Lockdowns, regardless of how much they last, are bloody useless when they are not enforced in a thorough manner and you have nothing resembling a comprehensive public-health plan to keep the virus under control when you start to open things back up.
Reminder that earlier this year when the PRC decided to lockdown Wuhan and the Hubei region people in the west started decrying their actions as 'authoritarian' and ultimately pointless in fighting against the virus (the same rhetoric was also deployed against the SRV)—and in the coming months, when their approach to dealing with the virus was validated through visible results and after they could not simply be dismissed as fake any longer, they started whingeing instead about how the evil CPC 'tricked' the West into locking down for the sake of destroying their economies.
Good memory. I forgot how the original lockdowns in china were all framed as an example of the authoritarianism of the CCP and their lack of "fReEdOm".
