China Covid-0 policy

As a response to the recent demonstrations of protest against the Covid-0 policy,  China is starting to relax some of the measures such as lockdowns and mass testing. I think it's a major mistake. The western supporters of this move are forgetting that we can objectively consider the pandemic to be over only thanks to the massive success of western vaccines which prevent hospitalization, serious illness and death. China doesn't have them. They have their own vaccine which is really ineffective and much of the population is not vaccinated, particularly the old people. To allow for some sort of natural immunization now, when the virus is wandering freely across the globe, would be a disaster for China. Unless, of course, this is how they plan to solve their aging population problem...
