On the Podcast, they mentioned that China is not vaccinating those over 60. Hard to know in my mind.
BTW, I always appreciate your insights. I am no longer an active daily investor, but my kids are.

Right? Incredible resource and density pressures. China is not self sufficient in food, energy, commodities.
https://chinapower.csis.org/china-food-security/ https://chinapower.csis.org/energy-footprint/ 30 million Chinese starved to death in the 1959-61 famines. That's within living memory of the CCP leadership. Maybe helps explain, if not justify, their aggressiveness about shipping lanes, the South China Sea, and trying to buy up resources around the world.
China started vaccinations with high-risk persons, rather than starting with the general elderly population. That kind of makes sense, since it was intensely locking down cities so grandpa/ma were in theory safe in their homes, the exposed people were healthcare, essential workers, etc. In March 2021 they started rolling out vaccinations to the elderly.
