Covid protests widen in China after Urumqi fire

Once you hear people burning to death begging for doors to be unblocked.
Fire truck uselessly spraying water that does not touch the building as it can't get close.
Then officials say it was all residents fault.

This is on top of the utter brutality the system has unleashed upon people

Will the CCP survive the mass protests caused by its Zero-COVID policy?

With all the CCTV, and Phone ID to travel measures and it's going to be brutal retribution.
The guy with the speech, ending with
Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death,
There have been chants for Xi and the Party to step down, the 6.5% will probably react badly.

OMG, reading that reminded me of this (from Silicon Valley):

quickymart, Thats a funny clip.
Having worked for an US multinational, their pep talks from USA to global team can promote some humour. Our asthetic being somewhat different.

The original workers just left in abject fear after breakout on the worksite.

The real fear is what happens to you if you get sent to quarantine.
Its a brutal process where you can be arbitrarily trapped and not know when you can get out.
Basics like food and hygienic conditons, showers and working toilets may not be provided.

You may also find the corrupt not only stealing the supplies, pauper you with charges.
One protest started with argument about the price of a carrot no-one can afford.

Perun's lecture on how corruption corroded Russian Military, this is very applicable to CCP.
Its the same result of absolute power it matters little if its Fascism, Communism they arrive at the same point.

The evil west has offered assistance with vaccines.
If the ineffectiveness of their vaccine is the real issue to moving forward.
Xi cannot accept.

Expect Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution to Follow.
