Holy shit, China is even more fucked than I thoughtโ€ฆ

Trucking volume is down 87% in China's agricultural heartlands.

Further a third of farmers in Jilin, Liaoning, and Heilongjiang can't get fertilizer or seeds for the spring crops.

 

Because said fertilizer and seed is stuck in cargo holds in Shanghai.

Authorities are also sealing off access to rural villages. Meaning the seed and fertilizer which got off the ships can't get to the cities.

But, its not like that would matter anyways.

 

Local authorities are arresting farmers for being on their tractors.

 

In a field.

 

By themselves.

 

Due to Zero COVID policies.

And now truckers are just dumping food on the side of the road because they're being told they will have to be locked down in their trucks for weeks if they enter the city.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Shanghai, Anhui, Hebei, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Jilin, Guangdong, and Fujian have all gone a step further and shut down access to highways entirely.

For all the folks reading this and assuming some master plan, Xi is facing his third term.

 

If he fails in his bid to secure that term, he's a dead man. And if he admits he was wrong about Zero COVID, he looks sufficiently weak he may lose his bid.

There is this myth in the west that the CCP is some forward looking chessplayer able to look far into the future. The reality is they are just as reactive as Western powers - and are more likely to choose wrong due to information isolation.

The logic of dictatorship turns subordinates and advisors into christmas tigers and mires leaders in the sunk cost fallacy.

 

Which is what we're seeing here.

 

COVID isn't a zombie plague.

Xi isn't trying to fuck over the world.

He's trying to stay alive. Literally.

My sources are here, feel free to check my data.

 

Understand I'm extrapolating based on the way China censors their media and how much of the reality of this is subject to laws making hard data into state secrets.

>either be in breath or out breath.

circular breathing. exist in the space between, the pause.

 

circular breathing is a didgeridoo technique, among other aerophone instruments, and glass blowing, and a technique in pranayama practice etc. Inhalling and exhaling simultaneously, by partitioning internal chambers OR by consciously opening all valves (sinus, throat, esophagus, diaphragmatic reflex, etc) to be one with the flow of prana.
