People have extended social circles in PRC that span hundreds to thousands depending on connections. Family & friends, their acquaintances, coworkers etc. No one I know in PRC has or knows of anyone that's tested positive. Reports are similar from other PRC diaspora as well. Including business owners with thousands of employees.
Whereas every Chinese diaspora knows of someone getting covid abroad. Every Indian / Pakistani I know have lost people during delta wave back home. Everyone I know in west knows someone whose tested positive during omicron. And this is with noticeable lockdowns, congested hospitals, burning dead bodies on the streets. Versus PRC that has been open since mid 2020 except for targeted lockdowns.
There's also other indicators like import case statistics that many countries maintained into 2020. The TLDR is while flights from North America / EU and other regions were transporting massive amounts covid positives in repatriation flights early in the pandemic, PRC exported very little in the months after Hubei lockdown and then as far as I know, none.
