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.
Looks like China hijacked coronahoax narrative for China own goals we are not know about for shure. Smart move that allow China write off anything they do to "COVID" and West can't do anything about it, since that will harm Western coronahoax.
Say, f.e. China need to disrupt some Western company production, so they force that "zero covid" sham on factory or on the whole town where it resides. And Western company can't do anything against it and keep its own face because it do nearly same to its employees during lockdowns and other coronahoax events. So, China could effectively control any Western company without any consequences. I even could imagine some China profiting deals that Western companies forced to sign behind the curtain with China.
I have a business with some purely China companies without any Western capital at all, and as they say they never was lockdowned at all and enshure they would not when I ask about reliability of next deliveries dates.
It could be interesting to track the connections between that China zero-covid stiff and companies and businesses that was affected.
I could even imagine that China discovered the potential of coronahoax as lever over West and its own population right after Event 201 and following Davos meeting, and quickly find out how to use them for their own narratives against West. Do you remember that videos with Chineese falling down on streets "from covid"? West fall to them, since they was very useful for coronahoax. And now West just can't turn reverse gear and say anything against any China action that is declared to be done on behalf of covid.
