The Chinese prefer to preserve life and to be able to live free of covid, rather than risk it and put up with covid. They might have to live with it at some stage, but the vaccines are forever improving, including ones that will protect against all variants, so the risk will be small, or even non existent, when they fully open up their society. Their economy doing better than ours too.
The Chinese were prepared to knuckle down to get bigger gains later, so their society is now virtually back to normal. Personally, I think that wearing masks, social distancing, and getting vaccinated is no big deal, and I don't know what the fuss is about.
Everything we do has risks, but vaccines are far safer than the diseases they protect against. If people are worried about such small risks, then why cycle on a road, like I do, or drive a car. Many of these antivaxxers are knocking back the beer, wine, and spirits each night doing far more harm, and some people, like me, are probably get too much caffeine.
