolitica According to .info the report is good.
As reported by GeoPolitica.info, China’s COVID-19 control strategy has impressed the Chinese people and caused great discontent among the people in the country.

The World Health Organization has stated that such measures do not help reduce the number of cases and negatively affect people’s livelihoods.
Effect of Chinese Vaccines:
The end of the COVID-19 policy is once again a disaster due to the ineffectiveness of the Chinese vaccines made available to the people.

These decisions have proved frustrating for China’s political leadership and fatal for the general public as the country’s locally produced vaccines such as Sinovac and Sinopharm have proved ineffective.

China, people lack natural immunity. According to GeoPolitica.info report, since not many people in China have been affected by the virus, the coming few months are going to be damaging for its domestic population in terms of infections and even deaths.
The dual failure of both the vaccine and the prevention strategy has left much of China’s population “on the verge of exposure” which could have been prevented if the Chinese Communist Party had acted “rationally” instead of indulging in official methods to contain the virus. would have worked,” according to the news report. The policies announced by the Chinese government have increased the threat level and are about to affect the global economy.
