Lecturing say people in China need to "get stronger" while speaking out just the tiny bit will get you killed...doesn't really help?
I may be misreading your point but God makes individual relationships. Bad things can happen to a geographical area but not everyone in that area will be affected the same way. Moreover, whose to say how one person got affected vs another is worse or on par? Only God would know because He knows what’s in our hearts and who needs what lessons.
God has also has been known to make covenants with nations who exalt Him and live by His standards. China is not one of those nations. God has relationships with some Chinese people so some Chinese will be given protection but not the whole nation.
When the communists took over and executed anti communists, the result was the same: believers in God, Christians or not, non-believers all died in the purge. Where was the onmipresent and omnipotent being intervening there and why didn't he?
Or is it one of those cognitive dissonance things like with the clot shot? "Oh you'll still get sick or die but you'll be less dead"

Did they really have a better outcome though?
