China in the World Forum | How COVID Changed China?
Event description
The People’s Republic of China was the first country to be affected by COVID-19 and one of the last countries to abolish COVID-19 restrictions. The Communist Party of China’s zero-COVID policy involved strict and extended lockdowns that tanked the economy and, in late 2022, triggered widespread protests. This year’s China in the World Forum brings together global experts to examine the profound and lasting consequences of COVID-19 for China’s economy, society and international relations.
