The fact is that opposition to ZERO covid policies exists only online. When you browse the transcripts of their statements in the early 2020s, they are all convinced that American democratic freedoms can control the virus that killed thousands in Wuhan because China is a dictatorship. Some of them even came from Taiwan. Although the Chinese characters used in Taiwan are different from those used in mainland China, all you need to do is some very simple settings on the input method app and you can disguise yourself nicely as a mainland Chinese. In fact, many people on the internet are receiving the wrong information. Recently there was a fire in Urumqi (the capital of Xinjiang) that killed ten people. In a resident’s chat room, a man told other residents to “not open the door, there is toxic smoke outside”, but his words were interpreted as “to control the epidemic, residents are not allowed to go out even during the fire”. After a massive terrorist attack in Urumqi in 2009, barricades were installed in many parts of Xinjiang to prevent cars from blowing themselves up. In this neighborhood, the barricades blocked fire trucks. The situation was rumored on the Internet as “the community refused to allow fire trucks to enter in order to control the epidemic”.China does have some unreasonable practices in terms of epidemic prevention and control, but this only occurs in a small number of areas. And the best way to solve these problems is not to surrender to the virus
