Shanghai's huge outbreak of Covid-19 seemed to coincide with the Winter Olympics. That event was "closed loop": outsiders isolated to specific venues. Yet the outbreak happened. So I am skeptical that closed loop business meetings would be practical in China at this time. Why can't they use Zoom?

- Start date
What? No it wasn't. It coincided with the big Hong Kong wave and Shanghai was hosting people from Hong Kong that needed to be quarantined and doing a bad job at it.
Do not cut it out of context. You need to read the whole sentence which I quote for you below:
Here, "防控方针" apparently means the direction to go in fighting the pandemic. "防控政策" and “防控措施” are the detailed policies to follow and the actions to take. You can also think "防控方针" as the ultimate goals.
Setting goals and direction is not ideological.
LOL, nobody's perfect.
本土病例356例 new symptomatic cases (Shanghai 上海245例 and Beijing 北京55例)
本土4272例 new asymptomatic cases (Shanghai 上海4024例)
Another 12 deaths in Shanghai.

You're probably right. I wasn't on this forum at the time.
I still think closed loop business meetings aren't practical. Presumably foreigners go to China to negotiate with Chinese. Where do the Chinese go afterwards?
Beijing cases have been hanging around 50 for a week now. It would be good to get a breakdown to see how many are in high risk areas.
Don't know whether to post this in the China's Demographics thread or here.
Edit: Another article on the relationship between covid infection and pregnancy.
We should keep watch of birth rates and infant mortality in the West in the future. If the effect is significant, we're going to see lower birth and TFR for countries that decided to "live with covid".

So said the person under his policy one million died, without the slightest irony. The purpose of China's current lock-down is to buy time to vaccinate its senior citizens.
