Not a single car was sold in Shanghai last month

I just went to CNN and NYTimes and ctrl+f for China,

Nytimes has a single article about students protesting the lock down and CNN requires to go to a specific China section to view coverage.

So it's apparently lower priority not front page news.

It's been ongoing for months, so I would not expect it to stay on the front page.

I mean NYT and other media outlets were begging for this type of “real lockdown” the entire time. Not to mention tons of people. This is the “real lockdown” they all wanted.

Well, this is what a “real” lockdown looks like! They are “taking it serious” over in China!

I still can’t get over how so many countries and states decided to copy china back in march 2020. What you see here is the end result of letting exactly one specific problem completely dominate everything else.

In march 2020, the virus hadn't gotten literally everywhere yet. It hadn't mutated through several new strains. It was a completely different situation. I'm really struggling to understand how these things can be equated, even if I squint really hard.
