Beijing and Washington have dealt with the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in vastly different ways, a split that has reshaped the contest between the world’s two leading economies.
WASHINGTON, DC, USA – The United States backs the right of people to peacefully protest in China, Washington said on Monday, November 28, as protesters in multiple Chinese cities have demonstrated against heavy COVID-19 measures in recent days.
“We’ve long said everyone has the right to peacefully protest, here in the United States and around the world. This includes in the PRC ,” a White House National Security Council spokesperson said in a statement. Beijing’s zero-COVID policy has kept China’s official death toll in the thousands, against more than a million in the United States, but has come at the cost of confining many millions of people to long spells at home. This has inflicted extensive disruption and damage to China’s economy.
