Interesting shit going down in China
Their reaction to Covid provides a stark contrast to ours.

Thank goodness we stopped listening to Fauci. Big thanks to DeSantis on ending our lockdown or
we would likely be in a similar situation.
Fact check: not just false. Stupid.

Ahh, the historical revision has begun. So Fauci didn't push shut down? So DeSantis didn't push back
on those Fauci/Biden edicts? Why are you lying? Have you forgotten?
On this you're no different than Chinese government, essentially - don't believe natural immunity,
don't believe virus has it's evolutionary natural course, believe human intervention will "shut down virus".
Smallpox, Polio just to mention a couple your life is better for because of vaccines.
But go ahead, be the idiot once again. You seem to enjoy the role.
You mean the vaccines before definition change, the one that produce immunity to a specific disease?

You really should do your own research before posting...like this article from Johns Hopkins on why
COVID can't be eradicated like some other diseases such as Smallpox or Polio...

Science keeps fucking up.
It's almost like it's not actual science.

Not really.."COVID-19 infection poses higher risk for myocarditis than vaccines"..from the
American Heart Association (August, 2022)...see link

Thanks for proving my point.
Trust the science!
Which science?
My science!

I don't think you understand Chris's post.
He's just looking for validation that he's spelled the word correctly.
They only communicate in 3 word or less blurbs. Keep it real ya know

Harbor is the spelling and grammar guy.
Chris could have just asked him.
China is facing a number of existential problems
From their new dynamic covid policy to their rapidly aging population to the massive real estate ponzi schemes. They are a threat, but they are an imploding threat.
Hopefully we are taking note of how that government has been able to gain and maintain control of it's population to this point. And hopefully we are actively working to keep our government from reaching that same level of power and control so that we don't begin to face the same existential problems.
Because Covid disproportionally kills the elderly and men, I originally thought it was China’s way
of intentionally adjusting their population dynamics.
Their response seems to be contrary to that.
So that’s why they’ve adopted the “zero covid” policy? Genius!

I would understand your misinterpretation of his post if his subject line was confusing
But it wasn't.
"So that’s why they’ve adopted the “zero covid” policy?"
He didn't offer an explanation for why they have adopted a "zero covid" policy.
After the Jeb thing yesterday...I think you're rushing these posts. Maybe try slowing down a bit.
Oh. China absolutely won't do that. Thousand years tradition of respecting the elderly trumps any
Ideology and policy. China and US are opposite. US is a hell of the elderly but a paradise of children. In China children are miserable but the elderly are well taken care of. Yes, one-child policy enforced from 1980s changed the society and created many new social issues and dilemma. But the tradition is already in people' blood. It won't change. The government doesn't dare to do anything bad to the elderly.
I've wondered the same thing.
It might just be a big power grab. As soon as Xi got his third term he announced that he was going to expand the number of state run enterprises and he more than doubled the number of members on his executive decision board
Putin surrounded himself with yes men, and you have to imagine that was a factor in his decision to invade Ukraine. The new members of the decision board are all said to be Xi yes men.
In the last couple of months he has been able to significantly increase his hold on government; which is crazy given how much control he previously had. I don't know if there is a specific link to his covid policy and his ability to gain that control, but certainly all of the tactics and technology used to implement his covid policy would have been paramount in his ability to gain more and more power.
When the shit goes down you better be ready

I’m sure all the NBA idiots will be coming out and condemning the Chinese government
Oh wait, no they won’t. They only trash their own country.
It is good for them to see the rest of the world at the World Cup not wearing masks...
...Chinese citizens are being locked in their apartments for months on end for hardly any reason at all. And, if you accept their case numbers (which I don't), then there is no justification for it at all. The WHO China case and death numbers are extremely low by any standard...the lowest in the world...in the noise for death statistics for a nation of 1.3B people.
I talk with people from China on a regular basis for business, and we non-Chinese have to pretend that our Chinese counterparts are not being oppressed. It is weird.
I read that they blur the crowd shots to hide that.
China is an awful place. Makes Brave New World seem like a RomCom.
