Not good at all. Especially with how the lockdowns in Shanghai are going

Given how China abuses human rights regularly its a LITTE ironic they are soooooo “Concerned“ with a few people getting sick or dying from their virus.
Economic ties have nothing to do with the decision. They have common ground on opposing the US and also a shared interest in taking control of nearby regions. Same reason Israel is staying quiet on Ukraine.said no Ukrainian ever because China criticizing or denouncing Putin's actions would cost China financially.
China Refuses to Condemn Russian Attack, Deflects Blame to U.S.
China refused to condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine, instead urging restraint by “all parties” and repeating criticism that the U.S. was to blame for “hyping” the prospect of war in Eastern Europe in recent days.www.bloomberg.com
Political opinions here. Macrumors will censor you shortly. Also no China negative talk allowed. You better edit your post and spin it into a positive. Perhaps something like, "China health officials are humanly putting old dogs with virus to sleep in order to relieve them of painful unstoppable death."
Flip a coin! When it’s mid air chances are the answer will reveal itself

I think the western world is doing just fine since we are free of dictorial governments . If you want stricter rules maybe you should think about relocating.
Totally. Well, sort of. I mean ... apart from the genocide.

It's been suggested 6% of deaths were due to covid alone, while 94% died with comorbidities so -- not to be callous by any means -- they were at risk anyway. I'm sure the vast majority of people haven't been studying infectious diseases and complications from infections. Political agendas and media clickbait don't get the throw out a century of science.
Why those with comorbidities are still counted as COVID-19 deaths
by extrapolating from the percentage of people who the NCHS says have died of COVID-19 alone, and not of the virus in conjunction with another illness, condition, or comorbidity.
I work at a hospital. I had to go in every day throughout 2020 and 2021. Pre vaccine. Now that I’m vaccinated, boosted, and got omicron and recovered, I’m trying not to really worry about it anymore.
Release.... no, but have that effectively happen with tons of back orders .... oh yeah.
Red of course. Silly question.
Could you elaborate on why this makes any sense? Genuine question.
We’ve seen these measures work to control the virus when it’s growing. Lockdown for a little while and cases go down and the spreading gets reduced. We’ve been through it for more than 2 years, we know it works. I’m sorry you are panicking about the risk of not getting your new iPhone in time.
I can link to wikipedia too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhataboutismTotally. Well, sort of. I mean ... apart from the genocide.

The problem is though that Omicron is way more transmissible, which means that it requires way stricter lockdowns. In previous lockdowns in China you could still go out to buy food and medicine, but in Shanghai that’s no longer an option. It also means lockdowns will be more and more frequent and last longer.
I don’t think this policy can be sustained much longer.
Genocide is bad. Mass death of people with disabilities and pre-existing conditions, is good.It's been suggested 6% of deaths were due to covid alone, while 94% died with comorbidities so -- not to be callous by any means -- they were at risk anyway.

Yeah if you get caught outside during a lockdown, you might be beat up by the authorities . Nice country to live in.
I wonder how difficult it would be for American tech companies to start the process of shifting manufacturing to Mexico and shutting down the drug cartels with legitimate large scale business opportunities and jobs?
And here I thought corona had blown over. Rage in 3, 2, 1...
I wonder how much of this is out of a desire to punish countries taking action against Russia's actions lately. I haven't read that China is having some wide sweeping and incredibly dangerous and deadly variant. But who knows, maybe they are. It just seems 'convenient'... *shrug* Stay tuned?
So far, from what I've read, it's Russia, China, India, Belarus, etc...

Massive.
One of my clients shifted some of their manufacturing to Mexico, or 'tried' to. On a weekend, they had a portable crane and a massive oversized flatbed truck come over to 'steal' this massive 'machine tool', and they ran into some problems. Workers came in Monday to see the mess, with the crane and truck still there. Apparently they forgot to remove a number of attachments and where all of the power and anchor points were. I'm sure it was embarrassing for management, and the employees were not at all happy. I was called out for an office networking issue, and saw the mess the removal left, finally. I'm sure it was expensive.
Moving fab machinery is not likely to be easy, or inexpensive.
Anyone believing the offical Chinese figures on Covid is incredibly naive. I understand Lenin had a term for them.
from what i gathered its a logistic thing, india is known for bureaucratic red tape for any business and bribing is almost a formality. apple is doing the bare minimum in investment so they are not hit by the tariff subjected by the indian gov't, that is also why you only see base models being produced, since in order to produce pro models, apple suppliers would have to import materials in order to sustain the manufacturing, such materials are not readily available nor reliable within India itself.
to be fair no official figures from any country about their own covid is accurate.
I guess you haven’t seen some of the videos.
