China grows more isolated as Asia Pacific neighbors start living with Covid-19
CNN
From Australia to South Korea and across Asia Pacific, the final bastions of "zero Covid" are easing restrictions and opening borders as the region prepares to live with the virus -- except for one major holdout.
China, the country where Covid-19 was first detected nearly two years ago, remains determined to eliminate the virus inside its borders, with officials there showing no signs of backing down.
Despite fully vaccinating more than 75% of its population, China is sticking to its stringent zero Covid strategy, including closed borders, lengthy quarantine measures for all international arrivals and local lockdowns when an outbreak occurs.
