Multiple news reports in the past said that the strong restrictions in Shanghai have nothing to do with the disease numbers and have more to do with punishing Shanghai being a center of opposition to Xi’s faction. People forget that China is not a unified party government even though they try to keep that face
Zero-COVID is INSANE. For a population, it’s gonna getcha, getcha, getcha sooner or later. Look at the formerly “zero-COVID” New Zealand. They could delay their “epidemic” but they caught it eventually.
If China decides on a ZERO COVID policy who are we to interfere? GO FOR IT!
It’s part of power struggle. They have no law.
After Xi gets the third term officially it’ll probably end.
The more revelations about the virus, its origins and the allegations behind the jabs get publicized, the more it makes sense why the CCP is committed to both insulating their population from the virus and the western jabs as well.
‘Irrational’ was the perception prior of their ‘zero covid’; ‘sensible’ would now be my chosen word. This is much more than just about controlling their population.
