I think China's strategy is zero covid to buy time for one or two years while they research to find the "cure" for this virus attack. They can afford this strategy as they are self sufficient........

Yup, maybe I just think too much about why they decided to stick to zero covid strategy. Agreed that they can afford to stay closed - they did so for extensive decades earlier and since majority of the population is still very much serving the local market to large extend other than their goods for exports.
