When @naomirwolf noted, very accurately, that lockdowns were entirely unprecedented before Xi invented them in Jan 2020, CCP propagandists stormed her feed to reeducate her on the fact that lockdowns ARE historically precedented by the recent 2020 lockdown in Melbourne, AUS. https://twitter.com/naomirwolf/status/1325604856283869189
It seems the CCP is backing off from using China as lockdown exemplar— #ChairmanDan is now lockdown poster child.

Further, the CCP is worried the public is catching on that lockdowns have no historical precedent. Now, the 2020 lockdowns ARE the precedent for the 2020 lockdowns.
In short, the CCP playbook hasn't changed: more gaslighting, propaganda, sybil attacks, fake history and fake science—same methods they've used to rule China for a century. https://twitter.com/MichaelPSenger/status/1307849676834603009?s=20
