I could make the same baseless argument that many people also died due to the over restrictive policies and draconian imprisonment tactics.
Of course 0-covid is only possible if it is maintained forever, because like it or not the rest of the world still has covid.
- d_graeme 4y agoSo in your version of reality, 2 million+ Chinese have died due to 'over restrictive policies and draconian imprisonment tactics' post covid-19.
- kipchak 4y agoI'm not sure it's the best approach, but I would figure they would wait until circulating Covid strains were acceptably less harmful and then reopen.
- chrischen 4y agoThat’s already happening and it was the more mild omicron strain causing the latest lockdowns and the resurgence. Their lockdowns are politically motivated: saving face because they prematurely declared victory, and a need to avoid dependence on western vaccines due to the ineffectiveness of their own vaccines—the latter really just a roundabout way to save face. If you understood Chinese culture, you’d know that saving face is pretty important and makes you do crazy things.
