I don't believe this in a majority of my brain, but the thought has crossed my mind that China's draconian COVID response is to hide their real estate collapse and other macroeconomic problems.
- ripper1138 4y agoTheir COVID response is mainly about control. for a time it was also about nationalism (look at how many people are dying in the west). At this point it’s control and a little bit of Xi not wanting to change the policy until after he has secured another term.
- carlivar 4y agoBut that can also be true. Global economic stuff is out of China's control so how better to hide it than with something where they are in control?
