The Chinese people have tasted freedom in a way that German’s could have never imagined. The leadership is losing control...then suddenly this magic ‘virus’ appears allowing them to flex their muscle.
It’s amazing how such a horrific virus has not left hundreds of thousand, if no millions of dead bodies scattered across Asia and Europe isn’t it? If not for the ‘heroic’ efforts of the Chinese government....
We’ll see.
China’s leadership might be able to maintain control through this.
But rest assured, while they may be using the virus to mop up dissent, they’re not crashing their economy deliberately just to mop up dissent. They could (and did) do that without a virus, quarantines of hundreds of millions of people and digging up the roads.
