Comments by "" (@craigkdillon) on "Why Xi Jinping insists on Zero COVID at the cost of China’s economy" video.

Any country doing what Xi is doing to China would be an act of war. The enemies of China cheer Xi on. Xi is doing more to destroy China's wealth and power than anyone could have hoped for. Xi talks about building its military power. BUT -- that takes money. AND - money comes from a strong large economy. It was China's large economy that enabled the ships, planes, and missiles for a modern military. Well, that economy is now crashing. US and others are taking away China's exports. Recently, most things we bought were made in China. If you notice, more of the things are now made in other countries. Manufacturers are moving out of China faster and faster. Soon, very little will be made there.

Great explanation. You have made China's policies make sense --- sort of. My way of looking at it is that COVID has infected the CCP. Its self destructive behavior is symptomatic of it. There is no vaccine for what infects the CCP.
