. >> at the communist party national congress in october, xi stressed that national businesses is necessary china to maintn economic growth. but leaders of the firms and others in china increasingly concerned as xi has given no indication of when he'll drop his government's zero covid policy and the repeated lockdowns it brings zbrchlt i can't go home to see my family because of quarantine restriction ands my family cannot visit me. visit my friends, 57 have left. >> this japanese logistics company in shanghai had to close the warehouses during the lockdown in late march. it was six weeks before it could resume operations. a hiatus that pushed sales down to half their average. now the firm is preparing for future restrictions by readying sleeping bags and drinking water so employees can live with what is necessary. the firm is not considering pulling out of china as it has put effort into growing its business there but it is struggling with how to proceed. >> to be honest, i think the zero covid policy so far has been very strict. >> and a group of more than 1800 companies may leave europea

>> what is possible because even last month the communist party national congress met and xi jingpings control of the party, it was clear of the party was losing control of chinese society. that is one of the most graphic demonstrations of that was the iphone protest and that enormous plant more than half of the world's iphone spirit so, it was clear that the party was losing its grip there. this fire on thursday just confirmed that that the chinese people just want freedom. >> carley: it is wild to think the second largest economy in the world 1.4 million people living in china are living under the zero lockdown policy where if covid numbers go up, you get locked down not just a suggestion. you get sealed into your apartment building. you can't go outside. what is the thinking behind this? is this about control over people? a little bit of self sabotage because if you get locked in your apartment and can't go to work, it is affecting your economy but why is this happening? >> i think for a couple of reasons, first of all xi jingping wants to control the chinese people. he has known t

xi-jinping was very clear in his october 16 work report to the 20th communist party of national congressere's no change in zero-covid. since then we've also heard lower officials actually talk about the same thing. no change to covid-19 rules. stuart: but gordon? i notice that the iphone factory , the foxconn factories, they have lots of new cases reported, but they've not locked it down. my interpretation is they cannot afford to stop iphone production the country can't afford it. now that's a limitation on zero- covid isn't it? >> well it is, but it's a very narrow limitation. so you know, you're talking about the province, the capitol, 5 million people now are under lockdown, because of handful of cases and we have seen this in recent days as well. you know, there are rumors that there will be a relaxation to all of zero covid by the end of march next year. we'll just have to see. we've heard these rumors before. they have not proved to be true, maybe this time, you would think so but we just have to wait. stuart: okay, the white house dodging questions on whether president biden will

since he got this precedent-breaking third term in office in last month's communist party congress about threats to china's nationalecurity. he was dressed up in military fatigues just last week talking about the need for china's military to be prepared for war. one of his chief complaints about the u.s. is he accuses it of creating cliques, as the chinese state media describes it, basically coalitions with other countries that beijing sees as isolating and surrounding china. this is like the u.s. deal with britain to provide nuclear submarines to australia. the quad, which is the u.s. and japan and india and australia working together doing -- conducting joint exercises. and you do see xi jinping, after years of relative isolation due to the pandemic, coming to bali, making an outreach, face-to-face for the first time not only with the u.s. president, also he is going to meet with the french president, emmanuel macron, and with the australian prime minister, we've just learned, with whom relations have been very tense as well. chinese diplomats, chinese state media, have acknowledged how bad the relationship is wi

we have had the party congress, so the new leadership for the communist party is in place, but the way the system works is the top government jobs are not dvd up until the nationals congress in march. so, my expectation is winter, the vaccination campaign, and they need to get people into their government jobs means that we are probably looking at the second quarter of next year before we start seeing substantial moves. guy: john li goes to a peck -- opec, gets covid, comes back to the airport after meeting xi and tests positive. how problematic is that? tom: the optics are troubling. part of it is china has made or thinks it has an anonymous amount of political capital because of the relative success of their policies in containing covid, compared for example to the united states. china has had a few thousand people die from covid. here in the u.s., sadly that number is in the millions. so, the additional constraint on the freedom of maneuver here is how do they maintain that positive story, right? clearly that means they do not want a wave of cases, clearly no one wants to see a wave of deaths, and seeing members of the leadership having covid, well, that's no
