Reuters: Chinese cities double down on zero-COVID as outbreaks widen
BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese cities from Wuhan in central China to Xining in the northwest are doubling down on COVID-19 curbs, sealing up buildings, locking down districts and throwing millions into distress in a scramble to halt widening outbreaks.

China is almost as good as a place to live as the US. there are only 3 differences. One is that Xi is continuing the useless COVID lockdowns longer and more comprehensively than the Dims. the lockdowns might not be 'useless' but merely a cover story to disappear people like troublesome minorities, religious people or Democracy activists. Still not much different than what the Dims are now starting to do. There is not any Green madness in China, so taking that unto account China is actually a better place to live.
