Now, as the country rapidly relaxes restrictions, millions of people have been told to keep going to work — even if they’re infected. For three years, its stringent approach has kept Covid cases and deaths relatively low in the country. Covid control workers walk by a closed shop near a community with residents under health monitoring for Covid on December 4 in Beijing. Top leaders at the Central Economic Work Conference, a key annual meeting that ended Friday, said in a statement that stabilizing economic growth was the top priority for 2023. Officials nationwide had worked frantically to contain Covid cases ahead of the highly sensitive twice-a-decade leadership reshuffle, which saw Chinese leader Xi Jinping emerge more powerful than ever into his third term.

Instead of building a 4,500-tonne missile frigate, Taiwan's navy proposes two 2,000-tonne frigates. Taiwan's navy chief of staff says sending major ships to monitor Chinese ships has high costs. "This has significantly increased not only the operational and fuel costs of our ships but also the manpower," Chiang said. He said building the lighter frigates for the shadowing missions would be more cost effective. Beijing considers Taiwan part of its territory that must be brought back under its control, by force if necessary.

A bus rolled over on a Chinese mountain highway on Sunday, killing 27 and injuring 20. President Xi Jinping reasserted his commitment to China's strict "zero Covid" policy in June. The bus was an official government vehicle for transporting people to COVID-19 isolation, The Guardian reported, citing local officials. "She didn't go anywhere apart from going out for PCR tests ... but she suddenly got taken to quarantine and died." China has maintained a strict "zero Covid" policy, putting multiple regions in and out of lockdowns over the last two years, as Insider's Hueling Tan reported.

(CNN) Anger and criticism over China's unrelenting zero-Covid policy has erupted after a bus transporting residents to a coronavirus quarantine facility crashed on Sunday, killing 27 people. It is unclear why a quarantine bus would take people on winding mountain roads after midnight. Other photos and videos show the bus being towed by a truck, its top crushed, and a hazmat suited worker spraying disinfectant on it. While CNN cannot independently verify the photos and videos, the bus license plate in the images matches the plate number reported by authorities. Survivors of the crash are now receiving treatment in hospital, according to authorities.
