I would never imagine.
NYT really can't say very much about why China's lockdown is bad except economy reason. Instead they say lockdown is out of date, treating lockdown like a fashionable thing. For the left media there is no truth. The reason they tell the truth today is because of another agenda they support. But they will contradict themselves tomorrow when the truth is no longer convenient.

But pointing that out to you is pointless.

I know there were cities that had stricter rules than I dealt with where I am, but I didn't exactly follow the rules of my local jurisdiction. Nobody arrested me. Worst I had to deal with was a couple of overzealous white women who, turns out, didn't actually believe in equality for women.
I'm with Chris on this one. I'm grateful for this country. I also appreciate the rest of you that are vigilant in making sure we don't turn into those commie bastards.
Lockdown is same in every country. Forbidden travel, closed public services, no park access no event...
What made China different from US and other countries is their ability to keep track of those who tested positive because of their advanced mobile technology that relies on scanning QR codes and an app. The goal is to curb the spread of the coronavirus by indicating who can go where.
But, what happened recently is Chinese lockdown protests. Chinese didn't protest contact tracing. What NYT talked about is lockdown, not contact tracing. We know NYT actually wants to implement Chinese style contact tracing. The left on this board all advocate contact tracing. Most rightists against it. But contact tracing is a different topic. Now the issue is lockdown. Again, there is not much difference on any lockdown.
I think you have no idea how strongly Chris supported lockdown and against reopen back then. Check the old posts.

"To protect public health, I as State Public Health Officer and Director of the California Department of Public Health order all individuals living in the State of California to stay home or at their place of residence except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of the federal
critical infrastructure sectors"
Failed to enforce the order is a different issue. This is exactly the reason why you can't copy China's policy without considering your own country's culture, convention...different condition. Lockdown is Chinese invention if we consider modern society not ancient society. U.S. never had lockdown before Covid-19. All U.S. pre-covid pandemic policy has no lockdown. It is purely borrowed from China after seeing they shut down the spread of virus in Wuhan in February 2020 and got praise from WHO.

Do a little googling about what the Chinese have done in the past two years and ask yourself whether it resembles your covid experience.
Spoiler alert: It doesn't.

Florida
After weeks of criticism for inaction, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis instituted a “Safer at Home” order that goes into effect on April 3. State Attorney Dave Aronberg said that violators could be put in jail for up to 60 days, according to Fox 29.
-----------------------
But in no way did any U.S. state or locality lock people in their homes by welding apartment doors shut like China has done...absolutely no comparison.

we were. Could we go to jail for it no but Whitmer wanted us at home. The order directed residents to stay home unless you were essential.

Your guys' hypocricy. You treat lockdown protesters as conspiracy theorists, right wing fascists and Trump supporters. Go back to read those left media's articles and recall how they demonized them. Here is one from NYT on lockdown protesters.

admitting it.
Going on in China? LeBron going to show up with another book “he just started” to tell us how bad the Chinese government is? How about Greg Popovich or Steve Kerr? I’m sure the MSM will ask them the next chance they get, right?

Calling Ben Stiller. The oppressed of China need your rear end there for support like you did for the Ukraine people. How 'bout it pal? Lebron, Steve Kerr, John Cenna. Your silence can be heard around the world.
Going to take a lot to get them off their Ukraine flag but I wonder if this could do it?
They are in way too deep with China.
