Zeroing Out on zero-COVID

Abstract

China’s culture reveres science, yet operates under a government that often defines what “science” is and is not. China’s “zero-COVID” policy has created a bifurcated scientific community that threatens international collaboration in science and technology. A self-isolating China is a threat to itself and a loss to the world.
