SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Yanzhong Huang -  Is Zero Covid Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda?
DESCRIPTION:Register now for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: Is ‘Zero-COVID’ Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda? Five Unintended Consequences \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yanzhong Huang\, Professor and Director\, Center for Global Health Studies\, Seton Hall University \n\n\n\nChina’s zero-Covid policy\, while shielding the country from Covid-19 and facilitating state control over society\, also has compounded\, even undermined its ability to cope with other domestic challenges by generating unintended\, and often undesirable outcomes in Chinese society.  The downstream impacts or unintended consequences include but are not limited to: 1) economic slowdown and rising youth unemployment rate; 2) the reduced desires of young couples to form families and reproduce; 3) increased mental health issues; 4) ) growing non-communicable disease burden; and 5) setback for the healthcare reform. In the meantime\, singled-minded pursuit of zero-Covid has stretched thin bureaucratic and fiscal capacity\, highlighting and exacerbating the inadequacy of the state capacity in addressing the growing domestic challenges.    \n\n\n\nIs ‘Zero-COVID’ Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda?
