Zero Covid doesn't mean Zero consequences.

True. Although it apparently means zero just about everything else: zero business, zero economy, zero freedom, zero society, zero future.....

This will cripple their Belt and Road ambitions and destroy their much-prized stability programs. If the party fails to deliver on the promises of prosperity, the emerging middle class will be enraged. The CPC must realize that. There's no way to avoid understanding the situation.

With a collapsing real estate sector, the emerging middle class is about to be destroyed.

China's middle class generation has never dealt with economic contraction or wealth destruction. They are about to deal with both in a major way

I'm beginning to think the destruction of the middle class is deliberate and the CPC is willing to risk the fallout. Historically, a rising middle class wants civil liberties, curtailed corruption and a greater say in their own governance. The current establishment might see that as the biggest possible threat.

Perhaps. But collapsing economies have historically had an alarming tendency to bring down governments. The French Revolution in 1789, the 1918 rebellions against the German Kaiser Wilhelm II, the Arab Spring uprisings in 2010 and 2011, and most recently the collapse of the Sri Lankan government all arose from economic instability.

Destroying the middle class by impoverishing them is not a tactic that seems likely to win their future loyalty.

Is China committing economic suicide with its Zero Covid policy? Is this part of a depopulation agenda? Won't this have a ripple effect and severely damage countries dependent on China-based manufacturing, even if they relocate factories elsewhere? It reminds me of how the USA/UK/EU are committing economic and physical suicide with their Covid scamdemic, the toxic "vaccines," and the absurd US/NATO war against Russia via proxy Ukraine. Is the whole world going mad simultaneously? It seems that any nation that follows the WEF/Davos/UN agenda is self-harming. Globalist Ruling Elite + China in bed together to restructure the world? Any explanations would be greatly appreciated.

This is not depopulation per se, but deglobalization. The integrated, transnational, one world economy evangelized by the WEF is falling apart.

Hence my conviction that the script for the Great Reset comes not from Klaus Schwab but from John the Revelator.
