I quote from the article below from a Chinese citizen.

"I wasn't too worried (when we tested positive), I was quite well prepared with food and medicine," she said.

"When I think of this situation my feeling is just, wow, we are so lucky because now we can isolate at home," Yang said.

"This wave is something we have to face, because it is impossible to stay closed forever," Yang said.

The Chinese people are willing to go through this phase and move on with their lives. Just 1 month ago there was widespread protests.

The current surge is no different from elsewhere. Every country has to go through it to exit from covid pandemic.

Once can say China could have used the time when they had strict restrictions to be better prepared for this phase. This is true. But my take is the sudden widespread protests caught the authorities by surprise and they did a sudden U turn rather than a gradual exit plan.

What ever it is despite the negative news about lack of facilities etc. In 2 weeks most of the people would have caught covid and the crisis will be over. Same as every other country.

As for the negative news, it's the same S.Africa had to face it when their cases surge, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand ...many countries have to face up and go through it.

I see many positives with China relaxation of restrictions. It shows the govt ultimately has to listen to the people and cannot take the hardline forever. The illogicality of trying to prevent deaths with permanent lockdowns was defeated by pragmatism of the people. Going ahead it help to balance the govt with people power and drive a new governance model in China one that has to always answer to the will of the people.

China is unprepared and like many other govts made numerous mistakes. It is they learn from it so they can improve instead of thinking of themselves as perfect. 

As has been widely reported, China did an about-face on its zero-Covid policy, lifting almost all controls because of mass protests in late November. But the protests were just the trigger. The underlying issue is that China’s leaders have finally comprehended the magnitude of the devastating impact of the policy on the economy.
 
The lack of preparation for this has been made worse by the fact that the government got its priorities wrong from the start. Beijing has spent billions of yuan on prevention instead of treatment, on mass testing and building huge quarantine facilities and makeshift hospitals. Imagine how different it could have been if Beijing had poured all that money and resources into public health infrastructure – including grass-roots clinics across the country so that they could better cope with the surging cases.

The government also messed up its vaccination strategy from the outset. When China first started to roll out vaccines, the National Health Commission strongly recommended that only those people aged between 18 and 59 should get jabbed. That gave the impression that the vaccines were not suitable for people over 60, particularly those with underlying medical conditions. Its main rationale appeared to be that those aged 18 to 59 would have to work and needed protection against the virus while the elderly mostly stayed home.

CCP who protest against lock down, if yr loves one died from COVID, dun complain coz u asked for it.

We are just as concerned about yr health. Barking daily...

[Instinct]

The opening was unplanned as it was forced by mass protest. Rather haphazard. Now depends on how the govt will contain the shortages and shortcoming. If they do it well, it's good for the world too.

Right and wrong at the same time. Ah tiong wasted the last 2 years by not getting everyone vaccinated and getting the hospitals ready. Instead ah tiongs wasted tonnes of money on mass testing. Now anyhow open up without getting the people fully vaccinated with real vaccines and no garment check. How can ?

If you think that they only open up because people protest then you are wrong. Even before that there's already rumours that China intend to fully open up in March next year. The protest only brings it forward.

The Chinese leaders are not stupid. They know they cannot lock down forever and Xi is only waiting for the congress to be over, to cement himself another term as president.

So all the kao bei from people about China is simply because they do not understand the dynamics of politics.

2 years wasted on mass testing instead of vaccination. Now force to open when they are not ready. Probably if they have a better vaccine now that most Chinese believe in and start doing mass vaccination, maybe they can catch up on lost time.
