It seems rather pointless to me when you continually post links to articles we cant access.
China is basically self-sustaining and can maintain the policy for as long possible. They got a large local economy and for as long as supply chain are not affected, there is no reason for China to give up on the zero covid strategy.
Singapore got no choice as she don't have any local economy to fall back on.
Western medias and gov are trying to lure china into thinking opening up and accepting high infection numbers are rite of passage to 'nornamcy'.
Firstly it will cover up the incompetence of their govt once china suffer the same fate.
Secondly it will give them the chance to lobby for foreign companies to leave China as frequently lockdowns disruptions to the supply of chain take it toll to the economy globally.
