Not mine. In most time of the 3 years, Beijing and other Chinese cities were not in lockdown. People had normal lives in most time thank to the zero covid policy. The present lockdown has not lasted long. I don't believe peoplewould be so upset if there is no outside instigation.
Are you kidding me? Now I don't know if you really live in China or not, open your wechat and check it out if you have one.
Beijing already reported several deaths. No expert in China ever said the virus is as weak as flu yet
Yes, 4 of them in the late 80's and early 90's, do you know how many people living in Beijing and how many elders die from the flu each single hour in this mega city?
4 out of thousands cases. Not a small number. Do you ever consider the number will soar if too many people can not be treated in hospitals after giving up zero policy?
This new variant didn't go out of control in other countries how can you be sure they will only wreck havoc in China? what you claim is just an assumption, not a fact.
SG is a city. Not a good example for reference. Compared to develped countries, China doesn't have enough medical resources
Why the Chinese govenment has to be this stubborn, see the public and college students from all over China now are rising up, do you want to see another 1989? I don't.
Because there are no enough proofs and data that prove the covid is as weak as flu. Once the zero covid policy is given up, there is no turnback. And do you really think people will keep silent if the covid brings disaster result? As I said at #9, they will attribute all fault to government too.
For me, facts does matter.
If that happens then it's the people that asked for it, the government can be off the hook, but now it's likely to evolve into a political storm which may indeed disrupt China's smooth developing to her full potential, at this moment the government should cater to the public will to avoid a high possible social disturbance and chaos.
It's not easy to tell who is lying and who's telling the truth now, what matters now is to end this craziness from both sides.
You know what else there is not enough proof of? Whether a government can survive if it continuously locks its citizens in their homes and prevent them from making a living for an extended period of time. Businesses are going bankrupt left and right, and the working class is struggling because they have no income to speak of. Even government workers are not getting paid in some places.
You forget the silent majority. i'm one of them. Not everyone hates zero covid policy in China.
How do you even know you're "silent majority"? Did you conduct a poll or referendum?
Both you and me clearly know you are not the silent majoity, don't we? the public sentiment now is overwhelmingly for removing lockdowns, let's be honest.
