China is the enemy of the westChina's continued use of zero-COVID policy is aimed at one thing - increasing the economic turmoil in the world. They have no interest in helping their own people, if they had they would have instituted an effective vaccine campaign long ago. They would have worked with the west to discover the origins of the virus and with western help been able to mitigate the harm it caused.
Chna wants to aggravate the economic harm that has occurred due to COVID and the policy responses of the west. They are choking off the supply chains and causing a rise in costs and interest rates accross the world. The economic panic setting in on the west is causing political turmoil and a rise in authoritarianism. China is gleefully causing its own people harm because they see the greater outcome of destroying western democracies as being very attainable in the current environment.
