China has had ZERO COVID tolerance policies in place for a very long time and according to the trending topic on Twitter, China’s latest measures led to a fatal fire and have sparked protests all over the country. This of course led many users to think about the policies that were put in place here in the USA as well.

They burned alive as they couldn't escape and no one could get to them in time

This incident, in particular, is gaining a lot of traction and may have been the catalyst for the protests. According to reports, the fire spread and families died because they were locked in the building and unable to get out. The tragedy of lives lost due to COVID is bad enough, but adding the lives lost due to government policies is even worse. Most people understand there is NEVER going to be ZERO COVID. It seems even those ruled by oppressive governments like the CCP are even starting to see it.
And make no mistake, this is the kind of control over the populace our Democrat politicians want to have over us here in the U.S.
Forced Lockdowns, mask, and then ultimately vax mandates proved that https://t.co/nRzpESwQjY

MANY and possibly MOST Democrats did indeed wish death upon the unvaccinated. They happily locked down businesses, destroyed people’s lives, and pushed people into depression, suicide, and addiction relapses. In general, they hurt the overall well-being of school-aged children across the country. They did all of these things in the name of saving us from COVID. It was not called ZERO COVID but they pushed as hard as they could to try and control the population. We are not saying Democrats are the same as the CCP but we will say they may have similar motives (POWER AND CONTROL).
Thats so tragic man! But don't worry guys Covid is under control. All eyes should be on China. https://t.co/7D5qZZhcvr

Surprisingly, reports of the protests are making their way outside of the country and many eyes all over the globe are watching it unfold. Although we are worried the CCP will take devastating actions to quell the protests, we really hope the people fight for their freedoms.

Following what’s happening in China from afar, I can’t feel anything but pure loathing for those in the West who not so long ago held up the Chinese Zero Covid approach as an exemplar.

China 🇨🇳
Protests are erupting across China as people have had enough of the draconian zero Covid lockdowns. This is what eventually happens when people power mobilises against oppressive governments that take away freedoms and human dignity. pic.twitter.com/NsZgZTxEYT

And rather refreshingly, the BBC’s main news story is about the protests in China.

That is refreshing! If the BBC reports it, it must be a big deal. Who knows, by the time we publish this story maybe even MSNBC will have reported on the uprising. We can not find many instances where the Left-leaning media would report on something from a FREEDOM point of view, but we support it when it happens.
As we watch scenes of tumult in China, where protests against zero Covid lockdown quarantines ramp up, never forget that there are some in America who pined for that level of repression. pic.twitter.com/1eTQ3OlIiX

Indeed they did. There were big accounts with official blue checks all over Twitter who wanted more lockdowns, more oppression, more masks, and even wished for the shunning or death of the unvaccinated. We know the Left tries to pretend that didn’t happen, but we remember.
The CCP’s Zero COVID policy was never about the virus – it was only about power & control.
It’s jumped the shark with the latest draconian lockdown and the people are revolting.
It would be incredible if the CCP’s own hand brought it down.
Take down the CCP! 👊👊👊
— Monica Crowley (@MonicaCrowley) November 27, 2022
The CCP is always about power and control and as stated earlier, the Left is also about power and control. Perhaps not as oppressive (YET), but we here in America need to take notice and keep talking about it when even a flicker of those ideas show up here.
Keep your eyes on China and NEVER forget what bad COVID policies have cost every country around the world.
