I really don't understand why a country where (on average, from Google) every citizen has received 2+ vaccinations there should still be such a strict policy

China's government didn't want the western-made mRNA vaccine. They lobbied and propagandised HARD against it.

Now Omicron hit and their own non-mRNA vaccines don't work. And even if they did, people still believe the propaganda that mRNA is bad for you.

Hard lockdowns are their only tool.
