the people protested the lockdowns, and the government stupidly lifted the lockdowns. The people also protested the various vaccine mandates when they were attempted, so the government made it voluntary, even for the ones that really should be taking it. So, I doubt the vaccination rates would go up even if it's a western one.
Meanwhile, in Canada... >

It started in China with those deadly scenes from overcrowded hospitals.
It's mind boggling how utterly unprepared Cina is and COVID is hitting back at them exactly 3 years later.
Guess the Coronavirus refused to stick to the government plans. >

? 
havent been paying attention to china news lately?
China was undergoing unprecidented nationwide protests over its "zero covid" policy. some of the largest protests it has seen in recent memory. Eventually the government relaxed the policy finally about a month or two ago. 
Because Xi and the chinese government highly politicized and propagandized against western vaccines early on when Sinovax came around. most Chinese citizens absolutely refuse to trust western vaccines. this is ontop of a natural reluctance to get vaccinated especially by those living in the countryside, and the elderly.
It turns out Sinovax is FAR less effective than whats found in the west. as such many chinese citizens lack immunity and are especially vulnerable to all the newer strains that developed since the beggining of the pandemic...
this has created this "perfect storm" that china now finds itself in. with 37 million new cases being diagnosed per day. China lacks the medical facilities to deal with this level of infection as well. so were quite possibly seeing the beggining of another humongous health crisis.
