China goes in frenzy with "zero covid policy", Shangai and some other major cities are being locked down for over a month.

China appeared to be beyond saving for quite a while now. It seemed there is no need to do anything out of ordinary, just continue to slowly but steadily build out the toalitarian survailance state. So what was the motive behind these extreme measures that caused a massive civil unrest? I mean they must surely have planned and simulated this beforhand.
Should we even believe this narrative, is it indeed this crazy in China or its being overexaggerated?

Sorry for my poor grammar, English is not my first language. I haven't checked out the video link you posted, but as a Chinese person living in China right now, I can confirm that everything happening in China right now seems very crazy. We are forced to stay home for a very long period, and there would always be a strict lockdown if there are covid cases reported(especially cities with huge population like shanghai). There were people starved to death in Shanghai. We have no choice but to take the PCR tests over three times every week(depends on the city). If you missed the test once, you'll get a yellow QR code, which means that you cannot go anywhere until you take the test to prove that you test covid negative(only people who show a green QR code can enter public places). I think the unstoppable PCR tests may be another way to deal with people who are not jabbed since you cannot escape the test(even you do not go out and just stay at home, you have to take the tests, if you do not take the test, people who are in charge of your residence/apartment community will knock on your door to ask you to do so). Besides, recently there are many policies to prevent people from going aboard. And starting from two weeks ago, everyone's IP address on Weibo, one of the biggest social media platform, are shown publicly to the whole internet. Although I rarely use any Chinese social media platform, this kind of thing makes wonder what are the next thing they are going to do to us. Firstly the lockdown and the frequent PCR tests, then restrictions on going abroad and showing your IP address, what's next? We do not have freedom of speech here, so there's little opposite voices against these. Everything happening right now is very unbearable to me. I don't know what to do right now, with my family putting a lot stress on me, forcing me to take the jab.

Thanks for responding as someone who is actually living there. I want to say that you are really brave and with good willpower, because you have avoided the jab. My advice would be to rely on your intuition at all times. Stay strong and believe in yourself and Source that there will be a chance to remain in your own sovereignty even if living in China.

I'm positively surprised that there are still people like you in China.
