In pursuit of zero COVID, China starves its citizens

For some time now, China has presented itself as a rapidly ascending nation that is completely in charge of its destiny and one that escaped COVID with little harm. However, that appearance may be illusory and China may be more unstable than the image it promotes to the world.

China, with a bit of help from Fauci’s NIH, gave the world the gift of COVID. Even if it didn’t create the virus in a Wuhan lab (although I believe it did), China’s policy was to hide the virus, and then, even as it locked down its own people, it put Chinese citizens on airplanes to spread the virus throughout the world.

Whether this was simply because the communist Chinese government doesn’t care about the outside world or because it had a nefarious plan, the effect was the same: A pandemic began that had crippling effects on the world at large. And, in a special blessing to China, the West chose to embrace policies that destroyed Western economies while heightening the Wests’ drift to totalitarianism.

All the while, China insisted that it had COVID under control. According to the government, its early, aggressive measures meant that the virus wasn’t spreading throughout China. Its “Zero COVID” plan, it claimed, was working. And with that alleged success at its back, China continued to expand its reach with the Belt and Road initiative, building and seizing seaports and airports in poor countries around the world, and its man-made islands allowing it to push further into the South China Sea.

It turns out, though, that things may not be quite so good for China after all. You don’t have an effective Zero COVID policy when your largest city (Shanghai) has such an aggressive COVID outbreak that you lockdown all 26 million people.

Ultimately, people are a detriment to authoritarian governments and such governments view them as something to exterminate.

If they kill all the dogs and cats, what are the Chinese going to eat?

Soylent Green?

I’m also thinking that maybe China is heading into a famine and is really rounding up the dogs and cats to feed officials and leave the people with nothing.

Be aware that such things have been starting in China and appearing in the US a month or two later. Heads up.

It’s certainly not the first time China’s starved its citizens. 10s of millions starved to death in The Great Leap Forward. And the world hardly cared.

They are getting ready for total war, that’s why they’ve been stockpiling commodities for over two years and may have been the ultimate endgame of the coronavirus release all along.

Thanks! This is beyond intesting:!

Definitely a case of the cure is worse than the disease.

[LouieFisk]

Yeah, it’s scary what those poor people are going through. I’m thinking that they’re going to hold back on sending for to the US & elsewhere - they don’t want their people to get POed enough to start a real communist revolution where the leaders are shot alongside the corporate CEOs!

I like Threadreader - you don’t have to go to twitter to read a series of tweets and it’s much easier to read & follow along.

Thanks for the link and your comments.

Good.

"For over two weeks the financial capital of China, Shanghai, has been locked down tight. Some 26 million people languish in their apartments, staring at their now-empty refrigerators, unable to set foot outside to forage for food for fear of arrest and incarceration."

F'em. Mandarin confucianist sub-human communists. They believe Xi is Great Reader rof New Dynasty -- even though their bellies are swollen from hunger -- just. like. their. dirt-eating. beroved. ancestors. before. them. SCHADENFREUDE!
