I'm not sure it's the best approach, but I would figure they would wait until circulating Covid strains were acceptably less harmful and then reopen.

That’s already happening and it was the more mild omicron strain causing the latest lockdowns and the resurgence.
Their lockdowns are politically motivated: saving face because they prematurely declared victory, and a need to avoid dependence on western vaccines due to the ineffectiveness of their own vaccines—the latter really just a roundabout way to save face.
If you understood Chinese culture, you’d know that saving face is pretty important and makes you do crazy things.
