<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>       Chinese authorities have locked down Peking University after finding a single COVID case, evidence of their continued commitment to the country\u2019s zero-COVID policy. <\/p>\n<p> Beijing reported more than 350 new cases in the latest 24-hour period, representing a small fraction of its population of 21 million but still enough to trigger localized lockdowns and quarantines under China\u2019s zero-COVID strategy, as the Associated Press reported. Nationwide, China reported about 20,000 cases, up from about 8,000 a week ago.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       Authorities are trying to move away from the lockdowns, such as those seen earlier this year in Shanghai, that have frustrated locals and prompted protests. And revised national guidelines issued last week instructed local governments to follow a targeted and scientific <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach that avoids unnecessary measures. But that doesn\u2019t mean an end to zero-COVID, a policy that has hurt the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>Peking University has more than 40,000 students on multiple campuses, most of them in Beijing. It was unclear how many were affected by the new lockdown. The 124-year-old institution is one of China\u2019s top universities and was a center of student protest in earlier decades. Its graduates include leading intellectuals, writers, politicians and businesspeople. <\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"inline\n                \" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n          media-object\n          type-InsetYouTubeVideo\n            inline\n    scope-web|mobileapps\n  article__inset\n          article__inset--type-InsetYouTubeVideo\n            article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p>\n<div class=\"dynamic-inset-container article__inset__dynamic\">\n<style>\n          div.youtube {\n            height:0;\n            position:relative;\n            padding-bottom:56.25%;\n          }<\/p>\n<p>          div.<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">youtube<\/a> > iframe {\n            position: absolute;\n            left: 0;\n            top: 0;\n            width: 100%;\n            height: 100%;\n          }\n        <\/style>\n<div class=\"nc-exp-inset-iframe-media nc-exp-inset-youtube\">\n<div class=\"nc-exp-inset-iframe-mediawrap youtube\">\n            <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/dymdO6MkNGg?hd=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"nc-exp-inset-iframe-caption wsj-article-caption\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>       The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> comes as known U.S. cases of COVID are climbing again for the first time in a few months.
