This seems to be the agreed upon uniform story between the various Chinese posters: it's not the strategy, it's the incompetent local Shanghai officials! It's neat, they used the same thing in the UDSSR many times. But it seems unless you bring the China-style lockdown to every other part of the world outside China, it will just keep happening over and over again.

This isn't just hindsight. As Shanghai's case numbers steadily rose and the government did nothing, I was telling friends that the result would be a disaster. What really worried me was when Shanghai announced that they were so economically important that they couldn't lock down. That convinced me that they had given up on zero-CoVID and were adopting the Western "living with the virus" approach, without fully admitting it to the public.
