☆ A City’s Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Meets Die-Hard Bureaucrats

SHIJIAZHUANG, China—Memphis has Elvis Presley. Liverpool has the Beatles. The northern Chinese industrial city of Shijiazhuang has to make do with the Omnipotent Youth Society, a local indie-rock band that found national fame from a song unfavorably titled “Kill That Guy From Shijiazhuang.”Don’t stop believin’Local boosters are determined to build this city on rock ’n’ roll, no matter the hurdles. The effort has also run into discord from unhappy residents—and has to contend with the city’s own bureaucracy. Every music performance in China needs to be vetted, down to a band’s costumes and lyrics, and officials have long acted more like The Man than rock rebels.

On a crowded speedboat making a night crossing in rough waters off Colombia in January, Daniel Huang, a former Shanghai fitness trainer, began to regret his decision to try to enter the U.S. via Latin America. He was soaked through by the crashing waves and he feared the boat would tip over. On his cellphone, he said he typed up a farewell note to his father to send if it seemed he wouldn’t make it to the shore on the Panamanian side, where he would start an arduous jungle trek.

HONG KONG—China published a raft of data this week in an effort to show the peak of its Covid-19 wave has passed, though public-health experts continue to question whether Beijing has been transparent enough to enable them to accurately assess the situation. Chinese health authorities said that the daily number of Covid-19 deaths in hospitals topped out at around 4,300 in early January, and by the middle of the weeklong Lunar New Year holiday that ended Friday was down nearly 80% from that level.

HONG KONG—China has opened its doors to the world after three years of zero-Covid controls—at least in theory. In practice, many travelers eager or desperate to visit the country are struggling to acquire the key that will gain them entry. Processing times for visas to enter China have multiplied as the Chinese Embassy in Washington and consulates across the U.S. struggle to keep up with a wave of applications. Many visa offices are closed entirely, leaving would-be visitors to contend unassisted with an online application system that travel agencies say is prone to crashing.

☆ China Reopens to the World as International Travel Restrictions End
  + stars: | 2023-01-09 | by ( Wenxin Fan | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
HONG KONG—Tens of thousands of travelers began to fly in and out of mainland China on Sunday as Beijing removed almost all of its border restrictions, bringing an end to pandemic measures that effectively sealed off the world’s most populous nation from the rest of the world for three years. The Chinese tourists heading abroad bring hope for relief to economies that had come to rely on spending by Chinese travelers in the years before the pandemic. The flow of travelers will likely remain restrained for a while as airlines readjust and some governments keep restrictions in place to prevent importing infections from China’s largest Covid-19 outbreak yet.

As Covid-19 cases trigger a fresh wave of lockdowns in China’s major cities, those living in towns across the country’s remote western region of Xinjiang say they have been enduring a lockdown that has lasted months and local officials have largely kept quiet. Local authorities started ordering residents to stay home after Covid clusters began spreading around Xinjiang in early August. The region’s main cities shut down transportation, trapping some summer tourists until the start of winter. The restrictions remain in many parts of the region as officials struggle to implement orders from Beijing to be more precise in applying Covid controls.
