We might wish or 'need' China to act in a certain way due to our dependencies

Nobody is telling China how to act.
They can do what they like, as you rightly point out.
They could quite easily raze Shanghai to the ground or wherever to burn covid away with the people inside it. It would be unethical to do so. But if they wanted to they would be within their rights to react as they see fit - or would they?
It's not really a question of semantics.
It is really a statement of fact that lockdowns don't work.
We even have the zero-covid zealots from March 2020 like Jeremy Hunt now retconning their stances to say they wouldn't have locked down.
