The question is how many are quarantined? And what is the definition of lockdowns? Shanghai in March was yhe extreme case with total lockdowns, then there were restricted movement lockdowns in a few provinces where everything is open but travelling inter province was closed for 2 weeks, but material transport and logistics were allowed. There is also mild targeted lockdowns in one or two housing areas for 3 days. So it is dynamic, hence the word DYNAMIC ZERO COVID. At the peak of extreme Shanghai lockdown, less than 1% of China was under lockdown and 99% were open and functioning. Nowadays China don't allow complete lockdown like Shanghai anymore, there is travel restriction style lockdowns like Zhengzhou and within Zhengzhou a few communities are under heavy lockdown due to extremely high cases.

Before it was easy for China to handle the COVID with Lockdowns, because it was spread in a small number of cities, but now it's spread through many regions. If they can get out of COVID from one city, the next one will started and in a couple of months it will come back again. At the moment my niece lives in Shanghai and some district are under Lockdown again.
Also many people suffers from lockdown, not everybody are wellfare and lives in a good apartment. We have to think about the people or family's are living in a small room less than 15 qm Meter, without a window or air conditioners for about 3 months in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Also my niece told me stories, back at that time, that it was true that some appartments doesn't receive good support of food, not like the other one's in better districts.

How do you manage to misspell a 3 letter word lol
That's genuinely impressive.
Unlike at start of pandemic, almost every omicron death is with those with significant comorbidities.
I don't see why it is a dilemma at all that people can voice their opinion. It's a free country and you're free to provide feedback as long as you don't break laws.

Not a dilemma, and obvious choice. China doesn't run a democracy circus where politicians are worried about getting re-elected every year so they will just review the scientific data, implement the best policy based on it, and if a few people riot, summon the police to put them down. Good parents don't give in to kids' tantrums; they always do what's good for the kids.
Covid is not becoming flu anytime soon and CCP should know that. Only when covid become flu then government should think about charging for testing, much less announcing already.
Clearly, you didn't read the article. The article said that free PCR would extend to end of December. It said nothing about charging for PCR after that. Shanghai has extended free PCR tests multiple times already. It probably would continue to offer free PCR tests after December.
Only 1/10 are showing symptoms and of those if the Shanghai data is correct only 3/1000 are dying. Quite interesting, because viruses do not only adapt to host cells and immune system but also evolve to adapt to human behavior. Is probably that the virus is evolving to be more stealthy to infect more people. Lets see what happen. It could be that the CPC is working towards more relaxation next year. So i would recommend to get the vaccine or booster as soon as possible. If they relax I don't think the CPC will count/publish neither the sick or the death, the pandemic will be "over".

Because most places are not testing. India is not testing at all but rest assured lots of people are sick.
