Reply to comment by elcrack0r in Workers leave iPhone factory in Zhengzhou amid COVID curbs by Substantial_Camera_8

That comment says more about you than OP... And it's a legitimate question to raise: why does China continue this policy that clearly isn't working (as they continue to shut down cities) and also hurts them economically.

Because the Sinovac is not as effective as West's vaccines. Combine that with yet another Covid outbreak and China's healthcare system gets overrun again.

I would imagine China's vaccines have improved by now, no?

Apparently not if they're enforcing complete lockdowns of anyplace where there's a remote trace of Covid.

The question is: are the quarantines for that reason, or something else?

if you're talking of shitty authoritarian regimes then a logic like theirs works

you quarantine entire cities at a time, push spyware to your citizens and monitor their every move and while you're at it you can keep gathering more information (other than for prosecution and profiling idk for what) and not have to worry about having a working vaccine

or something idk

never heard of Mao Zedong? The Chinese gov is not one to state they're wrong.

You're correct there. But they tend to like economic growth

I'm just asking a question. China is a zero tolerance state. Doesn't matter who is getting hurt. OP is saying, oh noes, a Apple factory in China closed. Who tf cares?
