“a test of the state’s ability to control its people’s behaviour”
That’s the really interesting question for me. I understand that China is an authoritarian state and, based on my limited knowledge of Chinese history, always has been to some extent. But surely even authoritarian states have their limits.
I would love to read an article written by a Chinese journalist describing the people’s attitude to these lockdowns. Is there any possibility of meaningful opposition to the CCP? It’s hard to believe China can allow its population to live an increasingly Western lifestyle without a hint of Western individualism and suspicion of government creeping in. China isn’t North Korea.

If the UK government tries anything like this ever again, we must resist tooth and nail.
