NYT: In China, ‘people have resumed normal lives’ – It has ‘become one of the safest places in the world’ – China ‘will be the only major economy to have grown this past year’ | Climate Depot climatedepot.com/2021/01/08/nyt…
NYT: China "has become one of the safest places in the world. The country reported fewer than 100,000 infections for all of 2020. The United States has been reporting more than that every day since early November."
NYT: "China resembles what 'normal' was like in the pre-pandemic world. Restaurants are packed. Hotels are full. Long lines form outside luxury brands stores. Instead of Zoom calls, people are meeting face to face to talk business or celebrate the new year."
NYT: "There’s no denying that China’s success in containing the outbreak burnished Beijing’s image, especially when compared with the failures of U.S."
NYT: "It has given currency to the so-called China model — the Communist Party’s promise to the Chinese public that it will deliver prosperity and stability in exchange for its unrelenting grip on political power."
NYT: China "will be the only major economy to have grown this past year...one outfit is forecasting that the Chinese economy will surpass that of the United States in 2028 — five years earlier than previously predicted."
