China’s Covid-Zero Policy ‘Great,’ Beijing Diplomat Says

China’s ambassador to the United States, Qin Gang, claimed that Beijing’s draconian anti-Covid measures have been a major success, during a press briefing with mainstream outlets Tuesday morning. Throughout the whopper-filled session, Beijing’s man in Washington peddled a series of falsehoods about the Chinese Communist Party’s saber-rattling around Taiwan, in addition to its espionage operations on U.S. soil.

“Given China’s size and population, our work on Covid has been successful and great,” he told a group of about a dozen reporters, according to a transcript posted to the Chinese embassy’s website.
