Zhao (Yunnan Observatories of CAS) on behalf of a larger collaboration, report:

Following the detection of GRB 211223C by Swift (Evans et al. GCNC 31288), the 0.6m BOOTES-4/MET robotic telescope at Lijiang Astronomical Observatory (China) automatically responded to this burst starting on Dec. 23 at 21:58:25 UT (~7.5 hours after trigger). No new source is detected within the BAT error region in the co-added image (60 x 20 s, clear filter) down to 20.1 mag.

We thank the staff at the Lijiang observatory for their excellent support.
