China is currently doing select COVID-19 lockdowns. I don’t think they actually believe in this hoax at all. They are doing these targeted lockdowns to deliberately choke off some of the supply chain to the West without officially saying they are doing it.

It’s actually a smart move by China. The West can’t criticize them for the lockdowns since the West went totally insane and crazy with travel restrictions, masks, forced vaxxing etc.. The West would have to admit that the whole thing is a hoax which is impossible for them to do considering all the damage they did. It basically allows China to disrupt goods that the West needs without admitting that it is official policy. It’s an indirect form of economic warfare.
