bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-04/memecoin-frenzy-reaches-a-crescendo-on-back-of-bitcoin-rally
Quick Glance: Bitcoin: Why the Surge Might Not Last

- "It is reasonable to speculate that the Omicron outbreak in Chinese mainland might appear in multiple waves, with re-appearance of new local surges possibly in late 2023," the report said.

Quick Glance: Is Xi Jinping Able to Reopen China?
- Indeed, the political calendar provides a final motivation for Beijing's loyalty to zero COVID: because of the Party Congress, China's leaders have made no move to prepare the state bureaucracy or Chinese society for the huge policy turn that terminating the strategy would necessitate.
- When combined with the greatest real estate crisis in a generation, zero COVID has permanently harmed China's growth paradigm.
- China's economic growth rate dipped to 0.4 percent in the second quarter of 2022.
- For the time being, the Chinese economy is holding up mostly due to robust export growth and the fact that other sections of the country have been less affected by zero COVID.
