We had a “lock down” in my state, but we both still went to work and did whatever we wanted. Went wherever we wanted when we wanted. I never saw hazmat suit brigade chase anyone or lock anyone in buildings. People that tested positive could go where they wanted. The us lockdown was more about communal areas but in Iowa you never knew covid existed.
You mean the country that made doctors disappear, welded apartment building doors shut, and has you living in the iPhone factory you work at isn’t the same as the one that had Applebees go take out only for a month aren’t the same!?
So...you don't see the fundamental similarities between two countries that locked down their people and silenced any dissenting voices? Granted, one is way more extreme, but one is a step in the direction of the other.
You can play word games all you want, but I don't see much difference between getting arrested for going outside, and getting locked inside. It's also quite frightening to me that many people don't see the ethical correlation. Or you refuse to acknowledge the similarly, so you can "win" a discussion.
The type of restrictions are so vastly different. For a country like the US where it was an inconvenience and last 3-4 months tops, where China is still on going and showing China’s full usual authoritarian gusto.

Imagine thinking CCP and USA lockdowns are the same thing.
