I am adding something important -- I live in China since 2004. I am with socialistic believes and I was very satisfied during the Hu Jin-Tao's period and the beginning of the Xi Jin-Ping's period. Recently, I am not and I don't want to live in lie stating that I am satisfied. I can say absolutely the same about the anti-COVID measures in China. At the beginning everything was reasonable and I did my best to support it online and offline. I think that the small lockdowns (like those when there is a confirmed COVID case in some community and then only the community is tested and locked for a week or two, not all the city) and the one-time mass tests (when the citizens are tested only once, not daily or many times per month like now) were enough to take measures against the COVID and to keep the ecomony and the people's life normal. But now, I can't stop thinking of it as something nearly "irrational and inhumane" (It's from an article of Ako Tomoko, Associate professor in the School of International Liberal Studies, Waseda University. Link to his article about "Zero COVID in China": https://www.nippon.com/en/in-depth/d00821/).
I really try to stay away from the politics and I'm uninvolved (I'm not a member of any party; I don't receive any payments for political posts) but when it comes to something that affects my life and the lives of so many people, I can't stay silent.
