President Xi Jinping has been the most ruthless and unyielding authoritarian at the helm of power in China since Mao Zedong. Evidently, Chinese President Xi Jinping enjoys absolute control over the political spectrum of the nation. The entire Chinese Communist Party faces an existential crisis as the party members play second fiddle to the president, accustomed to silencing the voices of his critics.
Xi behind Covid catastrophe in China
The fanatical obsession of the leader has forced the Chinese to compromise on their rights and liberties. The despotic rule of President Xi, which began in 2012, can be attributed to “one man rule” instead of “one party system.” The most recent and prolific illustration of the brutality of President Xi has been the “unpopular Zero-Covid policy.”
The dictatorial policy has taxed the Chinese populace with mass testing, targeted lockdowns, and absolute travel restrictions, which has shackled the citizens and their liberties. Evidently, Beijing has been engaging in flagrant breaches of human rights under the guise of an unwavering five-year “normalization scheme” aimed at disease prevention and control.
Consequently, the underlying public discontent, which has been simmering under the surface ever since the Xi government launched the lockdown policy three years ago, has found a brazen outlet in the form of mass demonstrations against the Chinese containment policies. Evidently, from the magnanimity of the protests, it can be said that the Xi regime is witnessing the greatest domestic threat to his reign ever since the 1989 Tiananmen Square demonstrations.
Xi is silencing the democratic voices in China
On the contrary, the Xi administration has focused all of its efforts on silencing dissenting voices instead of tackling the upsurge of covid cases in the nation. Owing to the escalating standoff between a restless populace and an obstinate authoritarian administration, the Xi administration has decided to leave the citizens to die in an endeavour to buttress its ego.
Amidst the ongoing month-long protests against the administration of China, the Xi administration relaxed COVID curbs after the number of COVID cases started skyrocketing in the country. It depicts the evil play of Xi domestic policy, whereby the Chinese would put the blame on protestors for an increase in covid cases, and would mute democratic demonstrations forever. The move also throws light on the punitive intentions of the government, which have never been questioned earlier by its citizens.

Consequently, the Xi administration has compromised on public utility services and has left it to the people to either jail themselves within the four walls of their home or succumb to the inefficient utility management of the government.
Evidently, China has not officially recorded any COVID deaths in Beijing since November 23rd; on the contrary, experts have claimed that there has been a sharp rise in fatalities on the Chinese mainland, which have been vastly underreported. Furthermore, not only the hospitals but also the mortuaries in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai are overburdened due to the significant increase in Covid-19 cases.

Experts predict the fall of China
An epidemiologist and health economist named Eric Feigl-Ding tweeted a warning on Monday stating that “about 60% of China’s and 10% of the Earth’s population will likely be infected within the next 90 days” and that “the deaths will likely (be)in the millions.” He further tweeted, to calibrate on the future prospects of the epidemic, “This is just the start,” along with a video of dead bodies being stacked in hospital rooms and hallways.
However, the philanthropist is not alone in sharing concern over the sorry state of affairs in China. There have been multiple media reports suggesting the inefficiency of the China vaccine in tackling the COVID virus, in addition to the hard-nosed attitude of the Xi government that has left people to die with no provision of health infrastructure.
The fanatic approach can be highlighted by the assertions of Feigl-Ding, who claimed that the ruling Chinese Communist Party planned to “let whoever needs to be infected, get infected, and let whoever needs to die, die.” The obnoxious attitude of the administration is aimed at getting rid of the early peak of the virus so that there can be a resumption of production.

Consequently, the current situation in China depicts the sorry state in which the populace is in, and the Xi administration, which leaves no opportunity to mock the misery of other nations, has been reduced to the role of a silent spectator.
However, many media reports claim that the ruthless stance of the Xi government owes much to the democratic protests that begged for people’s liberty. The authoritarian President Xi therefore, under the guise of relaxing the curbs has withdrawn the state support so as to make his citizens repent their move of challenging the contemporary Lord of China.
