Friends have said they want a region by region open up, one region opens up at a time, central govt points all resources to that region, once cases decline, move to next region and repeat, eventually China is adjusted to living with covid, while avoiding total system overload from letting it run rampant and crucially, keep death rate low, years and years of lockdowns in untenable for most people, in private conversation, even active party members are getting tired.
Idk the solution, but i think something has to change.
The Omicron variant seems to be a real challenge, but western media will never be content with reality and have to extrapolate to make it look like the economy will shatter and that people are literally going to overthrow the government right now
I think they should build infrastructure to eliminate all transmissible diseases and keep rates at zero for rhinovirus, RSV, flu, everything. Make China the land where no one gets sick and expand the programs outward with open border areas with a post-infection zone encompassing Laos, Vietnam, and the DPRK. Then run constant propaganda depicting the West as sickly, dirty, and diseased
Whether the lockdown should be lifted in principle or not, the government does have to balance the fact that because a lot of the world hasn’t taken COVID seriously, they’ve got a lot of social pressure from their own populace to adapt. COVID will unfortunately always be here because the Western world has no incentive to change or cooperate as long as they can point to China comparatively as a totalitarian hellhole, you know, for taking a global pandemic seriously.
This feels a lot like the spirit of the Berlin Wall conflict of narratives.
