Since 2009, Israel has indicted its sitting prime minster, France has prosecuted and convicted two former presidents, and South Korea has prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned two of its former presidents. All were on corruption charges. It’s not unheard of among democracies.

Assuming there ever is an "after," Shanghai is going to be scarred like a pox victim with shops, franchises, and entire mall centers that were just deemed "expendable."
It's not going to just be some "suck it up, buttercup" scenario. Lives have been absolutely ruined.

The inventors of insulin sold the patent for $1. One dollar. Because they knew insulin would save so many lives. One of the 3 inventors, Frederick Banting, wouldn’t even put his name on the patent.
“Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.”

.@PWTooStrong@twitter.com the @USTreasury@twitter.com only lets you type your password with the on-screen keyboard. This is bypassed by just removing the readonly attribute in devtools.
Aaaand the passwords aren't case-sensitive. So I'm guessing they may also be a @plntxtoffenders@twitter.com. Stupid either way.

Someone should make a mid-length list of things that are being called woke - say 50 items - and let politicians go through a process to check what they are against, specifically, when they are doing "war on woke". Perhaps the same for anti-antifa.
