Zero-Covid remains a dilemma

China’s zero-Covid policy is criticized due to its unsustainability in maintaining normal social activities and the damage it causes to economic growth. However, at this point, the government faces a real dilemma regarding whether to relax Covid restrictions. The low vaccination rate among the elderly population plus an insufficient level of medical treatment capacity could translate into disastrous death rates if dropping the current covid measures. Therefore, it is highly improbable that existing covid restrictions will be removed in the short term.

The UN Climate Change Conference COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, comes at a tense time in geopolitical terms.

If you sit between two chairs, you sit uncomfortably!

China's stance in the Ukraine war is a source of much discussion: Beijing calls itself neutral, while critics speak of "pro-Russian neutrality" at best. But a closer look reveals how China attempts to take the "middle" ground.

Chinas Haltung im Ukrainekrieg sorgt für viel Gesprächsstoff: Peking selbst bezeichnet sich als neutral, während Kritiker bestenfalls von einer „pro-russischen Neutralität“ sprechen. Doch wer genau hinschaut, erkennt, wie China versucht, eine „mittlere“ Position einzunehmen.

Wie Xi die Wirtschaft stärken könnte

Es ist Zeit, zu Xis wirtschaftlichen Erfolgen Bilanz zu ziehen, findet Wirtschaftsprofessorin Nancy Qian. Chinas Ökonomie blühte, als Xi vor zehn Jahren sein Amt übernahm.

Say it in Chinese: 2-4-4-2

The ideologists among China's party leaders are clearly fond of numbers. They can be found in many of Mao Zedong's slogans, and Xi Jinping also likes to use catchy ciphers. In the last ten years, the political language in China changed; with a dictionary alone, some terms in the party language cannot be deciphered.

Blowing down the CCP's house of cards

Deng Xiaoping understood that a rules-based system was essential to avoid a repeat of the fanatical terror unleashed under Mao Zedong. But his conviction could not overcome his self-interest, and, as President Xi Jinping has shown, the institutional edifice Deng built in the 1980s turned out to be hollow.

Das Kartenhaus der KPCh zum Einsturz bringen

Der Politologe Minxin Pei argumentiert in seinem Gastkommentar, dass Deng Xiaoping verstanden hatte, dass ein auf Regeln basierendes System innerhalb der Partei unerlässlich war, um eine Wiederholung des unter Mao Zedong entfesselten Terrors zu vermeiden.
