+                                        To date, the total number of diagnoses with Covid-19 all over the world has reached 488 million and the number of deaths has reached 6.14 million. In this article, after making it clear my points of view about China’s measures on the pandemic, I will develop the arguments in detail through replying to the questions of (1) Is there really no other choices besides “living with Coronavirus?” (2) Is it really unnecessary to keep the “Zero Covid” policy? (3) Is the “Lying Flat” policy really useful? I will answer the above three questions by comparing Mainland China’s policy with China’s Hong Kong SAR and some other countries’ responses to the fifth wave of the pandemic.
