Omicron is actually NOT weaker, there is just more built in immunity (prior infections and vaccinations) in the USA and other nations. China has a low uptake in vaccines, especially in its most vulnerable population. So that vulnerable population is subject to death when they have no immunity.

Our household has had all the vaccines and boosters, so when we caught it it was a mixed bag. My daughter and husband got sick for a couple of days/the equivalent of a mild flu or bad cold. I never caught it at all.
