The question is why are they doing this? Public health?😂😂😂
They have a lot of economic problems, most significantly a real estate crisis which probably results in massive bailouts via money printing. Lockdowns help control price inflation by lessening demand. They also help with their energy crisis with less demand for oil.
Also, apparently, dollar reserves are dwindling as the wealthy are looking to move assets out of China.
So far, I’ve yet to hear any mainstream outlet even entertain the possibility that there might be something else going on.
One side might be Xi is Covid crazy and it’s solely him driving the zero positive policy.
Another option might be Shit is slowly going bad and covid lockdowns are being used to slow down resource drain.
Another one might be China retaliation against the US to lockdown and force the US to print and drive the US economy into the dirt. I don’t think it’s this but I know a few smart people who say we are losing to China and I have it all backwards. That’s possible.
My pick would be more to the first and second so Basically you and I are aligned on what might be happening if we had a guess.
Id wager we see China have a death by thousand paper cuts. Finally after 2yrs they actually seem to be getting some decent civil unrest. 1.3B people to manage…… that’s a lot of unhappy plebs…..
