True, and they know it! Privileged chinese people would go and pay for the western vaccines.

It's not like US and Europe don't get waves of COVID. It'd just thay after a while we realized that it was doing more harm than good to even try to shut stuff down.

Well actually they stopped the lockdowns because with the vaccines there were fewer people dying or being in the ICU.

Right. Lockdowns in that circumstance did more harm than good.

Sure, I see your point. Some areas did half-assed lockdowns in late 2021 that were fairly pointless.

Right now we are dealing with waves of influenza, which is hitting us harder than covid. Thanks to the vaccines covid is just a very mild sickness.

Their hospital system is concentrated in large cities, and their medical infrastructure can't cope with an outbreak

Why are you getting downvoted? It's true! A lot of hospitals and clinics are closing in rural America because they can't be staffed or are not worth the cost to keep open.

LOL, this is reddit after all. I'm convinced there are shills who do nothing other than follow posters that don't fit their MAGA narrative and downvote them into oblivion. Brigading.

CCP historically uses the economic growth as justifications of their rule. Due to their fuckups in the one child policy and the housing market, China's economy is going to crash and they are expecting unrests and challenges of their rule if that happens.

Covid is a perfect excuse for the CCP to the keep the boots on the neck of the Chinese people. The CCP has been promoting crazy theories like the US created the virus and is spreading the virus in China to destroy it's economy, and therefore shifting the blame. And Covid also provide the excuse for the CCP to tighten control and crash rebellions before they even starts.

With Xitler just made himself the de faco emperor of China, we will be seeing crazier and crazier things so Xitler can remain in power.
