China Struggles to Contain Frustration From Shanghai Covid Lockdown | WSJ 

they trying to slowdown consumption maybe a food shortage is coming

I concur with you

maybe chinese people will at least consider democracy after this

China will be the only pure land on earth, the land of hope for mankind

Exactly!

that and the word provocation

Isn't America the same?

​@@summerain6918 yup USA is same

Guess what, I hear it all the time from the Americans, from their government and their politicians, and their media, and youtubers, common people... Americans are absolutely obsessed with the interference/invasion of foreign forces. Everyone loves that story, especially for a ruling class in crisis. The Democrats have their Russia conspiracy, while the GOP accuses the Dems of collaborating with China. Ordinary people of Chinese and Russian decent became objects of suspicion and inquiry, similar to what the Jew meant to the Germans. Recently, it is reported that the US government raided a Black Liberation organization due to their dissident stance, and the official reason is that the group was collaborating with Russia to "sow divisions within the American Democracy (another word for the power of the State)"... As if divisions aren't already here in the American society! You walk in the streets everyday and see those zombie-like homeless people roaming the streets, all you can think of is getting back to your affluent home as soon as possible. You don't think something isn't right. You don't see REAL divisions and deprivations happening right in front of you in broad daylight. Political persecution can happen in the US, as long as it is justified in the name of state security (or "defense of our precious Democracy"). Anyone who has a different opinion of the affair is immediately denounced as traitors, even though the accusers know very well that the US constitution protects free speech and free association, something that they are so proud of when they use that to justify waging savage wars on much smaller, weaker countries. How cynical!

Foreign forces implant chip into people, control them from inside their brain.

It's amazing one of my friend actually believe in the existence of "foreign forces"

Russia and North Korea also enjoy blaming foreigners.

Dude we almost have the same comment and the same name Lol

Me in quarantine for 51 days the world is unreal for me

If you want to see the world tomorrow look at China today because that's where the world is heading. If people continue on with their thoughts and perceptions the way they currently are. If people continue to deny that an evil force exists amongst us controlling us from The unseen then the trajectory will be the same. It's only when we change our perception of life, it's only when we start to understand real truth that will change the trajectory. The world will be destroyed and people will have brought in the destruction to their own Earth. But that possibility does not have to manifest. There's another possibility that human beings awaken to what's really important. There's another possibility that human beings awaken to who they once were. There are many possibilities. How those possibilities manifest into reality is by perceiving, thoughts and perceptions create behavior and from behavior is the manifestation into reality. When we perceive different we behave different. When we behave different the trajectory changes. If we behave the same the trajectory will be the same.

And remember Chona literally border an irl dystopia (North Korea).

You can't see 1 million deaths in the United States and more than 500000 deaths in India. What does China's policy for the safety of 1.4 billion people have to do with you? Your government doesn't even care about the life or death of its own people, but also comes to point out China's policies

That's really particular and horrible to hear

Private distribution of aid would be regarded as 'smuggling' and strictly prohibited by some community service officers.

Bless to be corrupt public servants just the same with any nation.

Wow

Boiling frog syndrome. Mass Formation.

yes, we Chinese learned tremendously about those values via your marvelous example of US

@@SAL-zg7xd I feel so sad for your reading comprehension. Since we are all chinese, I'll type Chinese. 你tm在这嘲讽个屁，我说了我从美国懂得了自由的意义吗？我明明说的是因为上海疫情让我懂得了自由的可贵。我最后一句明明说的是我在美国呆了一阵，但一直到最近我才从上海疫情中明白一些事情。我用的是过去时stayed ok？就算我用美国举例又如何？都这种时候了还要维护中国的做法嘲讽美国？

you are absolutely right！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！help us

are you from chang?

@@Amanda-pz1rr so what? 98% of Chinese still support the government. The remaining 2% like you don’t make any impact in China, hardly even in overseas.

It will never be. Xi’s reelection is 6 months away. Enjoy at least 6 more months and then the worsening once he is president for life and has unlimited power. You made the mistake of traveling to Western Taiwan to help it prosper.

Where in Shanghai exactly?

Are the quarantine hotels open air or each individual in a closed off room? I've seen footage of people in an indoor hall with little-to-no barriers. How is that going to help stop the spread at the 'hotel' itself!

加油

In the USA you would have been part of the statistics and join the 1 million free Americans in their graves... ;)

You mean when this started the Chinese had played a large role in choosing the director. Now it seems he’s settled in and in more independent

@@bathhatingcat8626 Yes, plus Trump leaving the WHO left a vacuum that China filled. See, for example, the WHO’s refusal to allow Taiwan to obtain even observer status. (They should be a full member - their handling of Covid was exemplary, even though China tried to prevent Taiwan accessing international-grade vaccines.)

​@@DougOfTheAntarctic I don't think you know Taiwan at all. Go check out this island's latest covid news. You will be surprised.

@@jielinzhou1442 Yes, Taiwan is more realistic about omicron than China. China is "fighting the last war", trying to eradicate Covid as they almost succeeded in doing in Wuhan in 2020. But omicron is a different variant, calling for different tactics. Complete eradication of this much more infectious variant is impossible. Greater reliance on vaccination is key. But Chinese vaccines aren't very effective, and the elderly population has avoided taking them.

​@@DougOfTheAntarctic I just want to remind you this. You and I are just ordinary people which has no access to some critical data (vaccine protection rate, injection rate, true death rate, economics impacts, long term health damage etc) that only high ranked government officials can see and make decisions based on. (I mean every country here) Therefore, our knowledge about covid is filtered by our government so as to support our governments' decision on how to contain covid. That is why you are totally against what china government is doing. In the last 2 years, China has been one of the best country in containing covid virus. It is undoubted that there must be reasons for Chinese government to try its best to eradicate omicron. (maybe you are right, chinese vaccines might not work or there are some other reasons too and how government value different approaches, but we don't know). Before you can presented comprehensive scientific evidences showing what China government is doing is wrong, you cannot say China government is wrong now. (don't forget wuhan lockdown were critised by all over the world in 2020, but later it became the most adopted way)

Something we should remember here in the US. Compromise is democracy, getting everything your party wants and nothing for the other party is similar to a one party state. Both parties have played a role in that, at this point I’m just happy about a bipartisan solution, I don’t even care if the policy is sound or not. The bar is set so low now

No, it doesn't have the advantage. Similar happened in AU, CA that are supposedly demo(n)cratic.

um, how loud is that voice...

Yes. Farm animals don't like the poor food therefore pick farmers wife incharge instead : )

@@luminouslink777 hasn’t happened in Canada

I'm truly very sorry to read about your situation.

One communist started a -war- I mean a "Special military operations" The other one -imprisoned- quarantined their own citizens.

Solution; kill the local officials until you get competent officials. Or just keep killing them until you get a new government.

I am very sorry to hear that. But why are you surprised? You knew they were already doing it to the Uygurs is Xinjiang. Why did you think they would not do it to you?

@@nomoresunforever3695 I was actually going to ask about that but you beat me to it and also I had already lead with the whole w"hy don't you just start killing party officials until you get someone competent" bit....

@@llkk290 how? Considering it's the zero covid strategy that is causing the lock down.

@@Sharonmplus shanghai open up cause case spike

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know some of these details.

this is just a rehearsal for the big event in the US. China will soon be hosting street parties like they did in Wuhan. But Americans will be lucky to eat pancakes on Thanksgiving and sardines for Christmas.

@@eduardochavacano I hope so, I'll go to mexico with my latina..

If people are starving anger at rotting veggies that could have been used is not a minor detail. Some of us are very privileged in America to not to know what it is like to starve and not know when you will get food next.

communism is garbage

@@astheemeraldfalls Exactly, "rotting vegetables is a minor issue" only for sb with a full pantry and fridge.

Pretty sure restrictions have been lifted in most major countries now… except China, evidently.

And from what I understand, the Swedes opened up their schools earlier than anybody mask free.

Why do you believe what little you see? They are fed fake food made literally with cardboard. Its not about feeding them, its about how little they have to spend to not fall into inhumane treatement. "Fresh vegetables" , you poor naive mind 👀

What people should also do all over the world, well those who wants to... is grow food forests, fruit trees everywhere. food rather than lawns, green the deserts (look up Geoff Lawtons work) self sustaining housing (Reynolds) self sustaining cities K(like china has started in some places) etc..

From my understanding, their diet is made by fresh foods. They don't normally eat frozen foods, so because of this the average person will go to the grocery stores every 2 to 3 days.

@@Hawkeye6941 facts. i don't think americans understand how much processed food they consume compared to other cultures.

Good point!

Sadly China is trying to prevent people from leaving. I heard some people have gotten their passports cut up at the airport. Many have indeed left though, mostly wealthy people. The CCP probably isn't very happy that all that capital is trying to leave in hordes.

China isn't renovating most passports at the moment...

You act like it’s that easy. Any Westerner in most nations can just up and leave but most Chinese cant afford it and the visa process is extremely corrupted and takes years to get processed.

Moving to uk is alright but if they move to the us they won’t be safe. They’ll literally get racially attacked or killed for being asian

Western propaganda. Us let covid get out of control and let 1 million die. Who wants to migrate here ?

@@aofeizhang8735 chinese bot

Maybe if they would actually allow the people of Shanghai to eat healthily and socialize there would be little to no cases at all. When you get depressed, it’s more likely you will get sick. No socializing, no sharing important germs to create immunity. Honestly, how dumb could some people be? I feel like this isn’t about the Covid cases but about control.

Nothing is normal under a communist regime.

Summon a mass prayer ritual. I'd love to switch places with you. Quarantines, restrictions, and isolation mean nothing to me after I had an epiphany that I didn't even survive the first round. And a corpse can't really die twice so I don't mind being a hostage.

It will end but the people won't forget

If the CCP walks back on the zero policy the people will question the communist gov. actions. It may be quite some time for this to end there. Hence why they are telling everyone its coming in from foreign sources, food, or other excuses.

@@standown2080 if only an authoritarian country hadn't create a virus

forgot? tienanmen square was china actively suppressing the democracy that came with economic integration...this is just a result of an authoritarian state

China did not forget democracy but China did prioritize economic developments. Shanghai relaxed the restrictions too quickly, which allowed the local outbreak, which forced the government to impose wide lockdowns with chaotic management. Luckily the outbreak has dwindled now and Shanghai is expected to reopen in June.

true, US remembered democracy in favor of economic development... freedom to protests, freedom to shoot anyone you like,freedom to die... yes we are paying the price to have outbreak controlled and death toll minimized, we are paying the price to have life back not normal gradually

Yes, even after all of this, Chinese people don’t know what’s going on. The hatred towards foreigners doesn’t change. It’s all because they’re closed off from the world. Sigh

@@orangerightgold7512 Yes, that's true. But my point was that despite living under an authoritarian government for nearly 70 years, most people in China seem to be happy with that. They're ok to compromise their freedom for development.

@@reach2prasanna well what choice do they have? they suffered a century of humiliation, got taken over by japan then forced to give up part of its country to different western powers and was exploited to no end. so it was either give up a bit of freedom for development or stay exploited.
