Zero COVID is putting a substantial strain on economic growth in China (through declining retail sales/consumption/business investment) and on youth employment in China (youth unemployment is still in high double digits in China)
Does youth employment in this case count 14-18 year olds, as I believe some official figures previously released did

Mobility and indoor dining curbs. Only one district was locked down, not the entire city.
I said lockdowns *in* Guangzhou which this most certainly is. Banning transit effectively ends all economic activity. Baiyun is the largest district in Guangzhou. Plus; it's not just Guangzhou; it's all over urban China with random lockdowns which severely restrict business when all movement in or out is banned - you effectively turn China into 8 million different customs entities; each of which have their own laws on trade and migration (i.e., a patchwork of bans that always change and for which no one is able to predict with any certainty what will happen in the next few hours/days/weeks/months)

Priorities...

The difficulty with these types of comparisons is that it is difficult to adequately capture or account for distinctions between federal and state-level spending. I suspect most Education spending in the US is state-level and not included in these figures. It would be better to rely on international sources such as World Bank, IMF, UN, OECD, etc. that at least make the attempt to harmonise data between nations.

The guy is known for giving lousy financial advice. He was a strong proponent for facebook, but now facebook business model is crumbling.
Hence my question bro, as a public figure giving advise then he should be liable for lawsuit?

Yep. Public spending on elementary and secondary education in the US is ~$771bn which is ~3.6% of US GDP; in China, total elementary and secondary education spending was $3.7 trillion yuan (~$570bn) or ~3.8% of China's GDP.
