Yup, one can never REALLY know what's going on over there or why.
Interestingly, one theory of why the lockdowns were so insanely harsh was that they were/are a sort of virtue-signalling/ego-driven contest among the provincial/regional/state leaders to prove their allegiance and obedience to the Party, to "save face"/maintain honor and to show how effectively and completely they could control their citizens.
Funny how that works over there, but not over here.
Hope the people keep pushing further...

Something strange about the way videos are leaking out. China is asshole!

Seems "power corrupts" is a universal truth.
I still think it's more that corrupt people seek power
That may, indeed, be the driver behind MANY who seek, and are in, "positions of power".
