China’s Chronic Zero COVID Trauma
15/02/2024
In a commentary on China’s chronic zero COVID trauma by Prof. Donald LOW, Professor of Practice in Public Policy of the Division of Public Policy (PPOL), he commented that the adverse impacts on business and consumer sentiment, which were underestimated by analysts, have become apparent over a year after China abandoned its zero-COVID policy. The initial optimism following China's reopening in early 2023 has been replaced by deflation and a prevailing sense of pessimism, leading to a crisis of confidence in China's economic prospects.
