State media outlets have steadfastly praised the policy, saying it shows China’s government is not willing to accept mass covid deaths like Western democracies have done.

Beijing’s leaders say they want to ease their way back to normal, but so far, it’s unclear when and how that will happen. The government has eased some of its controls this year, such as shortening quarantine for those entering the country to a week and making it easier to travel between provinces.

But cities suffering outbreaks have snapped back into lockdown, with municipal officials often fired or punished afterward.

Beijing has maintained that the country cannot stop the lockdowns because a substantial portion of the population, especially the elderly, is still unvaccinated. China has also refused to import the most effective foreign coronavirus vaccines, relying on domestic ones that provide less immunity.
