"Lockdowns and mask mandates are seemingly a thing of the past in the United States, but China's "COVID Zero" policy will remain in place, at least for now.

Despite "unfounded rumors" of an end to the policy — which shuts down entire cities as soon as an outbreak appears — Chinese officials have vowed to stay the course, CNN reports. They're sticking with the policy despite growing signs of internal backlash, and a growing toll on one of the world's biggest economies."
