Residents in Beijing return to work after muted holidayChina will fight criticism of COVID response - state TVBEIJING/SHANGHAI, May 5 - Beijing residents tentatively returned to work on Thursday after a muted five-day Labour Day holiday devoid of the usual trips across the country or lavish family dinners, as China pledged to fight any criticism of its uncompromising "zero-COVID" policy.
The capital's streets were less hectic than on a normal working day as officials encouraged people to work from home and scores of bus and subway routes were closed. But China's attempts to eliminate COVID, at odds with the rest of the world which is opening up and trying to live with the disease, have prompted rare public criticism at home.
