Ss: china is pretty closed off to the world social media wise but there are many ways to see whats going on their via livestreams, snaps that get out etc.
Their people care less about covid then weirdos in japan, south korea and some western countries. Im constantly looking around the world to see how different people feel about and react to covid ever since 2020. And they barely mask have no testing to enter buildings etc in a lot of places.
There is just no way they have effective testing in all their cities to completely snuff it. Many cities just act like normal.
All their pictures of them looking extremely strict are only true in certain areas. And it seems to be to punish cities that get too superficial to keep them in line like Shanghai. Not for covid.
