"We must learn to think of the polycrisis as a comprehensive crisis whereby the authority and capacity of policy elites to deal effectively with the ensemble of Beckian crises has itself been undermined by the crisis of authority. The polycrisis calls for more than technocrats looking out of their silos. We must place the comprehensive crisis of authority and legitimacy, and elites’ efforts to deal with these meta-crises, at the very center of the frame of reference"
Except in China, where elites deal with crises effectively, on a regular basis and at huge scale.
82% of Chinese support Dynamic Covid Zero, DCZ, because*:
1. Over 3 Covid years, US GDP grew 3.4%, with 1,000,000 Covid deaths and 3,000,000 Long Covids.
2. Over 3 Covid years, China's GDP grew 13.8%, with 7,000 deaths and 38,000 Long Covids.
3. Over 3 Covid years, Chinese life expectancy rose to 77.1 years, US fell to 76.1 years.
4. 72% of Chinese participate in the labor force, vs. 62% of Americans.
5. There are 20 new cases daily per million Chinese, 100 daily in America.
6. 0.0003 deaths/million Chinese, 0.8/million Americans, though Chinese testing catches every case.
7. 95% of China deaths are unvaccinated. In other words, the inactivated vaccines used in China seem to be doing what they are designed to do -prevent serious illness and death.
8. Higher QOL: Free testing & treatment. 7% have been quarantined.
9. "Long Covid is a $3.7 trillion drag on the U.S. economy equal to 17% of pre-pandemic economic output”. Harvard economist David Cutler says cost rivals the Great Recession**.
mRNA serum is expensive, dangerous, and less effective than Sinovac over time. That's why.
Wuhan lab would have to be psychic (and stupid and incompetent – none of which are Chinese characteristics) to have developed a weapon that appeared much earlier in the USA and Europe.
Based on the CDC's sampled Red Cross blood, archived in 2019, 4-6 million Americans were Covid seropositive by December, 2019. [Serologic testing of U.S. blood donations to identify SARS-CoV-2-reactive antibodies. https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/72/12/e1004/6012472].
This, along with the CDC's identification of the world's first Covid death, Lovell Brown, on January 9, 2020, suggests that the virus was endemic in the US in 2019. [https://tinyurl.com/6zjzuj3k].
The WHO investigators found no evidence of it in China before October, 2019, and the stats bear that out.
The US Big Pharma mRNA "vaccines" were based on a genome sequence of the Wuhan virus including the deadly spike protein sent to the US by the Chinese at WIV. These "vaccines" have proved to be deadly, causing many deaths, permanent disabilities, other adverse events, and large measurable "non-Covid" excess death that even the CDC has to acknowledge (esp. since the insurance companies are now talking about it). Why shouldn't this be considered a biological attack? Big Pharma and the CCP were co-investors in the "vaccines."
I don't believe the Chinese data or the CDC's data to a great degree.
The WEF/US neocons have decided that China's demographic collapse is imminent, and have decided to add an economic squeeze. My pet theory is that the CCP and WEF started off as allies in trying to impose this system on the world; then WEF decided to double-cross the CCP and take China down. If WW3 is going to escalate, you can expect more aggression from the West. An oil embargo of China would send it into preindustrial times and mass starvation in mere months, neocon spokesman Peter Zeihan likes to say.
No one wants the CCP's system except the CCP and the World Economic Forum. These are forces of evil. The Chinese people are demanding change, and with luck, they will get it; and with luck the people in the West will crush this totalitarian nightmare before it can see daylight here.

And the reason the Chinese are not using the mRNA genetic injections, most likely developed in a bioweapons lab in Wuhan, is ...?

There is no such critter as the CCP.
You are free to speculate, of course, but without links, you're simply speculating.
lol. Thank you for that creative reply. Peace.
