the corona virus? ah. irish energy welcome to did up the news asia, glad you could join us. china remains probably the only large country in the world still sticking to a 0 corporate approach to the corona, virus pandemic, for its citizens. that has meant never ending restrictions locked downs and regular state mandated testing. and the signs are this will continue for some time, especially given an upcoming communist party congress for president she chin ping is expected to assume a historic 3rd tom in power. authorities want to leave nothing to chance and that is attempt not for many a head if a week of national holidays that begins on saturday. passenger numbers here paint a gloomy job domestic travel. this flight's headed to one of china's top tourist

destinations. upon arrival, the familiar sight of people dressed in hazmat suits as standing by to swaby. this is the city of yan, none in northern chancey province. it's fame for being a war time stronghold for the communists during the chinese civil war, and must visit for party faithfuls. but its status as a read tourism hotspot hasn't shielded it from the effects of coven 19 travel cubs . oh none. ling schwann is a focusing and like many people from yan and relies on travelers to make ends meet santa, to go good. he visited from all over the country have declined. so our income has also fallen, especially for artists like us. life is extremely hard. non says she hopes visitors numbers will pick up over china's national golden week holidays. it's a peak, 7 day holiday period, marketing the founding of modern day china. but the pandemic is hit hard of the

last 2 years. one resident, we spoke to code one c while said it was impossible not to notice the change furniture 3 years ago. tons of people would come here from all over the country and even from abroad to see this historic site. since the pandemic traffic has decreased dramatically, tourist, i'd like to wear mosque and they don't like the idea of maybe not being able to go home. if there's a lock down. i had a, china's twice a decade come this party congress though authorities are tightening restrictions even further. the countries leadership is set for a shakeup. and president, she who is expected to secure a president breaking 3rd term has doubled down on china 0 cove approach to insure stability from lock dan's to constant testing. there's plenty of fatigue, anger, even overcome restrictions, but people don't like to talk about it openly. early this year a thought is one, they take action against any criticism of the countries. cove policies. still,

there are plenty of signs of people cracking this curve. a testing booth was spotted recently sprayed with graffiti saying give me freedom or give me death in this video, circulating chinese social media. a man gets a set off when security tell him to mosque up while he's sitting alone in his own restaurant. joe mesa is a senior unlisted research from trivial china. he says people looking for a quick relaxed ation of covey cubs after congress a likely to be disappointed at main concern. here's about medical resources. right . and the government is very concerned that we're to abandon copays 0. you would certainly have overwhelming apostles. ah, not a medical resources to go around. what we may see is after she is firmly ensconced in his 3rd term and in what sort of the political aspect to serve and squared away . there may be some additional room for policy experimentation. first, on a small scale emitted pers gospel on a larger scale,

it couldn't come soon enough for places like yanna nationwide tourism fell by 28 percent in the 1st half of this year compared to 2021. according to china's chores and ministry. many people's livelihoods here depend on a turnaround happening sooner rather than later. let's get more of this from poland wang in east asia bureau in taipei, which also reports on a china bowen. why is china still sticking to its gold? with 0 approach? where nearly every other country has land to live with the wires. well can stay that the reason why china today is still taking to cobra their old policy. it's because of the political prestigious, because china, where their 1st outbreak was registered, has always wanted to show the world that you can control the pandemic, better than other countries. for the chinese government, from chinese,

chinese government's perspective, the 0 koby lockdown strategy has been successful by some metrics over all china has been able to keep cases. and dest, though, compare with many countries, including u, the u. s. and the chinese government has made that a point of pride, but now they are paying the price for the policy. however, we can also assume that if kobe restrictions are loosened, china will, you know, the potential are picking cases, hospital will be flooded with the patients. and the whole medical system may face a breakdown and the low vaccine nation rate among the elderly. in one medical reason, chinese authority used to justify that ongoing disease control measures. that doesn't mean that china will continue to stick to this policy even after the communist party congress and mid october there. so far, we don't see any, you know,

concrete timeline for evening koby the role policy in china. however, we do hear people that just that the government should consider it comprehensively on sunday, chinese and commentator who she didn't say that, you know, as china pounder, it's coded, 900 policies. epidemic experts need to speak out and the government should conduct comprehensive research and make any study transparent to the public. he said the government should tell people what are the pros and cons of the policy will ordinary people and for the whole country, usually anti government message on social media platform will be censored. but this time you didn't, and many that is enjoying the conversation and hope the government to do something . so we think under the know the pressure, the public from the public chinese government will do something. what of all this meant for there are people in this country,

i mean that the coven policy on. so chinese government explain. that's because the low rates on vaccination rates of elderly people, mostly you know, of the age of 60. and because they are now, they're more like a constitute conservative group of people. they did a long to get the vaccine and that's why they are the potential threat for the country. because if they, if they got effected, then you will cause like a breakdown for the medical system. how is that over europe policy impacting people's everyday lives? boeing so as we saw that in their reporting with the go down week holidays start starting on october 1st. some analysts to predict the there will be a drop in tourist on numbers, and you may heard the charities and industry as well. however, you know,

like chinese cities, including paging shanghai 19 and she on have advice the rest of them to stay put as they're coming a national holidays. and they use this as the approach to reduce the risk of spreading in academic and playing up. so cross country and experts have also noted that the recognition reman cautious as the countries still faces pressure to cover the virus. i'm previously we stole a lot of people in their life who have been impact by the lockdown previously, like some charges that happened on social media platforms like a bus transporting residence to, to call the parenting wage or has crushed and was yeah, killing like very, it's a terrible tragedy upon learning and type a. thank you so much for joining us today. in india,
