Chinese have been told the world is dying of covid and only Chicoms and Xi Jinping’s Zero Covid Policy has kept China safe, whereas the rest of the world is dying.
Their media is so controlled they don’t know what BS that is.
Until they saw the World Cup, the crowds, together, no masks, no problem, no fear of Covid etc…
They saw the lie.
Can’t let the citizens peer over the Great Wall that’s been built to keep them in.
