China defends zero-COVID strategy even as Shanghai logs record 21,000 new cases
Chinese President Xi Jinping has praised the country's zero-COVID strategy, even as Shanghai reported a surge in infections to another record. Authorities in China's financial hub are racing to trace and test close contacts of infected patients. Community transmission remains high, 12 days after Shanghai was placed under a strict lockdown. It's unclear when the curbs will be lifted. There has been growing concern that China's zero-COVID approach may prove to be impractical against the fast-spreading Omicron variant.
