"Following the quake, police and health workers refused to allow anxious residents of apartment buildings out, adding to anger over the government’s strict “zero-COVID policy” mandating lockdowns, quarantines and other restrictions, even while the rest of the world has largely reopened."
Queue CD's brigade of Chinese bots with names ending in "ing" to come and tell us that America causes most of the world's earthquakes.
