By the way, how come you can live without being vaccinated? Isn't there any restriction for un-vaccinated people in China
It may surprise you but restrictions have been far worse in places like Europe & Australia compared to China. At first, China was exceptionally draconian as you might expect, locking down entire cities and provinces to the point of starvation, but over time they've managed to evolve and miniaturize this effect down to districts of a town or even single buildings/malls.
Since everybody is tracked and traced, temperatures and tests everywhere you go, and CCTV footage following your every step back weeks in time, It's relatively easy for them to do this. For example, one case I saw in my area in shanghai was in the metro station. They closed off the specific exit and stairwell the covid patient had walked through hours before, and I was diverted elsewhere.
As for vaccines, there has never actually been any such mandate or anything. One province tried to do it once a few months ago before a larger official body said the equivalent of 'its unconstitutional'. I'd say 1/3rd of my work staff is unvaccinated, and I don't believe any of them are against vaccines per se. We just acknowledge the efficacy renders it kind of pointless. China knows this too, which is why they refuse to open up. If they did, there would be a nationwide explosion in cases which would then, again, spread around the world. Because their vaccine blows -__-
Oh I see. Thanks for sharing all of those.
It is interesting to point out that from the information we get here in Europe (and probably in any Western country), we are miles away from any concrete idea about how the situation is managed in China, beyond the "everyone is fully traced" item (I don't start into this debate here; just mentioning).
Thinking about it, such a strategy is not bad... except if you want to open your country to the rest of the world. In some sense, there is no free lunch and choices must be made. At this stage, honestly, I don't know which one is better.
