If you thought anti-science covid-deniers were just a problem for the west, turn your eyes to the east!

So much for that whole 'all Asians are smart' stereotype.

Against the sound advice of the experts and government, these hooligans are out on the street putting their lives and the lives of their fellow citizens at risk! Some of them aren't wearing masks properly, some not at all. Also noteworthy - I've yet to hear a single Chinese protestor denounce Hitler.

This is a tough spot for Xi and he's going to have to be tough to get through it. The 'quarantine centers' he's building look like a nice start - some will supposedly be able to 'house' close to a 100,000 of these trouble makers until they're deemed safe.

What say you?

What more can Xi do to calm this storm? Can those evil anti-goverment protestors be rehabilitated? Is redemption even possible or are they just too far gone?

The only way I can see this developing is, Xi using this as a pretext to make China even more authoritarian than it already is.

Seconding that. Frankly, I have no problem being done with Xi either. He's had a lot of meddling done within my country's borders - there's been reports of covert financing of specific federal candidates, as well as those unofficial "police stations" inside several Canadian cities - and I'd be glad to see the back of him.

At the same time, seeing the lid taken off the COVID countermeasures in mainland China...what consequences should the rest of us across the planet expect to have to brace for?
