I thought it was the Omicron BA.1 variant that caused a surge in the west too. But China is more densely populated, with a less vaccinated population, especially the elderly, and a less effective vaccine.
- JamesSwift 4y agoFrom what I understand, their vaccination rates are quite low. This is due to the "social contract" of government lockdowns. The people accept that there will be strict quarantine procedures for positive cases, and so they feel more free to go about life as normal, and likewise avoid the vaccine.
