A massive U-turn in China
ActivTrades
Having maintained a strict zero- COVID policy for almost three years, the Chinese government had become a prisoner of it. The strategy was designed to address the low vaccination rates of the elderly population (80 million people aged 80+ years are not vaccinated and 44% of the population did not receive the third dose, this percentage rising to 60% among people aged 80+ years). And, although studies in Hong Kong comparing CoronaVac with BioNTech’s vaccine have not been conclusive, the Chinese government did not seem to have much confidence in the degree of immunity provided by their own vaccines.

STATESIDE – Halfway through his first term: Biden and the immigration issue
US President Joe Biden is halfway through his first term in the nation’s top job. After an initial boost in favourable poll ratings and with TV and other media pundits, Biden began to slip, until earlier this year he achieved a dubious distinction when he sank “under water” with less than 50 percent approval ratings in the polls. Oddly, Donald Trump and “his” Supreme Court have rescued Biden twice.
