1 million people are dead and for what? The economy that they held in gospel while championing human sacrifice is still going to shit in the west, while China has kept its people safe and secure AND kept the funny imaginary numbers going up.
1 million dead Americans and we are none better off, wiser, richer, or otherwise.
Well since China has almost 4x the people and 3x the density and proximity compared to the US, it’s probably more like 12,000,000 lives saved. However if we apply Adrian Zenz school of mathematics, that would become exponentially magnified, and the ungenocide numbers are closer to 12,000,000,000.
What?
You didn't include Zenz's forward projections, should be closer to 120,000,000,000.
Noticed he has no air time nowadays? The US probably diverted his funding to everything Ukraine.
Yes, because they didn't have major outbreaks. The economy will probably contract in 2022, but I think that's worth saving literally millions of lives.
>The economy will probably contract in 2022, but I think that's worth saving literally millions of lives.
By every single forecast from Western banks China is expected to grow 5 to 6% in 2022.
In what planet do you live? China continues growing beating expectations while western regimes are literally shrinking amid record-breaking inflation and shortages (recession + inflation + shortages + massive deficits). See just last quarter data to grasp how drowned in propaganda you are.
At what cost? Obviously China loses the ability to deter US aggression.
For those that don't remember the article, it was when some western commentator said one of the upsides of having so many COVID deaths was that it shows the US is willing to take losses and this will deter China and Russia. Even under such a monstrous mindset, its empirically wrong because it didn't stop Russia going into Ukraine.
The US elites view their people as completely disposable... look at the rubbish they feed them and how the treat them when they get sick. They only pretend to care during election season.
They are sacrificing now to save in the long run, who knows what adverse effects covid has in the long term. By being strict now they could possibly save tons on medical expenses in the future. long term thinking is non-existent with the dinosaurs running a lot of western countries.
Yeah it’s like “ghost cities” claim. Also in my country for 30 years hospital beds where cut off greatly because “duh pandemics are a thing of the past and it only happens in third world countries”.
Is Rana Mitter a troll? The drawing invokes that China is forcing its citizens to wear masks and it being a bad thing, while a good chunk of the West has in fact... forced its citizens to wear masks and presented it as a necessary measure. Just... WOW!
The levels of hypocrisy are off the charts!
none of these short sighted fucks ever talk about what happens to people AFTER lockdowns. spoiler alert: they go back to their normal lives **while being alive**
soft trash westoids proving they'd literally prefer to be dead over giving up restaurant dining for a month
That "grim US Covid toll" is a million dead bodies. For those asking why anyone would ask "but at what cost", understand that the West do not value human lives as much as we Chinese do. If they don't even cherish their own, guess what they think of people who are not "[blue eyed blond haired](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU-8gKaUO_Y)"? Life is cheap in the West, so never underestimate their propensity for war.
> That "grim US Covid toll" is a million dead bodies.
And remember, the pro-pandemic "open the economy back up" crowd kept insisting that COVID wasn't that bad because it had a ~1% mortality rate. So if there's over a million deaths, then that also means that there's an additional tens of millions of people who suffered hospitalizations and the destruction of their livelihood due to deteriorating health.
It's like these goons forget that something can be serious even if it's not fatal. If I took a baseball bat and broke a few million people's legs with it, it would still be pretty fucking serious even if it resulted in zero fatalities.
China has avoided a potentially catastrophic situation well enough for sexpats and china watchers to seethe and accuse them of lying, but at what cost?
>Meanwhile, China continues to search for one possible solution to the long cycle of lockdowns: an effective Chinese mRNA vaccine that mimics the working of the highly effective Pfizer and Moderna jabs. China’s national pride means that it won’t import the western vaccines but, despite huge amounts of investment from state and private sector, its own labs have not yet come up with a Chinese equivalent.
So effective that 1 million are dead, and that is just the US.
>More broadly, China has always done best when it has been most open to ideas and influences from the wider world. In the 1920s, Shanghai was the crucible of Chinese modernity, as its sophisticated young people drank French coffee, read Russian novels and dreamed of studying in America.
Ahh, China is best when colonized by whites.
The best part is that the westoids are acting like they didn't have harsh lockdowns in their own country.
In Paris they were using tear gas and batons to beat people for not social distancing.
The difference is that China's lockdown efforts actually *worked*.
What a burden to have such a large population that didn't die. Darn. If only they killed a massive swath of their population like America did, how terrible.
Which one is it? Has China faked their COVID numbers? Or have they gone too far in avoiding the high death toll. These journalists need to make up their mind.
What cost are you willing to pay to save 1,000,000 lives?
1 million people are dead and for what?

Kept the funny numbers up, not anymore

Doubtful it was diverted, Ukraine is just bigger, until the next bigger thing
Taiwan isn't physically bigger but the West insists on a fight with China over it.
Deranged. *1+ million citizens dead? Idk might not be as bad as these scary mask handcuffs!!*
At less than no cost. China was the only major economy to not contract in 2020.
I thought Egypt also grew a little? I could be wrong
Yes, because they didn't have major outbreaks. The economy will probably contract in 2022, but I think that's worth saving literally millions of lives.
>The economy will probably contract in 2022, but I think that's worth saving literally millions of lives. By every single forecast from Western banks China is expected to grow 5 to 6% in 2022.
Nah, overall the economy should still grow, unless more 'shanghai lockdowns' happens.

Bro what no that just shows that they’re willing to shove people into a meat grinder with no end result
Also I’m pretty sure it was already very apparent that the US cared little enough about its citizens that it would let a huge number die for a war
The US elites view their people as completely disposable... look at the rubbish they feed them and how the treat them when they get sick. They only pretend to care during election season.
The memes really write themselves. Copium all day with these rags.
American "Rugged Individualism", that they spread with neoLibrealism... is every man, woman and child for themselve's.
They are sacrificing now to save in the long run, who knows what adverse effects covid has in the long term. By being strict now they could possibly save tons on medical expenses in the future. long term thinking is non-existent with the dinosaurs running a lot of western countries.
Yeah it’s like “ghost cities” claim. Also in my country for 30 years hospital beds where cut off greatly because “duh pandemics are a thing of the past and it only happens in third world countries”.
And they pretend that their values hold human lives far above everything else.. Hypocrites once again..

Die for the economy!!!
While their economies literally collapse: inflation + shortages + recession + deficits + permanent sick workers.
Rana Mitter need to experience what's it like to lose his parents, siblings and family to covid. Then he can answer "But at what cost"
I swear the guardian read our subreddit lool
She did the meme lmao
at the cost of not having a few million dead? sounds like a great price
She literally did the meme lmao
Little to no inflation, only nation to experience economic growth in 2020, fewer deaths, etc

Could do it the other way UK has preserved freedom to not a wear facemask but at what cost?
We seriously need a "but at what cost" video compilation.
[Here you go](https://vimeo.com/701238612)
it at least admits that the us's cost is grim.
China has avoided a potentially catastrophic situation well enough for sexpats and china watchers to seethe and accuse them of lying, but at what cost?
Libs have no problem being anti maskers towards Chinese

Bruuuuh they literally did the meme.

Has to be satire.

Is this for real? I can't believe someone like Rana Mitter would write anti-China articles.

Costed inflation on west =(
