China: from “Zero Infection” to “Dynamic Zero”. How are we preparing to change the policy on covid, with 800,000 people in segregation?

In a complex international framework, China is facing the most recent outbreak of Covid-19 and is probably preparing to change its preventive policy . Let's start with the Covid-19 situation:

• The Dalian region issued a warning on Friday announcing the total lockdown of the city of Zhuanghe, sternly warning local residents not to leave without authorization. Approximately 800,000 citizens of Dalian and Zhuanghe are in lockdown, of which 400,000 are in Zhuanghe. In this city 60 students in the university city have been infected and more than 3,000 people need to be evacuated as a matter of urgency. The outbreak is therefore extensive and serious;
• Peking University reported an outbreak on Friday. Four students reportedly developed a severe fever after attending the cafeteria and this led to the closure of the campus, which was also placed in lockdown The images uploaded by the students showed that there were people wearing white protective clothing disinfecting the premises .

In total, it is estimated that around 800,000 people are in tight lockdown in China, and this three months after the start of the Beijing Winter Olympics, yet another inopportune propaganda window for the government. Meantime

Liang Wannian, head of Covid-19 experts at the National Health Commission of China and a professor at Tsinghua University, said the current goal is to normalize the epidemic through prevention and control by moving from a "zero contagion" policy to that of the "dynamic reset". According to many scholars, this means that the government is about to abandon the policy of total lockdowns, which are extremely expensive and not very popular, because they are in any case not effective, trying instead to achieve that of "Eliminating" the epidemic, which would allow, at least, to save the face. The "Epidemic Economy" costs too much and appears not to be applicable with the Winter Olympics in sight.

Meanwhile, virtual talks were held between Xi Jinping in Biden, which lasted four hours, the parties praised peace and an improvement in the international framework. The right communication to attract the USA to the Olympics
