China’s zero covid policy has zero chance of succeeding, which is why they’ve changed the definition of zero covid. You know how it is when you stake your reputation on a policy that just doesn’t work. In this episode of China Uncensored, we discuss the extreme measures China is taking to prevent the covid from spreading, why it’s so hard to report positive cases in China, and what Beijing is doing to protect the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

When Biden announced that all Americans should get booster shots, that was, apparently, before he consulted with the CDC and FDA on the matter. This week, the FDA approved one brand of booster shot for only some Americans. The situation at the border is….better?
