"The United States has had more than a million deaths from Covid, China has had a only few thousand, almost none since the very beginning of the epidemic."

Says China. I think extreme skepticism is warranted here.

Silly Alex! Xi hasn't failed, it is THE PEOPLE who have failed to live up to his glorious plans!

Do you even communism?

A million deaths in US were not caused by covid, but by covid malpractice. Most were preventable. Many were due to other causes, but misreported for financial benefit. Nothing is what it seems.

Could it be that the lockdowns are keeping the populace from having ‘runs on the bank’ because of their out of control housing and mortgage market? If the bank runs start, what does it end with? Good question for the USA too

Many question the covid narrative as covering up financial meltdowns that were staved off by the covid trillions. Now we have the inflation to prove it.

I have a different theory.

The CCP is nuts. Like, so nuts we can't begin to understand why they do the stuff they do.

Just look at the Great Leap Forward. Why did they kill all the birds in China, unleashing an insect plague that devastated their crops? Why did they insist on farmers cultivating their soil to a depth of 6 feet, at gunpoint?

First of all a million Americans did not die of COVID; when the death count was somewhere around the 600K mark, the CDC admitted that 9K died from COVID the rest died with COVID. Second, I was never terrified of COVID.

Alex in China now you can't go into any building without scanning a QR health tracker code, you have to check your cellphone every day to see what your "color status" is, and so on. Nothing China had in terms of social credit systems was anywhere near this all-encompassing prior to covid, and there are not many other pretenses in which this total surveillance state could have been constructed so quickly.

Whatever else the other theories have going for them, theory 1 is right.

Uncle Xi is using Fentanyl to his advantage and this needs to be stopped now.

Went to visit a friend in the hospital, when entering, a large sign said that everyone visiting had to wear a mask, any anyone defying would be escorted out. When i got to the room, no one was wearing a mask in the room. Check a few other rooms and all in the rooms were not wearing a mask. All the Dr.s and nurses were mask all the time but working around the patients who were not masked. Asked a nurse about the sign, she just shrugged and walked on with her mask on. The patients are not complying, but the staff is. How strange.

Regarding China having only a "few thousand" Covid deaths - from what I have read, it was probably way, way more than that. In the fall of 2019, I understood that so many students on university campuses were sick, that the campuses were closed to foreign visitors. Months before the pandemic was formally announced. Then there were reports that mysteriously, the number of cell phone users in China had dropped by a million, fairly early in the pandemic, which may have been people who had died who no longer used their phones. And the mobile crematoriums that were seen but explained as just a health measure to burn the trash, keep the cities clean. They claimed few deaths but there were lots of factors, including videos made by Chinese citizens that appeared and were quickly removed from the internet, that seemed to indicate a lot more deaths than what the Chinese were admitting to.

As for Japan - apparently many people have missed the report, that Japan had noticed some metallic bits in the vaccine, decided it must be a contaminant, and they ceased use of the vaccines, opting for Ivermectin (which comes from a micro-organism found in the soil in Japan, apparently only in Japan). Once they gave up the shots and relied on Ivemerctin widely, I have read that the pandemic was over in Japan within about a month.

My theory on China’s COVID policies. 1) They know exactly what the mRNA deathvax will do to the long term health of people - it’s why they didn’t use them. 2) They know exactly what naturally acquired COVID and its toxic spike protein does to the long term health of a nation. 3) They are in an undeclared unconventional war with the US and COVID is a tactic in that war. 4) They must pursue zero COVID long enough for 1) and 2) to give them an unanswerable advantage in 3).

I have another theory. It’s a biological weapon they created and they know the impact. And maybe they want to do everything possible to keep it out of their population for longevity sake.

Change the name to PM Justin Trudeau and the story can almost be applied to Canada.

The only way out is to manufacture tests only capable of a negative result and declare victory

In the US, the bus crash of covid positives would have been recorded as covid deaths.

You seriously believe China only has a few thousand COVID deaths? If so Alex I have a social media site for you to buy.
