Chinese Have Had it With Lockdowns

Be skeptical of Western reports of protests. The Chinese have a different conception of government and their relationship with it. Some areas have had it with strict lockdowns, but notice most people are wearing masks. They aren't wearing masks to thwart the surveillance state. The main takeaway is the negative mood is boiling over with new rounds of lockdowns. Everyone in and out of China can see another long winter of lockdowns coming as long as zero-covid is the policy.

Perhaps the protests escalate, but there's no evidence of that yet.
