That’s a very risky strategy, a sudden change from 0-Covid to 0-restriction. You don’t know how good or bad the population immune system will respond. The risk is the uncontrolled virus circulation. Such can create a new virus mutation. Omicron is not the end of the road. You don’t know.
Protestors even shouted " Down with XI and down with CPC", the government didn't seem to have a choice but to concede
Xi is weak, chinese gov has no choice? Interesting that you say it.
I have few friends in china , in Beijing he said everyone he knows along himself has covid . There is no other solution except covid immunity. China should have smart lock downs every now and then . Rest of the world has passed the epidemic stage
AstraZeneca is a viral vector vaccine of 2 doses.
Well Chinese have this thinking, if i can, i will do it. Remember we are lucky this was a mild omicron, if it was delta, we would have been another India. Zero covid worked perfectly for 2 years until March 2022, when omicron came. Now we have to follow the US way, LET THEM WEAK ONES DIE.
I think you have a misconception here bro, China was never under mass quarantine except for Wuhan 2020 and Shanghai 2022. Never was more than 1% of China under any lockdowns. We are not stupid.
I think he used it as an excuse to open up earlier, the plan was March after all vaccinations were completed. Now of anything happens, we will just shift the blame to the protestors. The same tactic was used in HK. He did not quell the protest at all, only local police were used. He let the protest grow and go violent until it disrupted the daily lives of HKers. Then the public opinion changed, and in one swoop, all the mastermind arrested. You don't hear about protests anymore. Lololol. This guy is an old fox outmaneuvering his opponents. His target audience is the 1.4bil Chinese, not HKers not the Western msm. Now public opinion is changing, they now fear rapid reopening, look at the empty streets, shops are open, no restrictions, but fckers are still worried. The truth is majority complain but feel safe under zeto covid,which works at a cost. Remember an extra 100'000 Americans have died since the much ridiculed Shanghai lockdown
