A 6.8 magnitude earthquake strikes near a Chinese city in COVID lockdown. Government authorities won't let people go outside. What if many buildings had collapsed?

Authoritarian governments are dangerous too.

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/...n-17423837.php
"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.

But seriously - In China life is cheap. The CCP doesn't care about a few thousand here or there. If controlling the population with the COVID fear lever is working for them then who cares about earthquake casualties here or there?

We need to constantly reinforce to young people that authoritarian regimes embody a callous disregard for human life ... because many univiersities actually teach the opposite now.
