Shanghai video overwhelms Chinese censor, gets 400M views
One thing that I observe about how China deals with COVID: leadership assumes that they have perfect control over perfect people.Therefore they try these type of solutions like complete lock-down of a city of 26m people.They assume that they are perfect as leaders, so planning is perfect and takes everything into consideration.They assume that people will execute their orders perfectly, even under extreme hardship (hunger, lack of medication, being separated from children in hospital, being separated from sick parents, etc).Of course none of that is true.For all its failures, democracy at least has taught us to incorporate the human imperfection into the process and the decisions.We have to compensate for human imperfection, the same way a good engineer takes into consideration the imperfection of the materials, imperfection of signals, numerical imperfections in algorithms, etc.I am curious when China will adjust their model/plan for COVID to consider the vast amount of counter-evidence that is accumulating.
