Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Just to be clear, when they talk about “Beijing” here, they’re not talking about the Chinese national government, but the municipal/city government of the actual city of Beijing.
This was the first time anywhere in China had tried to limit movement based on a vax, and they canceled it in two days because of public outrage.
Without even mentioning the fact that China’s vax is not some gene therapy thing, but something similar to a normal flu shot – when was the last time the US government changed a policy in 2 days because of public outcry?
RT:
Beijing has ditched a proposed vaccination mandate that would have limited access to its public places to jabbed residents only, the city announced on Thursday, citing public pushback. The Chinese capital had only announced the rule on Wednesday.
Instead of requiring vaccination, Beijing residents can now enter all public venues with a negative Covid test result taken less than 72 hours ago and a temperature check, a city official told state media, adding that the government would continue to promote vaccination on a voluntary informed-consent basis.
Again: there is less freedom in America than in China.
That is a fact.
Set to take effect on July 11, the policy would have barred the unvaxxed from theaters, museums, cinemas, gyms, training and tutoring locations, while medical staff, community service employees, home furnishing operators, express delivery providers, and conference attendees would not only have to get the shot but also receive a booster to continue in their jobs.
While Li Ang of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission insisted there would be exceptions for those who don’t qualify for vaccination, many other countries whose governments initially promised similar exceptions failed to deliver. Nor would the mandate have gotten rid of the city’s testing rules, which require residents to be tested at least once every three days to enter public spaces.
Residents openly questioned the vaccine’s effectiveness against the Omicron variant on social media and denounced the proposed mandate as an illegal limitation on their freedom. A study conducted in Denmark showed both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines displayed a negative effectiveness against the Omicron variant just three months after being vaccinated, though the scientists did not test any of the Chinese Covid-19 vaccine formulas.
“The reversal shows the power of public opinions,” former Global Times editor Hu Xijin noted on his official Weibo account after the rollback was announced, explaining that while “Chinese society is dominated by government,” they “backed up in the face of a public pushback. That means they accept the public’s view of the vaccine mandate as illegal.”
Oh, so you’re allowed to question the government’s vaccine policies and the effectiveness of vaccines on Chinese social media?
And we need to invade this country to give them “more freedom”?
This is what I keep trying to tell boomers like Tucker Carlson who claim that China is some kind of zero freedom dictatorship – it’s just not true. “Public outcry” has actual meaning in China, unlike in America, where it means literally nothing.
Instead of talking about “democracy” vs. “dictatorship,” you should be talking about “personal liberty” and “the ability of the population to petition the government.”
Here’s a quick fact: democracy is incompatible with personal freedom.
Democracy was more compatible with the ability of the mob to petition the government, but it has become less and less so to the point where it’s virtually impossible.
You can criticize China, and I don’t support the Chinese system coming to America, but you can’t say that the Chinese people don’t like it or that it is some kind of “dictatorship” where the people have no ability to resist anything.
Americans just whine about tank man.
Well, the Chinese people all cheered when those ungratefuls were cleared out of Tiananmen Square.
So, whatever.
Maybe we should focus on the problems in our own country?
