CCP likes to be in control. But bad news is that this covid situation is something they can't control so what do they do? Forcefully locks down cities to cities, districts to districts to restrict the people's movement in the name of virus eradication and let the weakest link who gotten the virus weed out among themselves so people wouldn't start to riot or start some civil unrest sh!t.
It's not about the virus, but about how the ccp wanting to remain in total control of it's people and the country at the expense of it's people. They had this expert by the name of 钟南山, were the commies listening to him?
