the corona virus? ah. i british manager, welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us. try now remains probably the only large country in the world still sticking to a 0 corporate approach to the corona, virus pandemic, for its citizens of that has meant never ending restrictions locked downs and regular steep 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 a damp no. from many a head if a week of national holidays that begins on saturday, passenger numbers here paint a gloomy job domestic travel. this flights headed to one of china's top tourist

destinations. the high upon arrival, the familiar sights of people dressed in hazmat suits are standing by to swaby. this is the city of yan on in northern chancey province. it's fame for being a war time stronghold for the communists during the chinese civil war. must visit for party faithfuls, but its status as a red tourism hotspot hasn't shielded it from the effects of coven 19 travel curbs . none ling shrunk as of focusing, and like many people from urine and relies on travelers to make ends meet. such, you could have visitors from all over the country have declined, so our income has, oh, i fallen especially if artists like us. life is extremely hard. nonsense. she hopes visitors numbers will pick up over china's national golden week holidays. it's a peak, 7 day holiday period, marking the founding of modern day china. but the pandemic has hit hard at the last

few years. one resident we spoke to cold warranty while said it was impossible not to notice the change from you 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 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 of china's twice a decade con, this party congress though authorities are tightening restrictions. even further, the countries leadership is set for shakeup and president, she, who's expected to secure a president, breaking 13 has doubled down on china 0 cove approach to insure stability from locked 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 curve. 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. jew mesa is a senior enlisted research from trivial china. he says people looking for a quick, relaxed ation of covert curves after congress. a likely to be disappointed. a main concern hears about medical resources right on the government is very concerned that he were 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 one sort of the political aspect, his work and squared away, there may be some additional room for policy experimentation. first, on a small scale medical pers caspell 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 tourism 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 covert? 0 approach? where nearly every other country has land to live with the wires. well can say 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 coby 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 eating coby, the real 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 and demick 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 for 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? there are people in this country. i mean that the coven,

jiro policy so, chinese government, explain that because the low rates, vaccination rates of elderly people mostly you know, up up the age of 60. and because they are now, they're more like a constitute conservative group of people. they don't want 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 caught like a breakdown for the medical system. how does that go with your policy impacting people's everyday lives? bowen? so as we saw that in their reporting with go down week holidays, start starting on october 1st. some analysts to predict the there will be a drop in tourist numbers and you may heard the charities and industry as well.

however, you know, like chinese cds, including paging shanghai 19 and she on her advice, the rest them to stay put as they're coming national holidays. they use this approach to reduce the risk of spreading in academic and displaying obs across the country. an expert has 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 bye to the locked down. previously, like some charge that happened on social media platform 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,
