While it was expecting China to grow by 8.1% in 2023, the World Bank has revised its forecast downwards to 4.3%... And the wave of COVID could make things worse.
Notice that the restrictions are to "slow the spread" not prevent infection. therefore the expectation must be that almost everyone will acquire the virus at some point. If the vaccine was truly effective it would prevent the spread. Case in point polio. Has anybody gotten polio lately?

Mao would be livid.
