I thought China had vaccines the same as EU/America and elsewhere... Why is Covid crushing the population like this after 2 years. Millions of people about to die that fast again..



I know they had the tyranny laws to control the outbreak but what is going on? shyt scary because this might make the damn virus to mutate some more

Update
New Variant that is highly invasive which sounds like a software update for the virus.. Is now in America

Their vaccines aren't effective and they refuse to import mRNA ones. Most people didn't get boosters on top of that. They have a huge elderly population and they're effectively starving/letting tons of people die when they do the zero covid shyt and lockdowns. They starved my friend and gave him rotten food until he was luckily able to get rations from his grandma

Their govt tried to warn them tho. stupid protestors were taking hints from foreigners who wouldnt suffer the blowback from the safety of our sheltered, first-world healthcare systems




Government should have ignored them for the stability of the state

There is a dude who has a substack called "noahpinion" who does really good writing on china and I was reading his article on Xi's Zero covid policies and it pretty much answers this question. Gives a great breakdown.


Tldr: The Chinese government has a lot of internal propaganda during the peak of covid big upping their draconian measures and their effectiveness. This put them in a bind because they used it as a source of internal national pride as far as showing their superiority over the United State and the rest of the world. But, the dynamics have changed and everytime they lighten up restrictions, their numbers shoot up. So, they lock down again because if covid runs rampant it shows that China isn't so great in this regard like they propagandized to their citizens.

Also, like another poster said, their effective vaccination rates aren't great and they have a large vulnerable elderly population who if covid runs rampant, it will kill a lot of and that doesn't look good for the government. They are stuck between a rock and hard place. Either admit the L that their containment strategy isn't as great as they said or continue swinging back and forth between draconian lock downs and loosening lockdowns which kills their economy and pisses people off.

Dudes just fantasize that they'd be great authoritarians and admire like 1-3 things that authoritarian governments enforce on their people, while ignoring literally everything else that they're more than willing to force on people
