I think the CCP has boxed themselves into a corner. To stop their draconian policies would be to admit defeat and that the god-emperor was wrong. The regime cannot afford to loose that much face.

Much easier to starve people out and block all reports of it it than to say there farcical policy should be changed. Just like the building that burned last week with the doors welded shut was reported to kill 10 people, while the real number was 10x that. Same as the all of the people that died in the Zhengzhou Tunnel last year that got just completely ignored, 1000x worse than the floods in Kentucky, but about 1000x less reported on.

I heard the big wake up moment was seeing everyone in Qatar having a good time maskless at the world cup with a good chunk of the players having had COVID over the past two years and still playing fine, while everyone in China is still under routine lockdown, breakup of families for quarantine, and perpetual testing.

I voted for tyrants testing limits, but there might be a bit of desperation in it. It is apocryphal that occasionally the Chinese peasant rises up en mass and swallows their elite. It may have never happened but it is a definite fear of Chinese elite, they are so very outnumbered and would have no defense.

That would be amazing if the CCP fell. Very inspiring indeed.

It takes a stupid person to make a stupid rule,

and a fool to mind it.

Do not be a stupid.

Do not be a fool.

At least 44 deaths so far in the fire, and 200+ injured. The CCP is lying, as usual.

"I think zero anything policies are a disaster."

I agree with you 100% on that. They inevitably cause worse problems than the one they are trying to solve.

the way i'm clocking this is that it's all a test. not just china but everywhere. china was selected for the most brutal repression based on what seems to be meticulous realtime datamining of how various populations respond. xi jinping may have jumped the gun on his handlers - that psychopath has been killing his own people for years. he's a survivor of the last phase of mao's torture camps so it's likely something snapped in him a long time ago.

china is a huge domino and if it goes down i think it won't be long before the rest start to fall. like cj hopkins says, eventually the psychopaths drop the mask and go fullblown charlie manson. if that's true, we're about to see that in the rest of the world as resistance gains critical mass. zero uptake of boosters and shots for the little ones is a big tell i think.

I woke up to every mainstream media parrot squawking the same tune about "riots in China". Accurate or not, this is always a sign there's something else going on that one should be on the lookout for.

So far the only thing that makes sense is that Xi has become mentally unhinged.

I voted for 'to hide financial collapse'. Yet I think it is also the tyrants testing the limits of the populace. We know that China is the test pilot ground for the new world order and all things totalitarian, with the panopticon surveillance grid firmly in place.

It is good to see the citizens rising up (https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/zero-tolerance-chinese-lockdown-protests-intensify-rare-display-defiance)

People everywhere all over the world will get what they are not willing to rise up against. Live free or die a slave on your knees. Thanks for bringing the latest carnage to the attention of your subscribers, Amy.
