Meanwhile, at the other end of the universe, in China, strange things are taking place. People are out on the streets in anti-government mass demonstrations. These are not sanctioned by the Corona Committee, i.e. CC of CCP for sure.

 Actually, protesters chant ‘Step down CCP’ in Shanghai against China’s zero-Covid policy

Those gathered in Urumqi Street demanded the resignation of Xi Jinping, the removal of the Chinese Communist Party from power, the lifting of COVID restrictions, and an investigation into the Urumqi tragedy, in which 10 people were killed in a fire in an enclosed house (many believe the tragedy was caused by COVID restrictions, which prohibited people from leaving the house).

Protesters chanted:  “Down with the Communist Party! Xi Jinping to resign! “Freedom for all of China!”.

Are we finally going to see a reversal of the Xi government pursuit of a strict zero-Covid policy since the coronavirus first emerged in Wuhan in late 2019, with strict measures like daily testing and lockdowns? Despite these policies, China recorded its highest ever number of daily Covid-19 infections on Wednesday, registering 31,444 new cases.

Ironically, Klaus Schwab just praised the Chinese system in an interview on Chinese TV as the model system for the West.

Go figure.
