The numbers contradict official figures from Beijing, which has been accused of underplaying the impact of Covid being unleashed on its population.

    So about 1/3 per capita compared to the US?

      Well the government misrepresenting the figures is also a big part of the article but that also happened in the US. Then they anonymously quote a source who “fears government retaliation” for speaking out. Something which actually happened to a whistleblower in Florida.

      But hey, China Bad.

        To be fair though, just because something bad happened in one country doesn’t mean that now it’s fair game in all the other countries to do the same bad thing.

          I feel like there’s a bit of false equivalency too, a state gov retaliating isn’t the same as a federal gov retaliating.

        As fucky as shit is in this country I’d rather live here than China and plenty of Chinese friends of mine who left would never go back.

        Uhh, the thing spread as fast as it did literally because they lied and tried to cover it up.

    I feel like the zero-covid policy could have worked if they had used an mRNA vaccine and vaccinated the elderly.

      Thats like saying “I feel like eating plums should cure cancer, if you also take chemo and the rest of the treatments recommended by your doctor.”

      They developed their own vaccine but it was a bit of a dud.
