I'm actually serious. It could be 4D Chess.
After a lengthy hiatus, the Chinese regime has decided to turn on the "pandemic" switch once again. Covid-19 has returned to center stage in China. That’s right. After barely registering any cases (not counting) since April of 2020, China logged a near pandemic high of 3,507 cases on Monday, most of them from the so-called Omicron variant. With over 40 million people now under a severe lockdown, China has gone full circle and reverted back to the inhumane and barbaric measures that it initially took to contain the virus two years ago.
Make no mistake. Within the last couple of years, China has not been totally open. Different provinces in China have implemented lockdowns here and there. But most of them are what you would call “snap” lockdowns, which means that all major activity ceases in the province for a few days before regular scheduled programming resumes. These kinds of lockdowns are narrowly focused and quick. While this latest round of Chinese medical martial law may not last for long, it is the most wide-scale and comprehensive version of a lockdown that the Far East nation has enforced since early 2020.
These are the facts. But I can’t help but be suspicious about these facts. Let me explain why. In January and February of 2020, when the pandemic first began, China had extremely high rates of reported illness and death from the virus. At that time, China was enforcing brutal never-before seen lockdowns that stunned the world. There were horrifying and dystopian stories coming out of China about people being forcefully sealed inside their apartments and being verbally berated by drones if they dared to venture outside. The rest of the global community quickly got on board and emulated China's draconian lockdown strategies in March of 2020. But while everybody else was shutting down their countries, China quietly opened up.
As you can see from this graph, there is a 2 year gap between anything serious happening concerning Covid-19 in China
China literally stopped counting cases and deaths somewhere around March or April of 2020. I kid you not. I remember studying their coronavirus charts two years ago and seeing them mysteriously flatline out of the blue. All of a sudden, there were almost no cases and deaths coming out of China. I was very skeptical about that. While the rest of the world was seeing cases soar, China remained stagnant at around 80,000 total virus cases. I quickly surmised that China wanted to give the global community the impression that it had defeated Covid-19 and that was the reason for stopping the case count. My suspicions were supported by the fact that the mass media machine in America celebrated the abrupt drop in China's coronavirus cases and deaths as indicative of China's “victory” over the virus. The Western media used that to extend the pandemic in the United States while pushing for more extreme social distancing, lockdown, and quarantine measures.
But I didn’t buy into that lie. I knew that China had not "defeated the virus." China had simply stopped counting. It didn't make sense that the pandemic was raging everywhere else in the world besides the country where it had all started. I remember thinking, did China seriously end the its Covid-19 outbreak in the span of 2-3 months? Even though the pandemic literally began there? Impossible. I concluded that they had simply stopped counting and reporting. Just think about it. There really was no other reasonable and rational explanation as for why their cases and deaths dropped so dramatically. Keep in mind that the most "successful" country with regards to the Covid-19 pandemic is North Korea, which has logged 0 cases and 0 deaths thus far. That's very impressive right?
And as one would expect, stopping the Covid count greatly benefited China. China re-opened its country for business while the rest of the globe was shut down. The Chinese economy grew by 2.3% in 2020. While that number may be low by Chinese standards, China was the only major global economy to experience any growth in 2020. China was the only major power that did not experience a recession in the first year of the pandemic. While the U.S. media was pumping out inflated case and death numbers and convincing everyone to “stay-at-home,” China put the pandemic on hold and enjoyed a “V-shaped” financial recovery.
In stark contrast, the United States and many other Western powers suffered an economic downturn in 2020 thanks in large part to obsessive Covid-19 case and death counting among other fear mongering tactics that justified the enforcement of lengthy lockdowns. In the U.S., unemployment numbers reached numbers that had not been seen since the Great Depression. Within the span of 6 months, virtually all of the incredible economic progress that was made during the Trump era, which included record low unemployment numbers, was wiped out. This degree of psychotic self-sabotage did not happen to China because China knew that pushing Covid-19 hysteria via consistent high case and high death reporting for too long would hamper their economic objectives.
