China reported more than 31,000 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, a record level that comes as the country maintains its “zero COVID” approach roughly three years into the pandemic.
China on Thursday reported 31,656 new cases over the previous 24 hours, the highest daily figure since the country first detected the virus in Wuhan in late 2019.
The country has continued to implement its strategy of eliminating cases entirely, including aggressive lockdowns and containment measures after most of the rest of the world loosened their pandemic restrictions.
But China’s strategy has also limited those who were exposed to the virus, preventing the buildup of a large natural immunity in the population despite high vaccination levels.
China has reported 9.5 million COVID-19 cases since early 2020, according to the World Health Organization.

The hubris of “Zero Covid” is coming home to roost.
‘bout time.
Will We ,
As the Super Power
of the Free World ???
I wonder if China is trying to start another world shutdown....
I think they’d like to.
And I know there are Democrats who are nostalgic for those spring of 2020 days when things were shut down, the economy was in free-fall, people were avoiding being near each other, enjoyable events were canceled and people went around with their faces covered, looking like idiots.
But I believe there are more of us than they realize who won’t go along with that crap again. Some of us didn’t go along with it the first time around.
Zero Covid is impossible.
No GDP released for three straight quarters, and lockdowns.
Great economic policy.
Yeah, how's that working for you, China?
More dead bats are escaping from the market?
with a population of 1.5 billion that’s ridiculous
Same thing with Australia now as I understood it. And they scoffed when anyone brought up natural immunity and exposure as a way to shorten it...
Trying to fight the virus seems to do more harm than good.
Did anyone tell them about ivermectin?
The leadership here is acculturated to never admiit a mistake.
Like stubbornly trying to conquer an airborne manmade virus via “ zero covid’ policy
That, plus they insisted on using only their own home-brewed "vaccine" which is even less effective than Pfizer's....yes, such a thing is possible.
It would really difficult to do that in China, the country is so large and the flow of information and tracking of people is so controlled it makes any organization really difficult if not impossible.
In isolated instances, like the IPhone factory that is still ongoing, people have been rioting and have overwhelmed the local police and some concessions have been granted.
Information is so contained that I read somewhere when the Authorities decided to crackdown on the tiananmen square rioters they had to bring in troops from outside of Beijing because the local troops would not fire on their neighbors and in some cases family members.
More likely they’ll give in to despair with rising suicide rates and crashing (even more) birth rates.
Nothing out of china is factual.
Fact.
That means any conclusion based upon such inaccuracies are rooted in fantasy or, worse, delusion.
Considering thinning the herd, that is.
“Nothing out of china is factual.”
My immediate thought too.
Immediate thought was: What and who are they trying to manipulate now ??
This is our excuse to shut the door on them...no entry.
