How successful was China's 'Zero COVID' policy really?\xa0 And what does it mean that the Chinese Communist Party has now abandoned it and COVID is spreading throughout the country?\xa0 James Palmer of\xa0Foreign Policy joins the podcast to discuss COVID in China, the CCP's response, and what this means for more than one billion Chinese people. We talk about how zero COVID worked, why people eventually began to protest it nationwide, how bad things really are in China right now, and how this impacts Xi Jinping's future.
