When I read a post that takes a lot of words to make a simple point, with a lot of extraneous words, I'm now suspicious that the author was actually ChatGPT, asked to fluff out an idea to maximise word count.

China's abandoning of its zero COVID policy (effectively letting it rip) was inevitable, and now Omicron is ripping through a population that if vaccinated, has the subpar local vaccine. This won't be pretty. Xi is going to need an invasion to distract from justifiable anger.
