Didn’t China have huge problems with covid later when the rest of the world was pretty much done with it and the only reason the Chinese government stopped their stupid strategy was because of protests? The strategy worked well in the beginning but it went on for far too long. And the consequences were really bad.
The consequences were way better than the let 'er rip nations. If China had a death toll equivalent to the United States, they’d have 5 million dead. Even the “China is lying” people are talking about hundreds of thousands, or possibly a million, not 5 million.
Staying COVID-zero until better treatments and vaccines are available actually does save lives.
