UK Vlogger Praises China’s Zero-COVID Strategy: ‘Saved Millions’

Meet Jason, a British vlogger living in southwest China’s Guizhou Province, who’s gone viral for his candid take on the country’s pandemic response. In a recent video, he called China’s now-retired 'dynamic-zero' policy a 'lifesaver' that prevented millions of COVID-19 deaths.

Why the Shoutout?

Jason, who’s called Xingyi home for years, argued the strategy bought time to ramp up vaccinations and medical resources before Omicron hit.

'It wasn’t perfect, but imagine the chaos without it,'

he said, comparing China’s early pandemic death rates to other major nations.

What’s Changed?

While defending past measures, Jason highlighted China’s current shift to optimized controls and economic recovery efforts. 'Factories are humming again, and people are adapting,' he noted, sharing clips of bustling local markets and tech parks.
