That's exactly my concern too - right now China's response looks great on the world stage... but the pandemic isn't over yet and China rolled out an extremely ineffective vaccine that leaves their population quite vulnerable.
If this disaster spreads to other Chinese metropolitan areas it would be devastating.
- sharken 5y agoExactly this, the Chinese developed vaccine Sinovac is the primary cause of the poor COVID results. It simply doesn't do the job well enough, but good luck trying to make the Chinese leader choose an American product. So the stubbornness of the regime is at fault, but with no limits on terms anymore, i see only bad things for the future of China.
- phatfish 5y agoOr a German product ;) Although it seems they have recently gotten round to some extensive testing for an mRNA vaccine. Makes you realise how advanced the Biontech and Moderna vaccines were. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/china-walvax-says-has-most-participants-large-covid-19-mrna-vaccine-trial-2464376 https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/china-walvax-says-has-m...
- Ericson2314 5y agoGosh for all sorts of reasons, direct and indirect, I hope this walvax turns out good.
- sharken 5y agoDidn't know this, that is great news for all Chinese citizens. Better late than never must be the motto China is going for.
- nradov 5y agoChina's response actually looks terrible on the world stage. I didn't see any other countries welding people into their apartments as a drastic overreaction.
- godelski 5y agoI'm not sure why this is downvoted. This is literally what the CCP is saying, except maybe the part about the efficiency of their vaccine. But other than that, yeah, it is in line. The "0.5% of a billion people is still a lot of people, we can't take that risk" is exactly what they are saying.
