It's increasingly looking like, to get the economy back on track, the Party is going to have to: - Step back from Zero COVID quickly in early 2023 and do its best to shore up the healthcare system enough to keep as many folks alive as possible - Pump out even more debt-funded infrastructure projects - Craft a major real-estate sector bail-out - Crank up social benefits and the beginnings of the welfare state they've avoided so far - Figure out *some* way to fund local governments that isn't off-the-books debt.

Which means that they need to figure out how to measure and tax the gray economy and significantly raise taxes on higher- and middle-income earners and corporations, otherwise the debt burden is going to be completely unsurvivable.

Anyone have any thoughts?
