The government rapidly put a stop to the protests by putting security troops into the streets and using a sophisticated surveillance system to target demonstrators. However, they also started to loosen limitations, with certain Chinese towns hesitantly reversing movement prohibitions and widespread testing. And China's state-run media, which had previously been dominated by news of the virus's dangers and images of pandemic devastation abroad, radically changed tone to encourage a move away from zero-COVID. After Wednesday's statement, China showed immediate signals of relief. Given that it has been three years, one Beijing resident who preferred to remain anonymous told AFP that it was high time for greater transparency. You can't just advise people not to leave their homes any longer; people need to work and eat, they said. "People who are frustrated right now should stay inside and avoid going out; other people should go to work and carry on with their lives." Some people were more frightened about a pandemic. What should we do if the pandemic situation worsens? "We are very worried; now that we will be fully open, the government doesn't care any further." said 60-year-old migrant employee Meng Qingcheng to AFP. It will be more difficult for us to get employment, he continued. We are also worried because we don't want to catch the disease. Prior to Chinese New Year, searches for flights on Ctrip, the nation's top travel app, reached a three-year high, according to state-run media site The Paper. Following the relaxations, analysts at the Japanese company Nomura predicted that China's GDP will increase the following year. Nevertheless, they issued a warning that China "does not appear to be well prepared for a big surge of COVID infections." China Declares Loosening COVID Restrictions Nationwide
