Will China's Covid strategy destroy their economy?
It's now two years since covid started and China is the only major country with a strict quarantine policy for foreign arrivals.
A visiting businessman needs to quarantine for 21 days in a quarantine hotel, and then do 7 days of covid tests after that, regardless of whether they have been fully vaccinated.
Suppose you are a fully vaccinated American quality control official, and you need to do inspections of two suppliers, one in Vietnam and one in China. The Vietnam trip will take three days - overnight flight out, day and a half inspecting the factory, and then the flight back across the Pacific. But the Chinese trip requires you to waste three weeks in an expensive hotel, before you do your day and a half of inspections and flying home.
Business people have been gritting their teeth and hoping things normalise soon. But it's now becoming clear that China won't re-open for a couple of years.
If you have existing contracts with Chinese suppliers, there is nothing much you can do. But if you are appointing a new supplier, it's easier to look at other countries, especially as you can fly back and forth easily to sort out problems, and won't have to waste huge chunks of the year in quarantine.
The longer China stays locked away from the rest of the world, the more new contracts will get diverted away from it - and that has an economic cost.

Your post, although logical with the facts given
is completely a non-sequiter.
The Covaids, the Wuhan Flu, the XI-virus is a bio-weapon.
The virus is to kill off the elderly.
Since this wasn't going fast enough, they started injecting the bio-weapon
The lockdowns are to destroy global trade.
They are to make the population of the earth suffer, and so will take anything from govern-cements to go back to the way it was.
This is about one-world govern-cement
This appeal to reason is not helpful.
Their reason is to kill off 90% of the population.
From your post I understand that China still has big problems with Covid. I did not know and I did not expect it
Three weeks does seem a little excessive to quarantine for if you are fully vaccinated.
