The disastrous implications of lifting Zero-COVID in China
www.wsws.org
The objective laws of viral transmission mean that any shift away from a Zero-COVID elimination strategy carries with it the potential for the situation to quickly spiral out of control.

(note: while WSWS (trot site) uses CCP instead of CPC, they generally have good takes on China and support China against US imperialism)

(note: to clarify, this article is in support of Zero-COVID and sees the lifting of the policy as a grave mistake)

(note: i do not necessarily support all the shit wsws says i am not a fucking trot)

    I am not a trot. WSWS is the best I found, not the ideal source.

      this article is filled with trot shit, calling socialism in china a "fallacy" and demanding they keep up utopian levels of effort at a doomed project the rest of the world has rejected and will never accomplish

      perhaps if the best source you could find with this opinion, then it would be worth reevaluating your opinion

          If the best source of your opinion is a Trotskyist website advocating for china to escalate it’s zero covid policy into a global revolution then yes, perhaps evaluate lol

          Besides, most of the imperialist core’s state media have also adopted the position that china relaxing it’s zero-covid policy is now somehow bad and catastrophic, as though they were not saying the exact opposite three days ago.

                You're doing the Parenti quote except you've taken the opposite of the intended message.

                Besides, the 'best source of [their] opinion' isn't a trot website, it's literally every doctor in the world.

                  I’m literally posting Parenti emoji elsewhere, so yes, that is the point I’m making.

                  I trust the CPC to be handling this in the correct way that benefits the people of China.

                    Except you seem to have taken the exact opposite of the intended meaning of it

                    In the context of you arguing in favor of Let 'Er Rip you brought up the fact that western media agrees with you now
