China’s zero Covid policy is not stupid.Someone wrote part of the reasons on Twitter and I agreed most of them.

I am a Chinese but based in Taiwan. The authorities here in Taiwan recently adopted western style Covid policy and the result is cruel.People are not aware of the strict situation as long as the MSM didn’t report them. Though you can always find many Covid analytics on internet. After all you saw images of people dying during the Rus-Ukr conflict but not the virus itself.

I couldn't read well the reasons as I don't use Twitter and I can't see the whole thread. But doesn't the "zero Covid" policy and lockdowns play against the Chinese interests in Taiwan? If there are no protests, then they can't be exploited by the West, right? I don't think "Covid" is or was ever a big threat, and the first videos of "people dead in the street" that appeared in China were obviously fake. So I have no idea what the Chinese are doing. Kit from the OffGuardian had a good article about it: https://off-guardian.org/2022/12/01/the-real-reason-behind-chinas-zero-covid-policy/

I didn’t finish reading the offguardian article, because some of the reasons are so ridiculous and far from the reality in China. I’ll just say many people in China do support zero Covid policy and many don’t. (Well,there is 1.4 billion population😂) They have their own reasons. You can often find the debates on Weibo ( a Chinese social network,something like Twitter+Facebook ) and protest in China is not rare. (Only we get to know there is one when western MSM choose to report it and exaggerated the situation)

Yes, I have to say that I know little about China so I prefer not to speculate about what's going on there... I can only guess. But my own experience with Covid shows that the whole lockdown thing was overblown in the West, and the main purpose was to experiment with new methods of social control (digital passes, etc) and to sell a new type of mRNA vaccines. Since China apparently didn't use those new mRNA vaccines, I don't know what to make of it.

Wonderful article, people need to think about these things. Putting them out of the mind only serves to be unprepared if things go further south. That being said, I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

NoVax Jokovich, Slavik hero. Hypocrisy about Co-vid restrictions in China only works to the extent msm doesn't point it out. But the Ministry of Truth runs a tight ship. Spill the beans and you get thrown overboard.
