if the children dont turn out you just drown them in alcohol and start again

Since China is an authoritarian country,[12][13][14] the NPC has been described as a rubber stamp legislature[15][16][17] or as only being able to affect issues of low sensitivity and salience to the Chinese regime.[14] According to Rory Truex, NPC "deputies convey citizen grievances but shy away from sensitive political issues, and the government in turn displays partial responsiveness to their concerns."[14] According to the New York Times, the NPC "is a carefully crafted pageant intended to convey the image of a transparent, responsive government."[18] One of the NPC's members, Hu Xiaoyan, told the BBC in 2009 that she has no power to help her constituents. She was quoted as saying, "As a parliamentary representative, I don't have any real power."[19]

I don't think a million people died in two months anywhere in the world

Not So Fast posted:

The figure of a million dead isn't far off what people were predicting, but outside some massive pressure on hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai the outbreak doesn't seem to have been that bad. I believe the official final figure was 89K, figures like a million come from Western modelling of what they think happened based on the infection rate and number of reported cases.

indigi posted:

Peking University estimated in mid-January that 900 million people had been infected. With an optimistic 0.1% infection fatality rate, that would be 900,000 deaths. China's official death statistics are completely cooked. They were one of the last countries treating covid with due seriousness, and when they stopped, a million people died. It's important to acknowledge when talking about the current situation in China.

if u wanna make someone stick hard to a belief until their grave, bully them ruthlessly about it. they will either defensively never give up their original position or, if the bullying takes, let that moment define a turning point.

Yeah but the US also keeps pumping out articles about labor shortages so even with a completely servile media it still has indirect effects on society that can be observed.
