So they're definitely doing this for an actual reason. Are they cleaning out undesirables or something?

I thought they did it as a demoralisation tactic to keep their citizens in line- to show that they can do it.

This is correct. Not just for China.

Didn't he basically get dictator for life a few years back? Sure there was a big hoo-ha about 3 dissenting voters and their projected life spans

Don't think they would need a lockdown for that. The two main theories to explain this that have been percolating to the surface are

  1. It's not Covid but something else they're doing this for. Rumors and leaks from China from January were that they were dealing with a quite contagious strain of hemorrhagic fever and they're taking extraordinary steps to prevent escaping the country.

  2. It is Covid but they know the actual long term effects/hidden features and they're doing their absolute best to make sure it's tamped down in their own population.

LOL, have they considered possibility 3. which is "Nobody has any disease, fuck those 4 guys, and fuck the rest of you while we're at it?"

Its far more straight forward than that.

Xi built his reputation and power on "saving China from Covid." Which means there can be no Covid. And I mean NOO Covid. And If I see even a hint of it, you better believe I will lock down the entire city and surrounding countryside. What's that? This is just speeding up the worlds industrial firms leaving us for other nations and is speeding up our extreme issues with the economy and banking systems and could destroy the whole system? I Literally! Do Not! Give a shit! I said that China had defeated Covid! So the next time I look, there better be no Covid, or else you will cease to be.

Yeah but why shut down a million people over four guys? It's China, they can grab those guys and do whatever they want to them already. They already have total control over their population so normal explanations don't hold water because what they're doing is very bizarre.

You don't weld buildings shut, bleach down everything and use flamethrowers to sanitize, build hundreds of quarantine camps and fuck over your shipping and factory regions for no reason.

You don't do it for a mild cold though, either. Or even a serious one.

I would question every bit of it--camps, shipping, factory closures, all. If there's a bunch of data points that you're trying to fit into a frame and they just won't, I think the most parsimonious answer is that these pieces don't fit together because they don't go together. Somebody's giving you the pieces and telling you to find a way to make them fit.

After round 1 of total global stupidity, I'd say "Chinese Neo and Trinity busted Chinese Morpheus out and the Agents are covering it up" is a more plausible narrative than whatever the ChiCom Government is permitting to be known. Especially if it's supposed to be some bullshit about disease. We've already done the "spooky virus news out of China" dance.

You're right, you don't which means it could be something else the dumb fucks let get out or "Covid" isn't a cold and they know it.

Like I get it, I just don't see how literally the Matrix happening in real life is more plausible than them fucking up something and trying to cover it up. Like they are really closing up factories and productive regions, shutting down shipping and losing money. These are real events and can be cross checked by companies making shit in those factories or business journals, so what is the purpose or explanation? They already goaded the world into fucking their economies and populations so making more "spooky virus news" doesn't make any sense.

The ancillary stuff like the camps, sanitation, and everything else they seem to bizarrely doing is never reported on in the west and filters through at best the autists of 4chan so again I gotta ask what is the explanation? Because 4chan autists are not running governments or making political decisions.

Not literal matrix, but say some scientist even has rumors hinting he plans to ddfect. What would china's response be?

When you have 1.6 billion people, and you lose 60 million to a random famine or Covid lockdown, it's actually a net positive.

Daily reminder that the Left wanted to do this to the West, and would still be trying to push this shit if we'd let them get away with it.

Fauci was musing this week that his only regret was that he didn't lockdown harder initially.
