[Closed] China's Descent into Madness

Joe · 2022-04-24T14:53:13Z

I am shocked by the lack of coverage across the 24-hour broadcasters and newspapers on what is going on in China. I know most broadcasters now don't have anyone left in the country (they can no longer get visas), but it feels like China may be on the edge of a Tienanmen moment. My sister lives in Chengdu and for several nights now the internet has almost been turned off. Beijing looks to be heading for a full covid lock down. Words like "happiness" are now banned from We Chat and other social platforms. It turns out that the new world order is actually the old one. The Ukraine war has shown Russia to be a useless and dysfunctional basket base with the third rate military, and covid has shown the Chinese system of government to be utterly incapable of being pragmatic or practical in the face of adversity. Europe is the only sane place to live in the world. Thank god we were lucky enough to be born here.

With earlier hostility towards AstraZeneca China cannot be the only country accused of attaching nationalistic considerations to their vaccination policy.
