Meanwhile, the Anbound Research Center, a Chinese think tank based in Beijing, published a report pointing out that “China’s economy is at risk of stalling” due to the “impact of epidemic prevention and control policies.”
It called on the Chinese regime to change its “zero-COVID” policies that have caused the shutdown of cities and disruption of trade, to prevent an “economic stall” in the second half of the year.
The report was published on Anbound’s official accounts on Chinese social media WeChat and Sina Weibo on Aug. 28 but was deleted from both platforms the day after.
