Surprised there isn't already a thread on this, this might be where the 'zero covid' policy of China becomes completely unstuck. This is probably my most controversial opinion lol but now that the danger of covid has receded to some degree in 'the west' (I know it's not gone away) I think it is worth talking about how certain aspects of this crisis have fed into authoritarian state responses, especially in China but in other parts of the world as well.
Anyway thought I'd start this thread with some links. I don't know a lot about China or Shanghai and I know posters like Jessiedog or JimW might be able to provide some insight into it
