There's no point in doing this, COVID will spread until everyone gets it at least once. You just want to slow it down not to overwhelm hospitals and that it's. And if you immunize everyone there's very few hospitalizations. Just make vaccines available - you don't even need to mandate them, most people will take them, and that's good enough.

#15This is a good reminder that COVID isn't over. I am surprised to read there's guards at the front of people's neighborhoods though. I don't know how I feel about that.
COVID is pretty much over, lockdowns and mask mandates are being lifted around the free world. However authoritarian governments will likely continue to use it as a lame excuse for years to come.

Part of the problem is China's vaccine is substantially less effective than the mRNA ones. "Just make vaccines available" works less for them than it does in, say, the US.

#17I haven't seen yet why China is going into lockdown again. Is there a new variant?

So... maybe.

#19I believe this will lead to anyone in China (Chinese or otherwise) to permanently leave the country if they are able.

China also has much less naturally acquired immunity than everywhere else, and (mysteriously) refuses to make that up with vaccines—it’s not just an excuse, unlike in those authoritarian countries where immunity has already been built up so a lockdown would make a much smaller difference.
