I know people are saying Shanghai is a shitshow because of the local government. But do you think it might have been a bad idea in general to deploy such a harsh policy in the country? (asking in good faith as someone who would not mentally survive such long lockdowns)
I think the zero-Covid strategy has not only preserved lives in China, but contributed to the increase in valuation of the Yuan since western supply chains are disrupted by it. A net win for the CPC, no?
