China Celebrates May Day Quietly as COVID Lockdowns Loom On | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

China celebrated May Day quietly this year. The national holiday usually draws large crowds of tourists, but China's "zero COVID" approach made it difficult for visitors to come, as several cities are facing lockdowns and many travel restrictions are in place. Author of "The Great US-China Tech War" and "The Coming Collapse of China," Gordon Chang, joins to share the economic repercussions of all this on the country. Speaking of COVID, China has halted freight trains from going to North Korea because of the virus, with no indication of how long before trade will resume. Chang discusses how he thinks this decision will impact both countries. On a different note, only 1 person is running for Hong Kong's Chief Executive Election. Chang tells us what is known about the candidate, John Lee, and the policies he has promised to enact. The author fills us in on what else he is following.
