Xi Jinping has a reason...whether anyone else knows it, is doubtfulI posted a video earlier from an American with local Chinese "expertise" and he speculated it's tied to the next party leader election among the top officials. The leaders had committed to zero covid and now they refuse to back down because that would mean zero covid was never a good idea.
I guess that's a possible reason, but it would've been easier to stop testing and declare zero covid has been achieved. Just like they lie about all other achievements that never came into reality.
But communist governments aren't rational at their foundation so this could also be a bunch of fools making bad decisions just because.
