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

 It’s not semantics. You’ve just got hold of the wrong end of the stick.
China needs to do as I suggested if they want to end these episodic lockdown situations. Nobody is talking about 
 making  China do anything. They are a sovereign country, aren’t they?

The report quite clearly states that Bejing lockdowns are targeted something which OB clearly avoids by attempting  to insinuate that  the shanghai and Beijing lockdowns as being the same or very similar in nature.  
 
If you can’t grasp the above I have neither the time nor the crayons to continue the discussion with you.

 I said ‘ Shanghai has only just survived another lockdown, and now it’s Beijing.’ 
Other than the fact that both lockdowns were due to Covid, I insinuated no such thing.
