the corona virus? ah, i british manager, 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 freight citizens that has meant never ending restrictions loc towns and regular state mandated testing. and the signs are this will continue for some time, especially given an upcoming communist party congress for president sheet. you 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 sights of people dressed in the hazmat suit, 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 red tourism hotspot hasn't shielded it from the effects of coven 19 travel curbs . none, ling schwann is a focusing and like many people from ya and, and relies on travelers to make ends meet summer to go good. he visited from all over the country have declined. so 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 d 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 of china's twice a decade con, 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 turn 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. coven 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 analyst at research from trivial china. he says people looking for a quick, relaxed ation of covey cubs after congress a likely to be disappointed. a main concern hears about medical resources, right. and the government is very concerned that he were to abandon copays 0. you would certainly have overwhelming of hospitals are not in the 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, assert and squared away. there may be some additional room for policy experimentation 1st on a small scale and then it proves 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 our 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 own policy. it's because of the political prestigious, because china, where the 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 old china has been able to keep cases. and dest, though, compare with many countries, including the u. s. and the chinese government has made that a point of pride, but now they're paying the price for the policy. however, we can also assume that if cobra 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 this, this consummation. busy 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 commentator who she didn't say the, 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 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 for there are people in this country. i mean that the coven 0 policy

on. so chinese government, explain that because the low rates, vaccination rates of elderly people mostly you know, above 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 infected, then you will cause 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 a 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 have a device the rest of them to stay put as they're coming. a national holidays, they use this data 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 by the locked down previously, like some charges that happened on social media platforms. like a bus transporting residence to, to call the parenting wage all has crushed and was yeah, killing like very, it's a terrible cause of a po. type a. thank you so much for joining us today. in india,
