China's total deaths from covid are likely in the tens of thousands. These "extremely harsh" zero covid policies have saved countless lives in the most populous country in the world (and lives in other countries). This is a pretty bizarre thing to criticize China about. In terms of the total amount of people they've had to lockdown and for the total length each person had to be locked down for, they've done way less than any other major country including the US

Now the lockdowns weren't nearly as severe as those in China, but it's interesting the average Chinese citizens only had to endure a few days of lockdown (obviously the distribution is massively skewed).
