The disastrous implications of lifting Zero-COVID in China
www.wsws.org
The objective laws of viral transmission mean that any shift away from a Zero-COVID elimination strategy carries with it the potential for the situation to quickly spiral out of control.

(note: while WSWS (trot site) uses CCP instead of CPC, they generally have good takes on China and support China against US imperialism)

(note: to clarify, this article is in support of Zero-COVID and sees the lifting of the policy as a grave mistake)

(note: i do not necessarily support all the shit wsws says i am not a fucking trot)

    No, the party understands that the Chinese people don't actually like zero-Covid, but merely tolerate it for the sake of public health but that their patience has a limit. This discrepancy, if left unchecked, will metastasize into resentment over the party and eventually, jeopardize the socialist project. Public health is one thing, but the continuation of the socialist project is another.
