Whatever happens with case counts in China now, one person owns them.

For three years, China’s leader, Xi Jinping, fought a remorseless battle against COVID-19. He called it a “people’s war”—a national struggle to defeat an unseen foe and save lives. The contest locked families in their homes for weeks, strangled the economy, and closed the country to the world. Other governments that failed to contain the pandemic may be indifferent to death and suffering, the message was, but not the Chinese Communist Party, which cares about life above all else.

And then, poof! Xi gave up.

中国国家主席习近平连续3年与新冠肺炎展开了无情的斗争。 他称之为”人民战争”——一场为击败看不见的敌人、拯救生命而进行的民族斗争。 这场竞赛把家庭锁在家里好几个星期，扼杀了经济，使国家与世界隔绝。 其他未能控制疫情的政府也许对死亡和痛苦漠不关心，但中共并不关心，因为中共最关心的是生命。

然后，噗！ 习近平放弃了。
