    The economic zone of Zhengzhou Airport in China

China's administration of the economic zone of Zhengzhou Airport announced it will begin lifting some quarantine measures beginning December 1. 

The economic zone is also homes to the world’s largest iPhone assembly factory, the Foxconn plant which is headquartered in Taiwan.

Last month, supervisors of the plant announced the establishment of a "Covid bubble" on its territory, meaning the establishment of fresh lockdowns in which measures to combat Covid-19 are reinforced while staff living on site refrained from leaving the zone. 

A few days later, workers began to complain about insufficient amounts of food and medicines. 

Although management denied these allegations, some videos circulated on social media showed workers violently fighting their way out of the plant.

"The decision has been made to move to normalize prevention and control of the epidemic as of Dec. 1," the economic zone administration said in a statement on WeChat.

According to a statement issued by the administration, residents of Zhengzhou's aerotropolis will by December 1rst have the freedom to travel within the economic zone wearing protective masks with a valid 48-hour negative PCR test for COVID-19; companies, supermarkets, markets, gyms, cafes, and restaurants can resume operations, provided they comply with anti-epidemiological requirements.  

Moreover, those who come from other parts of the city must show a 48-hour negative PCR test, and those coming from other parts of the country will additionally have to do a test on arrival and three more tests within three days.

It has yet to be known what system the Foxconn plant will implement since no statement has been issued regarding the lifting of the bubble.

In recent weeks, China has been the object of heavy criticism over its zero-tolerance policy toward Covid-19. 

China's Zero Covid policy has been described as an oppressive means of controlling its own population, whereas, in reality, such a policy is a luxury that many countries cannot afford to implement due to the heavy toll its implementation would have on the GDP. 

Due to the severity of some outbreaks across the country, the Chinese authorities have ordered partial lockdowns in certain areas, as well as mandatory PCR testing on a daily basis.

On November 1, several news outlets reported that Foxconn offered to quadruple bonuses.
