Beijing is not under lockdown. Pretty much everything is open, and has been for more than a year. There are testing requirements to enter Beijing (which is something that's particular to Beijing), but that's it.

China admits that a large part of their GDP is building and tearing things down. There is no "fakeness" about it, it just is what it is.

Beijing is not under lockdown, it just isn't an open city right now.
