Chinese President Xi Jinping has praised the country's zero-COVID strategy, even as Shanghai reported a surge in infections to another record. Authorities in China's financial hub are racing to trace and test close contacts of infected patients. Community transmission remains high, 12 days after Shanghai was placed under a strict lockdown.
