Beijing ramps up COVID quarantines, Shanghai residents decry uneven rules
BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) -Beijing stepped up quarantine efforts to end its month-old COVID outbreak as fresh signs of frustration emerged in Shanghai, where some bemoaned unfair curbs with the city of 25 million preparing to lift a prolonged lockdown in just over a week.

The capital reported 48 new cases for Monday among its population of 22 million, with Shanghai reporting fewer than 500.
