Li Qiang, the man who was recently elevated to No. 2 on China's ruling Communist Party's Politburo Standing Committee, abruptly called on the reopening of plans sooner than expected, in an attempt to minimize the economic costs of the zero-COVID campaign and demonstrations that had rattled the leadership, according to the four individuals and another individual familiar with the situation. In December, the shot was a chaotic reopening as China unexpectedly lifted lockdowns, mass testing, and other restrictions. Beijing hasn't disclosed publicly that the decision-making process behind the U-turn on the zero-COVID strategy is unclear.
