This is just another variation of the old argument that China's growth is fake. > They are "locked down" even if they aren't stuck in their houses anymore. Beijing is not under lockdown. Pretty much everything is open, and has been for more than a year. There are testing requirements to enter Beijing (which is something that's particular to Beijing), but that's it.

> This is just another variation of the old argument that China's growth is fake. China admits that a large part of their GDP is building and tearing things down. There is no "fakeness" about it, it just is what it is. > Beijing is not under lockdown. Pretty much everything is open, and has been for more than a year. There are testing requirements to enter Beijing (which is something that's particular to Beijing), but that's it. Beijing is not under lockdown, it just isn't an open city right now.
