I feel the zero COVID protests were the exception that proves the rule. The policy outlived its usefulness in light of less deadly strains, and the protests gave Xi an easy transition. Appeasement was the right choice, but one extremely out of character for the central government.

its possible to write a single text file that is valid bash/dash/zsh/powershell and valid JavaScript all at the same time. It sounds impossible, but there is enough overlapping syntax that actually any javascript program can be converted into a valid bash script without mangling the JS code.
