Zero Patience for Zero-Covid in China

China has signaled it may adjust some aspects of its strict zero-Covid policy following a massive show of defiance in cities across the country, with some openly calling for the removal of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. We examine the financial and psychological ramifications of the restrictions and look at whether the protests could force more change.

    1. @nonameissafer.8457    coronavirus has existed for over a century and we’ve literally all had it before. They counted people dying WITH c19 not FROM it. Inflated bs numbers

    2. @Zarah’s Garden 🍁 keep telling yourself that bs. I honestly hate people like you that push false info

  1. I’ve been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making well over $3.5M within a short period of time investing in Cryptocurrency.

    1. I ran a quick check on Mr Korducki. he’s well regulated. His qualification seem solid with positive reviews, he seems checked out. Also his services are available outside of the US for foreign investors.. Is he that good?

  2. Chinese government has actually been incredibly efficient in being responsive to people’s protest. It is already showing sign of changing course in zero COVID policy. At the mean time, after decades of countless protests on issues like Gun Violence, Police Brutality, Universal Health Care, Women’s abortion rights…how come US government still could not resolve those issues? What kind of democracy is it if the government does not answer for people’s calls?

    1. @T Do you think constitutional republic and democracy are mutually exclusive terms? It just shows how clueless you really are.

    1. Yeah, the Chinese government thought about that some time ago to the detriment of the people. People take note.

    2. Then China would have been erupted into civil wars with many little states, collapsed economy, warlords and hundreds of millions of deaths. Luckily Chinese don’t have a gun culture.
      US is actually not very far from that scenario once the left and the right are completely broken apart, maybe only one single election plus a bad recession will just do it. US citizens have many guns, so …good luck.

  3. Meme idea.. Show riot pictures from ten cities. With Xi Jinping with a big wizard of Oz floating smoke and mirrors head shouting. “How dare they face the mighty Emperor of China!!!” All the CCP soldiers and police salute the image of the giant head. Then the next picture of him hiding behind the curtain. Curdled up in a corner shaking and sweating. Mumbling mommy over and over again.

  4. Good. 👍💯😁
    “You can’t censor a blank sheet of paper”
    That’s remarkably naive. It’s a symbol. Symbols are censored all the time. Take the swastika for example.

  5. Not covering Elon Musk today CNN? Don’t worry over 1 million watched it on Twitter…The most watched post on Twitter in its history..Now we have a way of telling the truth around you and I completely understand your problem with Elon…

    1. Garland Nixon was banned from Twitter since Musk bought it and still not reinstated. He make a joke in a tweet. Musk is just another rich sociopath.

    1. @Armed Liberal I think that was Hunter I saw a picture of grasping for straws when he was snorting up that cocaine. Good stuff.

    1. ​@Kristy Campbell , I am simply wonderfully hungry and hope you, Kristy, and others reading my comment at the top, also have a healthy appetite too. So how are you ?

    3. ​@Kristy Campbell , your not being able to reply appropriately over the past 60 seconds since being greeted here means, Kristy, you’re #StatCOVID19Test **positive** indicating that it’s possible you’re unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic) needing to call your doctor and to self-isolate per your doctor who may prescribe anti-viral(s) for you as indicated.

  6. My condolences to the families of the 6 million Covid-19 victims around the world,
    who lost their loved ones because of the *Chinese🇨🇳 coverups and negligence* at the Wuhan outbreak,
    and now new evidence has emerged to indicate that China export of PPE suddenly down 50% in Aug and Sept 2019.
    But it claimed the outbreak emerged from a seafood market in Wuhan in Dec 2019.
    – Data also showed China ramping up buying medical equipment from Australia, the US and EU at the same time.

  7. Why do we want China 🇨🇳 to end its Zero Covid policy anyway?
    – Would the world be a better place if they keep it forever?

    1. Because the virus was made in the United States, the United States also made the vaccine ahead of time. Of course the US wants China to open up so that enough people can buy American vaccines

  8. If Chinese🇨🇳 Xi “The Terrible” still has any self-respect, he and his gangs should leave the Chinese people alone.

  9. Also CNN: “Zero Patience for Covid protests in America.”
    Or Canada. Or Australia. Or New Zealand. Or France. Or …
