Authorities in China have reported nearly 60,000 COVID related deaths in the last month. This comes as the World Health Organisation expressed concern about information out of the country up until now. Previously, the nation had reported just over 5,000 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. In today’s deep dive, we look at the new numbers out of China and what they mean amid a departure from the strict zero-COVID policy. You can listen to the last episode we did on COVID in China, "Down with Xi Jinping": Why there are mass protests in China, here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
