Capitalist countries aren’t run by capitalist economists. They’re run by people who own capital, and those people have no interest in doing any sorts of lockdowns. In fact, that is precisely the demographic in China that’s opposed to zero covid strategy.
Again, a capitalist country is one where the capital owning class holds power, a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Such countries all followed the same pattern while China did not.
And it’s absolutely hilarious for you to claim that the reason China was able to beat covid was because it’s more authoritarian than the west. Westerners are truly the most propagandized people in the world.
