Translated to China's total population of 1.4bln, it will mean China mainland will see an equivalent daily death count of around 7,500.
In a mere 10 days the cumulative death count will equal to the total number of infected when the virus first broke out in Wuhan in early 2020.
So it is not surprising that China refuses to adopt the endemic approach.

this is close to peak daily deaths and china just needs to get over the wave.

for context, daily traffic deaths are 700 per day, and no chance to trend down.

And stopping traffic does not even entail imprisoning 25M or more people for months..
so still make sense? or more someone's big ego?
