S1E50: China tightens restrictions with flash lockdowns as Covid-19 cases flare-up
b'
Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the latest developments in China in this weekly podcast.
\\nThe Straits Times\' China bureau chief Tan Dawn Wei chats with Money FM 89.3\'s Elliott Danker.
\\nAn increase in cases makes China tighten up restrictions again, but how sustainable are these "flash lockdowns"? On the international front, despite the strong words directed toward the US during Minister Wei\'s speech during the Shangri-La Dialogue, his meeting with US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin on the sidelines of the summit could indicate that China does not want their relationship with the US to veer into conflict.
