I think it’s a face issue as well. High speed rail and 450 navy ships and space stations create a big wow 😯 in the minds of both Chinese foreigners. How great is China! Nobody cares how many hospital beds you have per capita until a pandemic hits. But COVID has been around for three years now, why has the healthcare system not been strengthened? Why have western vaccines not been imported? Because they didn’t want to admit that the lockdown idea was flawed and that western vaccines are better than Chinese vaccines. 老共死愛面子死不認錯。
