Just to be clear, when they talk about “Beijing” here, they’re not talking about the Chinese national government, but the municipal/city government of the actual city of Beijing.
This was the first time anywhere in China had tried to limit movement based on a vax, and they canceled it in two days because of public outrage.
Without even mentioning the fact that China’s vax is not some gene therapy thing, but something similar to a normal flu shot – when was the last time the US government changed a policy in 2 days because of public outcry?
RT:
Beijing has ditched a proposed vaccination mandate that would have limited access to its public places to jabbed residents only, the city announced on Thursday, citing public pushback. The Chinese capital had only announced the rule on Wednesday.
Instead of requiring vaccination, Beijing residents can now enter all public venues with a negative Covid test result taken less than 72 hours ago and a temperature check, a city official told state media, adding that the government would continue to promote vaccination on a voluntary informed-consent basis.
Again: there is less freedom in America than in China.
That is a fact.
Set to take effect on July 11, the policy would have barred the unvaxxed from theaters, museums, cinemas, gyms, training and tutoring locations, while medical staff, community service employees, home furnishing operators, express delivery providers, and conference attendees would not only have to get the shot but also receive a booster to continue in their jobs.
While Li Ang of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission insisted there would be exceptions for those who don’t qualify for vaccination, many other countries whose governments initially promised similar exceptions failed to deliver. Nor would the mandate have gotten rid of the city’s testing rules, which require residents to be tested at least once every three days to enter public spaces.
Residents openly questioned the vaccine’s effectiveness against the Omicron variant on social media and denounced the proposed mandate as an illegal limitation on their freedom. A study conducted in Denmark showed both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines displayed a negative effectiveness against the Omicron variant just three months after being vaccinated, though the scientists did not test any of the Chinese Covid-19 vaccine formulas.
“The reversal shows the power of public opinions,” former Global Times editor Hu Xijin noted on his official Weibo account after the rollback was announced, explaining that while “Chinese society is dominated by government,” they “backed up in the face of a public pushback. That means they accept the public’s view of the vaccine mandate as illegal.”
Oh, so you’re allowed to question the government’s vaccine policies and the effectiveness of vaccines on Chinese social media?
And we need to invade this country to give them “more freedom”?
This is what I keep trying to tell boomers like Tucker Carlson who claim that China is some kind of zero freedom dictatorship – it’s just not true. “Public outcry” has actual meaning in China, unlike in America, where it means literally nothing.
Instead of talking about “democracy” vs. “dictatorship,” you should be talking about “personal liberty” and “the ability of the population to petition the government.”
Here’s a quick fact: democracy is incompatible with personal freedom.
Democracy was more compatible with the ability of the mob to petition the government, but it has become less and less so to the point where it’s virtually impossible.
You can criticize China, and I don’t support the Chinese system coming to America, but you can’t say that the Chinese people don’t like it or that it is some kind of “dictatorship” where the people have no ability to resist anything.
Americans just whine about tank man.
Well, the Chinese people all cheered when those ungratefuls were cleared out of Tiananmen Square.
So, whatever.
Maybe we should focus on the problems in our own country?
this is a really interesting quote from an article from China, that indicates the popularity of the “COVID-19 as a bioweapon attack” in China and their sources.
https://www.thinkchina.sg/singaporean-china-chinese-netizens-speaking-their-fellow-men
I would post it in the daily newslinks, but can’t since I don’t comment enough lately. I hope Mr. Unz can fix that, hopefully make it if you have an Unz.com handle for more than a year you are exempt from that requirement, I also can’t react to other comments.
The real question people should be asking is WHY are the Chinese giving relatively harmless “flu shots” as a vaccine while Americans and Europeans are getting an MRNA Kill Shot.
If the people object to a government policy, the government doubles down and forces it down the throats of the serfs in America. In my little slice of America the village raised parking fees because, they said, “Business is picking up and more outsiders are coming into town.” That’s the logic of every government worker in this country, business is picking up, so let’s discourage people from coming into town. The stupidity of both elected and appointed government people in America is dumbfounding. But I guess the intelligent have more important things to do here.
This whole essay is golden. And this statement is worthy of explication. Bravo, AA.
Anglin defends China with the same hasbara-like fervor that Jonathan Greenblatt deploys with Israel. Neither are remotely credible.
I don’t know, the chinks seem to have been pretty hardline on the Covid stuff. Yeah, maybe they didn’t force mRNA vaccines on their population, but they did everything else.
Yes, I was disappointed with Tucker when he did his fear-mongering series about China investing in South America. It’s exactly the same thing the USA has been doing, control through the financial purse strings. Yet Chinese influence could hardly be worse than American. At least they won’t force them to celebrate men in dresses and give groomers access to their children.
I suppose Tuck has to do SOME government propaganda, or they’ll take him off the air, and nobody else in the mainstream will be criticizing black-on-white violence and tranny insanity.
I wouldn’t want to live in China but I think at least 50% of what the mass media says about them is a lie, including that “Uighur genocide” bullshit.
“ Instead of requiring vaccination, Beijing residents can now enter all public venues with a negative Covid test result taken less than 72 hours ago and a temperature check, ”
So, exactly the opposite of what Anglin says, less freedom than the USA. I have NEVER had to show a negative covid test result other than when I went to the hospital for the birth of my kid, which is pretty reasonable.
But in China, a trip to the gym or grocery for the unvaxxed requires a negative result in the past 3 days. If you go to the gym regularly, China now requires two covid tests a week, and for you to carry around the result. That’s freedom?
Yes, as free as you have to pass a test to drive your car, so you don’t put other people in danger.
If you’re such a freedom lover, there’re plenty of freedom you could fight for. For instance, you could fight for the freedom to walk bare-arsed on the street. Being forced to cover your arse is a violation of personal freedom for no reason at all.
Over here in the UK the covid-19 thing is practically over. We went a whole winter with no masking or social distancing (except in health care facilities) and no quarantine requirements for entry. At one point about 50% of all the ‘common colds’ going about were really the omicron strain. Antibody tests in UK children reveal that pretty close to 100% have been exposed to the virus whether ‘vaccinated’ or not. I think it is safe to say that we have reached herd immunity here and the Covid narrative is officially busted. Countries that are still intent on jabbing their citizens, even their children, with the now completely worthless, unacceptably dangerous and experimental pseudo-vaccines are not doing it for public health reasons. The corporate nightmare has evidently not given up on their ‘vaccine pass’ (ie compulsory ID card) scheme yet though.
I reckon the real reason that the UK establishment were so intent on getting rid of Boris Johnson was that he refused to continue the lockdown strategy, in effect exposing the hollowness of the Covid-19 narrative to the rest of the world. Unfortunately the UK example has not received the attention that it deserves and the farce continues worldwide. Get ready for those monkey-pox jabs everyone.
Because China is a sovereign state that cares about her population well-being, duh. Same deal with Russia, where COVID vaccine is a modified flu shot, as it should be.
Tucker is a USGOV agitrpop creature, exactly the same as his counterparts on CNN or wherever, just working from the different angle.
To be fair, it was almost the same in lots of European countries and a few American states for a while.
LOL. China love vaxx pass and Covid-test pass. China authoritarian society, no understand people don’t like this type of useless stuff. Covid is almost like flu, chinaman. No need worry so much.
Whoever believes that the Scamdemic thing is over is for a nasty surprise.
The sad thing is that most people who are against the measures still don’t get what all that is really all about. Until that is known there won’t be any effective attempt to resist what’s coming.
And the only effective attempt will be massive public protests. Keyword massive.
Another keyword: confrontational. Not masses of citizens walking along predefined paths, no. Something else.
I have a feeling, based on experience where I live, that people in the Anglosphere simply don’t have what’s required for such an effort.
What we’ll see is steady flow and ebb of measures designed to condition the masses to accept Universal Digital ID and related control by the state.
CDBC, austerity and the rest too.
TPTBs know the system is in crisis and working on fixing it, for them, at our expense, since June 2019.
The rest, “us”, still don’t get what’s really going on.
Easy to predict the end result.
Kind of gives new meaning to the expression, “Chinese Fire Drill.”
“ and a few American states for a while”
I can’t speak for Europe, but I am in a big city in a blue state, and never never never had to show a vax proof or neg test, other than the single reasonable requirement I do so before spending two days in a hospital for my baby’s birth.
And i went to gyms, indoor restaurants, bars, grocery stores. Asian restaurants and grocery stores sometimes had temperature checks at the entrance.
But never never never was I asked to show a negative test or vax proof.
I even traveled to Mexico and back last year. Never was asked for vax or neg test evidence.
From what I can tell, vax pass BS was pretty much limited to NYC/SF, and only for a few months, and even there it wasn’t taken very seriously.
I confess that I watch Carlson on Rumble (full episodes of his show and Gutfeld! get uploaded with about a 1-day lag by “Fox Mulder News”), but I only watch Carlson to try to get an estimate on the current settings of the Overton Window.
Carlson tried to be one of those pretentious dickheads who wears a bowtie in his 30s, and almost got away with it. Wearing a bowtie is like smoking a pipe: it’s an affectation that shows that the man who does it is trying to pull one over. It’s like people who act like assholes because they think schlubs will think they’re Aspie-smart.
Anyhow… Jon Stewart Liebowitz took about 4 minutes to destroy him, and it took Carlson over a decade to recover. I’ve heard he hasn’t worn a bow tie since, which would be a good thing if true.
What has been interesting is that Carlson has been permitted – quite recently – to start saying things like “the jabs don’t work” and other heresies.
PERMITTED.
While Chinese society is immune to oligarchs forcing experimental drugs in people’s bodies to boost the revenues of said oligarchs, Chinese authorities do believe in isolating the contaminated, which made a ton of sense with the initial variants. However, when omicron came along, with its zero risk of pneumonia but high contagion, that same policy was applied again, at least in the Shanghai-Hong Kong area, causing quite a lot of distress for no gain, unless we can think of a strategic gain locking down the Port of Shanghai to sanction the US with plausible deniability. I heard from a Frenchman who lived in Hong-Kong and has since left China for good that, in one case, a breast-fed baby that got contaminated had to be weaned at a few days’ notice so as to be isolated, including from its mother. Sure, they did not endanger the baby’s health with a useless and risky injection, but we are still dealing with authorities’ arbitrariness.
You say:
Whatever our past differences, I agree with you here. I work with children in the UK. During COVID, My employers required that myself and other employees put our mask on within 2 metres of children, but otherwise we could take it off. Vaccination was not required, because compulsory vaccination is against the law.
If you were going into shops, and you were asked to put on a mask, you would just say that you had an exemption and that was accepted, ie the law was not being enforced. They were stricter on public transport, but outside of some urban areas, it was not enforced.
There will be no return to lockdowns, limited though they were, in the UK. Only authoritarian or totalitarian states, like China, will see that.
Disagree.
The only thing that will get these fuckbags to back off, are a series of ShinzoAbe-like incidents.
The political class don’t give a solitary flying fuck about public opinion – they’re supremely confident that housewives are so stupid that all you have to do is say “Keeping you safe” every second sentence and the herds of stupid fat suburban bitches will vote accordingly.
In that, the political class is absolutely correct.
The response of #Klaus’ man in Canadia to the trucker convoy is proof-positive of that.
If Trudeau had been ShinzoAbe‘d, other #WEF shitbag stooge cunts would have gotten the memo.
That’s why Ursula von der Leyen has been so worried about what happened in Nip-Land.
She’s shit-scared on behalf of her class – and she’s right to be: once Krauts and Frogs start running out of gas, her class is going to find it really hard to shift the blame.
…the real reason…..imo this is more about the miserable failure of their ukraine gambit, more heads may fall yet. macron lost his majority, biden will be thrown under the bus soon, scholz is spiking drinks with roofies. they may all be “spending more time with their families” soon.
I think a combination would work well: mass, confrontational, protests plus individual address.
Or, better, protests first; if the person on the top is, say, unresponsive to the demands of people, well, then address that issue, say, on an individual level.
That’s all academic, though.
For either to happen people would first need to know what the game is, really, all about.
And then, more importantly, the people having a character to do something about it.
I have doubts about the former and even more about the later.
The CCP shut down Shanghai and confined the population to their dwellings and didn’t care a rat’s behind about the protests.
You really think his successor will reverse the Ukraine policy? not a chance, though they might be less upfront about it. In the UK, PM’s are generally not removed for the evil things they do but for the evil they won’t do.
As I read it, Shinzo Abe was murdered because he was in favour of better relations with the Russians and he still had influence.
Fake News all by the (((Numbers))).
The mandate was supposed to be implemented on July 11 or 7/11. They absolutely love these numbers, almost as much as they love 9/11.
BTW, China will implement the zero-COVID policy for 5 years, reported CNN last week. The reporter was Yanzhong Huang* and he quoted Beijing’s Chinese Communist Party chief Cai Qi.
Actually, Cai Qi never said “five years”. It was all made up because Zionists love playing occult number games in their “news.”
Nevertheless, CNN’s fake reporting of “5-years” confirms my suspicion and prediction made about 8 months ago, here at UNZ, that the Jews plan to continue with this COVID SCAM for 5-years.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Everything is numerical and number games with the Zionists.
They are using China and the Chinese zodiac in the case of COVID-19, which began in 2020, the Chinese year of the Rat (associated with the plague in the West) and it will end in 2025, the year of the Snake (associated with medicine in the West and WHO).

*Yanzhong Huang is a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations and a professor at Seton Hall University School of Diplomacy and International Relations, specializing in Asia. Of course he is.
no, i don’t believe they will reverse policy but they may have to alter it and some other foppish oaf or iron maiden will fail just as miserably and need to be replaced as well. they never learn and never will.
Andrew “dumbass” Anglin’s theory is that China is more free because they have today lockdowns larger than the entire United States population, and only require covid tests every time you want to do anything, while America has no lockdowns and no tests are required for anything here.
America responded to publicly outcry a year earlier than China, because China responds to public outcry faster than America.
Andrew Anglin is very smart and logical, and we’re all just morons who like, don’t get it man.
The Chinese value human life more than we do, and take their personal health far more seriously than we do. They grow and consume three-quarters of the world’s green vegetables, for example.
They really do respect and defer to 82-year-olds like me. They really don’t want their oldies to die and willingly make sacrifices to keep them alive. Sacrifices of ‘personal freedoms,’ for example. Especially since the government has been totally open about the pandemic and taken full responsibility for handling it. With results like this:

When support for a policy reaches 66%, China’s Congress stops arguing about it and starts implementing. When regular folk see 2000 (out of 3000) Congresspeople agreeing on something, they’re inclined to get behind it, too.
Congressional and public support for their current Covid policy far exceeds two-thirds, so everyone–with normal pissing and moaning–is implementing it.
The policy has other benefits. China accounts for half the world economic growth, partly because their labor force participation is 72% and ours is 61%.
Nice chart. Died “of Covid” or “with Covid”?
Threads like this will keep popping up and quickly disappearing.
While they are up, brief chats will flare here and there….going nowhere.
There is nothing stopping what’s coming. Nothing.
When it comes, rather soon, and hits with full force, the challenge will be taking the hit with minimal damage. Won’t be easy for some of us.
For plenty, it won’t be an issue at all.
We can see…hahaha….even in this thread that it’s not a big deal at all if you want to go to gym and have to:
-stick something deep up your nose
-carry the proof that the sticking produced required result
-show that proof to any….ahm…authority, demanding it.
Put a mask on, wait in a queue, get let into supermarket to buy certain product within certain limit and time slot. Pay with card only. Not a big deal…………………
Etc.
I’ve been watching what’s happening where I live. TPTBs ARE good. I am actually impressed by their competence. One could even admire the smoothness of their action.
I have rather opposite sentiment for my own side I am afraid.
The Scamdemic took care of the 80 % of people. The sheeple, that is. They are “set”.
Not important.
Important is, the next step is “taking care” of “loners”, if you will. Those who can’t get assessed by their public online profile. Those…..different……from those 80 %.
Those, say, who aren’t happy standing in that queue in front of a supermarket.
Won’t be anything dramatic. Just constant, relentless, “squeeze”. The individual outbursts will be quickly and efficiently managed and used for further, increased, “squeeze”.
What to do about it? Maybe, one day, we’ll have some chat about that here. Most likely not.
In the meantime, there is that joke about outrunning a bear: You don’t need to be faster than the bear, just faster than the next guy.
As Godfrey Roberts wrote, government in China is by Colmar Brunton. I use the term government in China advisedly. These rules actually make sense in Beijing. The people of Beijing are not risk takers and agree to a pre testing requirement for entering public places. If they don’t require the useless nasal testing, it would be easily done. Public polling found out a a vaccination mandate for entry to public places is a bridge too far over individual preferences. They would rather increase their risk of sickness or even rarely mortality than impose that. All stances here are quite reasonable and good for the Beijing population for respecting individual choice over mandatory vaccination. But internally, China is a reasonable country even though horribly backward in some things. My guess over time that testing mandate will be dropped also with the fall of Xi, and the Beijing people will implement their own health measures, which may or may not be useless.
Naturally the sclerotic, Brehznevian, red-giant stage government can’t do anything quickly. Makes Byzantium look simple and straightforward.
Carlson is a patriot, except when your country is America, that’s a bad thing.
Hey, patriots, quick tip: “with Chinese characteristics” means “but actually not at all.” They only call themselves Communist as a smokescreen to make the State Department slightly less rabid than usual – and State has enough dumb peasantry content that this works.
Freedom begins with property rights. The ability to own your own stuff. Democracy is directly contrary to property rights.
Rather like Communism in that way. What a coincidence. How did that happen.
The only reason “Democracy” looks at all better than Communism, rather than the reverse, is because America is a feminine Fascism and women are less principled, so it’s easy to charm American operatives into giving out more unprincipled exceptions. Legally speaking, Democracy has even fewer property rights than Communism does. Under Communism, the soviets steal everything not nailed down – but at least the soviets are allowed to keep it. Formally, under democracy, even the soviets aren’t allowed to openly own things.
As did I. Traitors get the rope. They weren’t merely ungrateful, they were Soros-funded fifth columnists. It was very much China vs. America, and China won. As it meet when it happens in China. Some may remember this quaint little idea called Westphalian sovereignty…
And never were. “Public” “health” is always a scam.
If the vaccine was actually good or necessary there would be no need for a mandate. There would be organic demand. Because there was a mandate you know it was merely an investment vehicle for corrupt interests.
The reason the vaccine sucks so much is exactly because it was approved via bribery. The ones that offered the biggest bribes were given the green light, not the ones that did something foolish like spending their money on R&D.
There’s been an internal war.
The Biden crime family pissed somebody off. This someone let the idiot Nuland off the leash and she created a mess, as you would expect from an idiot. “Pick a fight with Russia, lol.” “Haha, okay, great idea!” The mess was used to rip out one of Hunter Biden’s major cash-flows.
This showed the Biden family is weak. Turns out they’re associated with a whole network within the Thousand Emperors complex, which included Johnson. The sharks smelled blood in the water and are now ripping through a bunch of their rivals.
See also: you can tell Schwab is a Schlub, because he’s too weak to keep his name out of the news. Even journalists aren’t afraid of him anymore, and those cowards are literally afraid of their own shadows. He hasn’t been Epstein’d only because his internal rivals are having too much fun toying with him like a cat, piling humiliation upon humiliation on his head.
Covid doesn’t put anyone in danger any more than any other flu.
Any fool who thinks it does can just stay home and let others live their lives.
They seem to be better with their crowd management tactics. This bank run is being handled pretty well. Although it is my understanding that these people should not be protesting but rather should be all locked down for covid.
If they keep this up, I will have to remove “like a Chinese fire drill” from my lexicon.
Yes, that is State Security in plain clothes arresting the depositors. Really, I can no longer put a cigarette paper between China and anywhere in the West. Is this what they mean by “globalism”? Not sure I like it very much.
Because they want to shutdown exports to the anal (((west))), especially muttmerica.
Ever notice all the corona hoaxeries in China ever seem to only happen in ports and production centers? Yeah.
Go China, exterminate Muttmerica and the Satanic West!
The worst flu in recent years killed 700+ people in Hongkong, while the Omicron wave killed 8,000 in 4 months…
There’re many inconveniences in life, but you don’t protest. This particular inconvenience of COVID prevention protect grandma and grandpa, and you protest. Sure shows how much you “love” them.
A study in Hongkong analyzed 120 all-caused deathes during the Omicron wave. About 40% died of, 40% died with, the rest others.
https://xw.qq.com/cmsid/20220328A0CX9I00
“政府专家顾问、中大呼吸系统科讲座教授许树昌早前曾根据死者死亡和染疫时间、病毒数值、有否肺炎等情况来分析患者是否死于新冠病毒。
他分析了少于120宗在第五波疫情下的死亡个案,发现死于新冠病毒以及死亡时染有新冠病毒的个案约各占近四成。”
Yeah, only Black Lives and Young Lives Matter in your country, old lives don’t matter…
Aaaah, bullshit.
The top four co-morbities for “covid” deaths in Australia are
1. Alzheimers
2. Heart disease
3. Diabetes
4. Leukemia
Amazing. If you have leukemia, you probably don’t want to also get a bad cold. Who knew?
The median age of death in Australia is 82.6 years.
The median age of death in Australia for those classified as “covid” deaths is 84.6 years.
If you are an old person who has life-threatening health conditions and – perhaps quite reasonably – fear the flu, then you may like to stay at home.
Anyone who is younger then 65 and has no severe illnesses is not in danger of dying from covid, which has a 99.98% survival rate.
If you are afraid of covid, just stay home.
I am intimately familiar with Hong Kong family life and what it means for a Chinese to “love” or “be loved” by family. It is typically a nightmare of unwanted obligations and emotional blackmail where children are peons trapped as primary assets in the parent’s long-term pension schemes.
Let’s not get personal here, but if it weren’t for their Indonesian and Filipina maids, there wouldn’t be more than a handful of children or the elderly in Hong Kong who had experienced genuinely selfless concern or care in their entire lives.
In other words, Peking. Just to be clear… in English.
And anything else? From Taiwan to Tibet to Turkestan? Give us a call when this is the case.
“Well, the [Canadian] people all cheered when those un[vaxxed un]gratefuls were cleared out of [Wellington Street].”
So are children and spouses. Let’s not be trapped by obligation of marriage and parenthood, leave the child to baby’s mama and run away… Same thing.
There’re lots of rules and laws, all restricting personal freedom, why not abolish them all, and live like animals?
Initially they came for asymptomatic people.
I did not say anyting although I am an asymptomatic.
Then they came for unvaccinated people.
I did not say anything either although I am also an unvaccinated.
Later they came for antivaxers.
I kept calm because I am not an antivaxer.
Now they come for me.
I keep calm because I am no longer me.
I don’t know how your logic worked. What’s co-morbities have to do with whether covid is flu? Fact is the worst flu in Hongkong killed 700, covid killed 8,000.
In a nomal year, flu kills about 40,000 Americans, covid killed a million in 2 and a half years.
How much does Ron pay you for writing this crapola?
Sinovac, and Sinopharm (I believe) are attenuated live viruses. They have the risk of infecting the vulnerable with the disease, but are not experimental as mRNA gene therapy inoculations. Two injections, a third OFFERED to those over sixty, and not required for under sixties. It elicits polyclonal antibodies, to spike, membrane and nuclear components of the virus, not just the cytotoxic spike protein. It wanes after about six moths, rather longer than the mRNA shots. Not available, of course, in Austfailia where even AZ’s adenovirus vector vaccines are no longer available, despite being manufactured here. Not a stooge state anymore-a colony.
More genocidal race hatred.
There are hundreds of protests EVERY day in China. Chinese people are not powerless slaves. The State merely polices them to reduce social discord and damage, then resolves the problems.
They were taken pretty seriously in Canada. European countries such as Germany and Italy were very strict. I am less familiar with the US but I think NY and LA were quite strict for a while too (from family/friends who live there) but I don’t know much details.
But in the end it doesn’t matter much if the pass was “taken seriously” or not. Of course a lot of things were exaggerated in order to scare people into taking the vax. Look, the “vaxx pass” thing was created for only one reason, to force the vax on people. So if you took the vax, then their plan worked, regardless if they asked for passes or not.
LOL. Well, I for one remember some video of a child being ran over by a truck in some factory in China and no one doing anything about it, so I am not so sure.
Anyway, that’s not the point. The West also said it was doing it “for the old”, and then locked people down, separated families, abandoned old people to die in nursing homes, led “mom and pop” shops to bankruptcy, etc. Quite a few people were led to suicide.
China is probably like the Soviet Union in that they say one thing but probably do it for other reasons that the official ones stated. So maybe they have their political reasons for all this. I don’t know. I don’t care. I personally don’t need my life micromanaged by the State, thank you very much, but if it works for the Chinese, good for them.
Oh yes. “For Grandpa.” Well, the West also said it was doing it “for the old”, and then locked everyone down, separated families, abandoned old people to die in nursing homes, made old people die alone in a hospital not being able to be seen by loved ones and surrounded by nurses dressed in sci-fi clothes, led “mom and pop” shops to bankruptcy, etc. Quite a few people were led to suicide.
All that, for what? Well, in the West, it was to sell those new mRNA vaccines, and to push new forms of control such as those digital passports. Also to make billionaires richer and middle class poorer.
Why China does it, I don’t know. China is probably like the early Soviet Union in that they say one thing (“for the workers”) but probably do it for other reasons than the official ones stated. So maybe they have their political reasons for all this. I don’t know. I don’t care. I personally don’t need my life micromanaged by the State, thank you very much, but if it works for the Chinese, good for them.
By the way, after two years avoiding it, I finally managed to catch “Covid”. It was like the flu. Sore throat, fever and body pain. (An aspirin solved that last one). Annoying, but hardly a “bioweapon”, as Mr. Unz insists.
So after that experience, the global lockdown and the whole “vax pass” thing seems even more surreal to me now. The real illness was the mental illness of the vaccine-maniacs, mask-maniacs and all the control-freaks.
“Here’s a quick fact: democracy is incompatible with personal freedom.”
Not sure that’s strictly accurate.
Firstly, the US is not a democracy, it’s an Oligarchy or Plutocracy.
2nd, was it Aristotle who noted that democracy always has a tendency to mutate into Oligarchy?
So, US “freedoms” are a function of oligarchic values & purposes.
Given how easy a RAT test is it shouldn’t be to much of an issue.
Although I don’t know how expensive or acceptable they are in China – so there is room for debate.
“Covid is almost like flu, chinaman. No need worry so much.”
Sure – if you are young, have no co-morbidities or are not immune-compromised.
Of course, the flu is no mere walk in the park either….
The Chinese people are powerless slaves. So are the people of the West.
I hardly suggested otherwise.
I just had Covid. It was “literally” the flu. (And I’m not that young. ) Only difference was lower fever and more body pain (an aspirin helped).
Perhaps the first wave was slightly stronger, I don’t know. At least that’s the usual tendency.
Yeah, the normal flu can also kill the elderly or the immune-compromised.
But I don’t remember we doing “lockdowns” and “social distancing” and “mask mandates” and “vaccine mandates” and “vaccine passes” against the flu, ever. Do you?
Covid was so serious that the medical establishment refused to treat it and governments around the world outlawed basic early, cheap and effective treatments such as Ivermectin.
0On the other hand, hospitals were rewarded $39,000 for every person they (often fatally) intubated under the “covid” classification and $13,000 for every “covid” admission. This was a recipe for fraud that hospitals could cook up again and again. Suddenly everyone had covid. Suddenly everyone who died had died of covid.
And then there were the famous PCR tests, notoriously useless for the purpose of diagnosing the virus and always adjusted to ensure that it identified as many “covid” cases as possible.

And we need a global pandemic first-responder team under WHO. Will they be armed? Have extra-territorial powers?

Well that sux. No wonder your posts seem so shitty all of the time.
Sure COVID is nothing, since the deads don’t talk on Internet. It takes a little empathy to care about people who have been or would be killed by it.
The fact that your government has handled it poorly, or some corporations have made big profit out of it, isn’t an indicator that Covid is harmless.
There’s a big difference between Chinese people and you people. We work to solve the problem, you work hard to convince yourselves that the problem doesn’t exist.
Unfortunately no. China vaccinates its population with a trad dead virus shot, while Russia’s Sputnik is an adenoviral vector clotshot identical to Astra Zeneca and Janssen.

The Chinese vax was at first “way less effective”, then later when the virus began rapid mutations, it became more effective (since it contains all components, not just a single spike protein), and today it’s as useless against the various omicrons as anything. The govt there is idiotic enough to insist this still provides protection, but humane enough to not insist on universal mandates.
Sputnik is the same shit as the western non-RNA clotshots. Created and marketed by a Mr. Ginsburg.
A kindly tribe member who only wants the best for the goyim.
Russia has two more vaccines. KoviVac, which is identical to the Chinense trad shot, today also as useless, but even back in the day you pay for it and it’s difficult to find, while the Sputnik is free and in many cases mandatory. The third vax was the peptide subunit EpiVac, same tech as the new western Novavax, which was marketed as having less severe side effects, but then some people started dropping dead in batches, including whole households, so they quietly shelved it.

Right now the French are rolling out an actual trad vax, Valneva, like the Russian KoviVac and the Chinese Sinopharm and Sinovac, finally, but at this stage it’s just as useless for the new strains.
I think this young man is a Hangul, garlic-eater, if I remember correctly.
It’s not “harmless” — it’s like the flu. A disease that kills thousands of old or immune-compromised people every year. Still, we never did any lockdowns or vaxx mandates for the flu. Well, maybe they did it in China, who knows. I don’t live there, nor plan to, unless they transform the whole world into a giant China. And in any case, it was all pretty useless. I still got Covid.
What’s your empathy with the people who died because of the stupid lockdowns?
It should have been treated like the flu, that’s all. China has some admirable qualities, others, not so much.
P. S. It seems you’re a Chinese CCP bot? Or someone pretending to be Chinese?
From 2010 to 2018, the Uighur population has grown by 25%. China’s Han have stopped procreating just like Europeans and Koreans/Japs, but the Uighur population growth is stunning.
That’s some genocide. The gooks can’t seem to be able to masturbate the Uighurs to death and turn them into lampshades faster than they procreate. A mystery for the ages.
Anyone who believes the public statistics on ncov is clearly a lost cause either way. China is pretending nobody died; America is pretending nobody died of anything that wasn’t ncov. Except George Floyd, who would normally have been marked an ncov death except for political considerations.
It’s been known for many years (decades?) that vaccines don’t work on coronaviruses. Pfizer’s biologists knew, for example. You can tell for sure because otherwise they would have already been pushing corona vaccines just as hard as they push influenza vaccines. (Flu vax isn’t safe either.) However, before 2020, being unable to show a vaccine was effective caused it to fail approval. As you probably know, after 2020 they changed the definition of “vaccine” to try to cover up the fact the clotshot is not a vaccine.
P.S. Fun fact: the lockdowns saved many children’s lives, because they weren’t exposed to school. The summer anti-suicide effect happened during not-summer.
Fail to genocide? Cringe. Should at least concentrate them in camps for real. If they refuse to play by the rules, as Muslims always do, they need to be sent to their room.
t. going to prison because you complained about a sexual pervert molesting children
This raises the questions: did hospitals deliberately kill people and/or fake the PCR test results to get their hands on that money?

Cool selfie. Thanks for sharing.
I actually wrote something specific, sperg. Respond to what is written or go back to Federal Agent Anglin’s 15 year old school shooter groomer bbs chat where you can all repeat the same memes endlessly.
This is really useful language:
The dichotomy of democracy vs dictatorship is a divide-and-conquer wedge trap that serves the billionaires.
Yes, its true that China has a different culture from North America, and different approaches are needed to deal effectively with these different cultures.
However treating the ordinary people like they were garbage, which needs to be eliminated, has nothing to do with these differences in what works for different cultures – the difference is that China is led by competent people and the US is led by evil idiots.
Forget democracy, focus on mobilizing larger and larger masses of people demanding to be heard.
Sri Lanka is an inspiring example of what massive mobilizations can accomplish.
Speaking of July 11, 2022, which is today… we get this “news” from Los Angeles:
SoCal 7-11 Robbery Spree: At Least 2 Dead, 2 Wounded, Suspect at Large.
Note “2 Dead and 2 Wounded” (22). The number 22 has been in the “news” a lot recently.
Robert Crimo, the suspect in last week’s Highland Park parade mass shooting, is 22-years old. And just a few days ago, the former PM of Japan, Shinzo Abe, was assassinated despite having 22 security personnel protecting him.
What are the odds that a high-profile politician like Shinzo Abe–with 22 bodyguards– was killed by a gunman in Japan, a country of more than 127 million people, but it rarely sees more than 10 gun deaths a year?
Truly astronomical if not unbelievable.
Tough on them. Why should I care? Why should my freedom of choice and movement be restricted because of other people’s problems or weaknesses? Screw them.
Same. Am unvaxxed. Caught Covid back in Feb after an elective surgery at Stanford hospital in Palo Alto, CA. Took Ivermectin for a couple of days. It lasted for about a week. Had a low-grade fever for a couple of days, a headache for 3 days and an annoying, mild cough that lasted about one month. Not much different than a mild flu except for the headache.
Monday morning CNN did a piece with some MD who was trying to spread Covid FUD (IT’S STILL ABOUT! IT’S GOING TO GET EVERYONE! WEAR MASKS INSIDE! STAY HOME!). Sheese.
We need to bring the Chinese back as laborers to build our infrastructure.
OK, here you jumped the shark, yes things are going very wrong very quickly in the US, but it can get a lot worse and China is already there. The only difference is Xi lives in reality unlike the little girls in the Biden Regime who are spending all of our money to ease their guilty consciences with “green” papal indulgences. Believe me though, if they had the authoritarian structure of the Chinese regime it would be a lot worse. And China is not exactly very sane with covid, it’s here for good and never going away, you can hide out all you want, but the minute someone comes in contact with people from the rest of the world another “variant” will be ripping through the population. All covid restrictions do is kill the economy and sicken the culture. Some say “zero covid” is an excuse by Xi to hurt our supply chain, however I suspect it’s just typical Chinese stupidity. I work with them, believe me they aren’t that smart, they are only inheriting the planet because the west is forfeiting the game with decadent, self destructive, utopian ideology.
Stay mad, glowniggers. You are all so obvious.
No problem, if you can’t build your own infrastructures, queue up behind Bangladesh and Rwanda.
Because they have vaccine sovereignty. Just like Russia and Cuba. All three are countries that produce their own vaccines.
They have governments that are still relatively people centered — instead of the American profits centered model of governance.
Sure, I understand.
It’s human nature to want benefits without costs. To be a free rider. And indeed you are not your brother’s keeper.
What’s the latest count of Chinese infrastructure that has collapsed due to poor build quality?
Profits are nice, but what Western oligarchs value most is POWER. Total control over YOU and YOU and YOU…..
‘…typical Chinese stupidity’. These racist supremacist morons are nothing if not nauseatingly amusing.
Well, Anglin did back off a bit in this particular article. Anglin wrote:
Notwithstanding, with respect to other recent articles of Anglin’s I would agree with you. Red China is indeed impressive, and her example teaches some lessons Americans might learn; but her ascendancy does you, me and Anglin little good unless we are ethnic Chinese.
Meanwhile, the American regime owes Anglin an apology. Anglin ought to be allowed to repatriate decently without risk of lawfare, imprisonment or other persecution.
Why should I care? It’s you who want us to build your infrastructures. If it collapses, build another one. Just print more $$$.
that is not true. both SinoPharm and SinoVac Covid-19 vaccines are Inactive vaccines, there is no live virus in the vaccines at all.
that is NOT to say they do not have side effect. And that is the reason why the Chinese gov. does NOT encourage people who are >60 and have chronicle conditions to get these vaccines
actually, it is the Beijing municipality CDC cancelled in two days after the announcement but Before the regulation was in effect.
tell what you said to those 10 million + Americans who got long covid!
But in China, people do have Multiple choices of all kinds of herbal medicines, herbal cocktails to treat early Covid-19 or even prevent it.
that said, Ivermectin was easily available until late 2020 in China, then all of a sudden, it was gone, only the ones for animals/pet are available, not sure why.
But the Artemisinin (Qing Hao Su) which was invented by China to tread malaria is always widely available, although not so many people take it for Covid
Read my comment again — I meant no denial of long COVID nor its suffers.
Money & power — 2sides of the same “coin”.
Chicken & egg Q ? Which came first, money or power ? Me ? I’d punt on power……
