Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
It could be a deliberate leak to check reactions when Russia's attack while causing a reaction isn't exactly the reaction they feared and is thinking maybe they could try their own.

Taiwan is a much harder but to crack then Ukraine they have been preparing for generations now. Are separated from China by ocean, have a mountainous geography and have an industrial economy.
This is before you factor in local allies because neither Japan, veitnam or India want the chi coma to have the island.
China could win but they will pay in blood for it.
The CCP is not going to move on Taiwan till they see what happens in the US midterms and possibly even see what happens in 2024.
If they can keep a bought gov in DC, the CCP won't need to invade Taiwan to get it back.
They can just make it so Taiwan sees no real difference between Beijing and DC regimes, and thus makes it so their 'independence' is non-existent due to cultural and political operatives in both the Taiwanese and US govs tying Taiwan's hands on more and more matters.
That's what people don't get; the whole Taiwan issue is the CCP using it's puppets in DC and it's operatives in Taipei to keep the 'wartime' propaganda justified internally, while playing the long game and making it so Taiwan comes back 'willingly' down the road.

China Apparently has a High Tech Solutions for the Pandemic with Color Coded QR "Health Code" to Stop the Spread you can have Accessed Right on your Cell Phone!
Seems like China has yet again copied the west mindlessly, an usual with extra shoddiness and totalitarianism. Pingdemic - made in China version.
Considering how crowded cities in China are and how the government loves to take heavy handed actions, this is likely to hit them worse than it did UK.

this is a society that is going to snap and break, I don't know when but Its no longer a question of if the CCP falls but when and how badly.

The paranoid part of me wants to say this is preparation for release of a bioweapon.
The rest of the world would be unprepared for something truly nasty, but China would already have the infrastructure for lockdown-on-steroids.
I very much doubt it is anything like that, but it would make more sense than this kind of response for an endemic disease that is no-longer a serious issue.
Well, even UK did it. It sounds like a good idea, especially to someone who wants to be using hi tech solutions but doesn't really understand them. A few bonus favors from the app suppliers can seal the deal. Then it turns out that in practice it works like shit and can damage the economy on macro scale. Apparently China didn't get the memo. Yet.
And who knows how much pain will it take for them to inevitably withdraw from it and to figure out a way to "save face" while doing so.

As I’ve learned; most chinese don’t care, economics are more likely to cause damage to the CCP than that.
Anti-Theft Devices on a Chinese Apartment Block located in Tangshan, Hebei Province.
America has Chicago, Detrioit, Frisco, LA, and NYC I don't think I'm allowed to critisize china on this one.
I think its the implication that it's not actually for preventing burglary or even if so, it's being done to a ridiculous degree.
once again I live in a country where convinance store clerks work behind bullet proof glass. I think the euros can point and laugh but not us.

The areas that are so high crime, are almost all run by the Democrat Party, and are seriously messed up for the same reasons as full-fledged communist hellholes.
We can point and criticize both for the same reasons.
