Given their population, they have no other choice. Halfa$$ job like US won't work for them. They need absolute control so covid doesn't get out of hand. And unlike US, central govt can do whatever they want. Good for them.

There’s so much West does not understand about China that might inform a perspective on this.
For example, in China an individual cannot just move from one city to another. There is a residential application process to receive something called a HuKou. This allows govt to easily control population movement. An individual can still physically try and get to another city but once there you live on the fringes of society as an illegal resident. Much akin to an illegal immigrant in the US who cannot enroll in local school or get public services or an apartment etc…
The Chinese lockdown really operates through individuals phones. Everything… access to banking, purchases, transport has migrated in recent years to the WeChat app which is monitored by the CCP. Your travel status also runs through this. In lockdown mode no one is given the “green” to travel.
You honestly expect DCUM people to get that?![]()
Yeah, I have numerous (serious!) posts from people who wish the US was ‘more like China’. So disturbing.

They can't just live with it.
Yep no one can, despite how many times people will type it here over and over again

Fair point.
How soon will this White House and Congress get that here?
