This is one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen in my life. Truly, what are they thinking? How could they ever reopen borders ?

The only conclusion I can draw from it is they’re using the pandemic as ultimate population control?

I believe that is exactly what they’re doing. What better excuse than a deadly pandemic to assume totalizing control over people’s lives?

I really don't see how it's practical long term, but I guess they, like most tyrants think it is.

Comfortably estimating 90% of all the foreigners I know are leaving (or have already left) by the end of the year. End of energy and dynamism, possibly forever.

So... when does this actually result in some sort of demand for change? This idiotic policy can't work forever and the cost seems high. What's up.

Honestly it seems like retaliation for the Shanghai gang and Shanghai politics.

Chinese might end up wanting ROC to retake control of mainland.
