“Zero strategy” not a risk; Eurasia Group’s report is

Eurasia Group, a US consultancy company, listed China's "zero-tolerance" strategy as useless and a global risk for 2022 in a recent report.
Nothing could be more ridiculous. China's largely control of the pandemic is based on the contribution of millions of medical staff,
as well as the sacrifice and efforts of all the Chinese people.
So how could such a success be "useless" and "risky" in the words of the US company?
Some point to the Omicron variant of the virus as it is highly infectious,
but that only makes the "zero-tolerance" strategy more necessary, because the country must prevent any "one" from becoming "thousands" or even more.
Besides the COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for market use for one year,
providing more defenses in the fight against the virus.
The US is not able to, nor is it willing to, adopt such a "zero-tolerance strategy.
Now its daily tally of infections has soared to 1 million, an unbearable burden on its medical system.
Eurasia Group as a US company should care more about its own nation's affairs, and stop producing laughing-stock reports.
