COVID-19

Three months after Beijing ended its severe "zero COVID" policy, Bangkok says it is on track to meet its 2023 target of 5 million tourists from China.

The pandemic may have waned, but its economic impact continues to reverberate on the nation's streets.

Involving the military in tackling public health crises is an efficient use of state capacity, but does it signal excessive militarization of society?

The government lowered the legal status of COVID-19 even as it grapples with a deadly outbreak. 

There is a palpable sense of relief in China now that the days of zero COVID are over.

Bali and Chiang Mai are the busiest they have been since the pandemic struck three years ago, but they're still relatively quiet.

Indonesian authorities are hoping that the return of Chinese visitors will mark the beginning of the end for the island's long COVID-19 slump.

Center-local dynamics are incentivizing a cover-up of China’s COVID-19 statistics well before they reach the public.

Those numbers may still underestimate the toll, though the government said the "emergency peak" of its latest surge appears to have passed.

China's move appeared to be retaliation for “discriminatory entry measures” against Chinese travelers amid a surge in COVID-19 cases.

In 2019, before the pandemic, around 11 million Chinese visited Thailand each year.
