Closed China: why Xi Jinping is sticking with his zero-Covid policy

[mili]

It's hard to explain the obvious importance of zero covid to those who cannot think, even if they are a thinktank, or worse, have low regard for their own lives.

China life expectancy now higher than US

COVID-19 helped erase 1.8 years from the average American’s life expectancy in 2020, according to the latest federal mortality data released Wednesday, marking the greatest change in the American lifespan since World War II. During that one brutal year, COVID-19 became the third-most common...

Why is US and the West suddenly so concerned that China has closed her door on them?

Isn't it true that keeping the COVID out is also a matter of National Security.

The cohabitation policy by the US and the West means more COVID mutations will be expected and it is China right to keep them OUT.

FT in recent year has become just another annoucement platform for the USA policy. What journalism?

In 2021 there is only 2 deaths attributed to COVID inside China.

excuse me ? so you are saying Germans cant make toys and British cant make plastic bottles ?

They can't make toy as good quality as Chinese without triple the price. Who is stupid to buy a toy of same quality but triple the price, tell me?

And don't think toy are low tech.

Made in China high tech toy. If it's made in USA or Germany. One such toy cost USD 1500-USD2000 with no improvement in quality compare to made in China.

Back to the topic on hand. The zero-COVID model, IMHO, is just holding back the inevitable.

The best option for the sake of humanity is to share MRNA vaccine technology to all the vaccine manufacturing labs around the world, and come up with a quadrivalent vaccine of the four most virulent strains of the virus and mass vaccinate the entire world once and for all, and then just let the chips fall where they may (taking due precaution to protect the seriously most vulnerable)

Politically and commercially this maybe be unappealing, but the longer this pandemic goes on the worse the overall public Heath is going to become.

We have treatments for many of those that get infected, and the longer we wait the more this virus has a chance to mutate into something even worse.

Yes, they can, but at much higher cost.

The bloodthirsty west really want to see dead chinese. They hate china so much that they think only dead chinese is good chinese. What does zero covid policy of china have to do with them any way? Do they really care about our economy so much rather than their own? Well ,the better and easy way to mock china is to invite gordon chang to talk about the collapse of china one more time rather than endless bitching of the policy of ccp,it won't change anything.

Why U.S. regime propaganda mouthpieces, its foreign puppet regimes and their paid troll armies grasp for imaginary straws to attack Chinas Zero Covid Policy:

1) Distract from their own proven incompetence and inability and lacking political interests to prioritize peoples health over profit and "saving face"
2) Distract from their own in many instances proven to have failed and inadequate infrastructure
3) Its working and serving Chinas interests
4) Its China

It's actually the official CCP position on Covid, he's just doing what he's told and repeating the party line. Xi made the bold announcemnent awhile ago that the CCP had defeated Covid.

the ccp "position" is that there is no covid in china??

im gonna need a source on that.

As far as I know, the policy is called "zero covid" but thats just the name, actual policy is to not tolerate covid and stamp out clusters before it gets worse, not that there is zero covid in china.

Just go back and read the new years speech Xi gave last year, he congratulated his government for an outstanding 2020 during which they 'defeated' poverty and the covid pandemic. The unrealistically low reported covid stats since then tell the whole story really, the CCP has snookered itself after prematurely announcing victory over the pandemic and then using an ineffective home made vaccine. It doesn't have any choice now but to double down and attempt a zero covid approach.

 

[MH.Yang]

but many Chinese were clapping on this forum claiming there was no COVID in China ?

You lied.
PDF Chinese members only claimed that China would try to zero covid cases, but did not say that China is now zero cases.
There are now 6924 confirmed medical records in China. China has not blocked exchanges with foreign countries, so if other countries have COVID, it is difficult for us to achieve zero cases. This is just the direction of our efforts, not our current situation.

Calls to "live with the virus" prioritize money (business) over health and lives. They encourage the Chinese to drop their hugely successful "dynamic zero" COVID policy in favor of the inept, undisciplined model that has caused so much human and economic damage in the West.

lol. because china doesn't want like 4 million dead people isn't a good enough answer?

the west: "it must be because china's hospitals are bad and its government is bad"
meanwhile: their "good" hospitals

notice how i used an article from your same source.

Its a big problem. Covid will reach china and the sinuvac vaccine is nearly ineffective. So the virus hits a population with zero immunity

Then how come it's not being done? You would if you could but you can't so you don't.

It is done already. Most leave for other Countries or back europe

Look at your comments from 2019 to now. You have been cursing China, and you want China to be defeated by COVID.

But your God abandoned you. China was not defeated, and COVID punished you.
Shouldn't you reflect on why your God hates you?
