- As Shanghai remains locked down amid China’s biggest Covid-19 outbreak, residents are taking to social media to vent about a shortage of food or how they’re bartering with neighbors. Anxiety and hunger are prompting many to question Beijing’s pandemic strategy.
WSJ explores how residents are scrambling to find food amid the strict lockdown and how the growing discontent could challenge Beijing’s commitment to a zero-Covid policy.

This is mental torture. To hear the screaming of the people in there homes & fighting against COVID Workers for food is just chilling to hear. This is insanity.
China is fine, please don't worry! It's understandable to vent your emotions
And some of them have jumped. Terrible situation.
It's the New World Order. Everyone will see war, famine, etc. It's here. The good, bad, and the ugly.
@@Surfrz3 rubbish, they are shouting encouragement to each other.
@@icet2191 yeah. Sure. Everything is fine!
I live in Shanghai. The level of mismanagement and incompetence of the local government is really on another level. Its an absolute mess. I feel sorry for everyone living through this right now from residents to the people who have to field thousands of calls with no support on how to help, to the medics who need to go out and test millions of people literally everyday. Its just incomprehensible how this is going on...
But don’t the vast majority of Chinese support zero covid?
Best wishes and warm thoughts to you and everyone in Shanghai from the UK
Hey,stay strong men. I really feel sorry for you. As long as people get loud about this ,authoritines may ease restriction when people pressure them too much.
I don't think they want you alive.
Don't wait until you all are to weak . EVERYONE MUST NOT COMPLY. 25 MILLION PEOPLE WILL CRUSH THEM. HOW LONG WILL YOU WAIT
"Food shortages" is a disgusting way of saying "yeah, we're starving you out"
Foresight into the planned for USA, EU.
Trust me the little Left wing darlings have this in store for the deplorable which is why they've worked so hard to disarm us.

@@dimitri6171 soon it will be
It is true, here in Shanghai, my family tries our hardest to get groceries and send even bare vegetables to our elderly neighbors, families, and friends who have been locked down for several weeks. In the past, I might have been proud of my Chinese heritage and culture, as it was part of my identity. Now, I am just ashamed at our government, and ashamed at what Shanghai has come to. Please pray for us, the people, we really appreciate it.
My heart is crying with you, i will pray for you and your family and people of china, such a great nation. If we all agree in prayer, together we can brake the powers of darkness over the country and your rulers minds.
Love and peace to you.
Please pray and sing , yourself, if you can.
I'm so sad to hear what is happening it literally is breaking my heart...I'm in America and I wish there were something I could do more other than to work constantly to get people to understand you can't lockdown a modern society to combat a virus
History is repeating itself buddy. Mao starved his subjects by the millions. Now again your rulers are genociding you by starvation. Nothing new under the sun. This IS MURDER under the guise to keep you save. I cant believe that people cant seem to grasp that evil people in government are actually intending to kill you. But they cant say that out loud. They have to tell a lie to keep you people asleep.
You should really research Agenda*21. This is all part of the Great Reset
Rise up may be the only way.
This is a huge waste of resources and unnecessary torture for the people. There is no food shortage, the shortage is purely due to the ban of distribution logistics. A lot of fresh food donated by people from other provinces were stopped at the warehouses or in the trucks and rotted.
That's what a one man autocracy does to a country
I completely agree. An unnecessary precedent for a virus that’s 99% recovery rate and mild symptoms. This is crimes against humanity
No, you're wrong. It's due to covidity: paranoid delusions, out of touch officials & woke lockdowners, and people who cannot for a moment fathom that they are causing real harm because they have been so brainwashed by the cult.
why, though? why ban the distribution?
@@jostimantatarigan7657 It may spread the disease. The BA.2 can survive on smooth surfaces for weeks with some expressmen reported positive.
I cant think of any country treating their otherwise healthy citizens like potential terror suspects. Absolute madness. Thanks for this report!
American Leftist utopia right there.
How about the US shooting and incarcerating millions of black people?
Ah don’t worry about it. The Chinese love and support their government. They are cool with it.
@@MrClaudiuzz9 they are scared of it. Chinese people have been bullied into submission by the communist dictatorship.
China is fine, thank you for your concern!
I am a Chinese and live in Shanghai, I know most people in China are brainwashed by CCP but they are many people like me here who despise these policies and violence by the government, pray for us.
This has been occurring all over China since the beginning of the outbreak. What has been done to the general population by the CCP is heartbreaking.
Unfortunately ppl in China are not politically-enlightened enough to stand up for their rights, and it will take decades to change that
My fiancé lives in Shanghai, her mom broke her back and fractured her bone at home during this lockdown and because of the restriction she is not allowed to go to emergency care…online doctor said if she doesn’t go to hospital immediately the fractured bone could puncture her lung…and it’s been a week since this happened…my fiancé is crying everyday at home…
That's awful. I hope she gets the medical help she needs asap.
So more people are dying from the lockdown than from Covid
@@craigruchman7007 0 ppl have died from Covid so far in Shanghai..
Call 110
I had similar problem in Indonesia.. My mom suffered a stroke, fainted & hit her head causing brain haemorage in Jan 2021.. No ambulance service is willing to pick her up. After 2hrs of waiting, we rushed her in a car to 3 different hospitals and was rejected by all, claiming that there was no available bed.. At the last hospital we insisted and refused to leave, the doctors finally relented and took her in.
I hv always felt, as bad n as poor as Indonesia is, the ppl & gov are much more humane compared to China..
The zero covid policy is not based on science but politics, and people are suffering now. I am in Shanghai now and I feel sorry for the people there.
What can you say about that? Chinese chose CCP which also torturing neighboring countries. Deal with it!

You are just Taiwan 1450 pretending to be Chinese.
like how the heck do they expect family to live a week off of this 1:49 , thats at most 2 days worth.
literally a modern dystopia.

LET, us not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don't come from great performances but rather it's great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience, i am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.
you're right, but any Invextment without a proper guidance and experience is suicidal

@@superherovssuperherofight6645 I can give you his Wat sap num 👇
Such incompetence. It's been 2 1/2 years of covid. It's not going anywhere, let your people go about their lives and treat the sick.
I live in Shanghai and the video is still on the understatement side of the situation. The fear that you may have no food tomorrow haunts people the most. Hard to imagine this is 2022 instead of 1922. Sad.
No, it's not surprising this is happening, history always repeats itself and people are too stupid, scared and lazy to stand up the government
Stay strong. Best wishes and good karma from the US!
I live in a commercial building, formerly a hotel. It's absolutely the worst place to be during a lockdown. I was supposed to move to an old mansion before this and the previous resident of my place is living it up with good people. :\
I just received a food package and some water from friends in Pudong after 11+ days.
It’s disgusting how the government is treating you!
@@jimettamarna417 Thank you Jim!
This is why people shouldn't let the government own everything or just have the government call all the shots.

When you give the government a chance to rule over your lives, no matter what it is. This is the results of absolute insanity.
This is what the American left wants for the US. They want complete government control , they don’t understand this is what happens. That’s why they want to take all the guns away from citizens so we can’t fight back. China needs to be punished for these crimes against humanity not rewarded

How do you stop it?

This video doesn't cover half of it. Much food is being destroyed rather than delivered. Some of the "isolation rooms" are simply cardboard boxes with about 1/2 meter space between them. They are only showing the clean/nice quarantine locations. If people find this video disturbing, what would they think if they saw just how bad it truly is?
It’s China. Not surprising at all.
why is food being destroyed?
@@darbymori350 it's for the sake of control. They'd prefer for people to starve off and die, but some are taking their own lives, because of this insanity. This is all being done intentionally, it's part of the agenda for a "reset".
@@darbymori350 Politics. There is infighting within factions of the CCP. They don't care about the people if they can make their opponents look bad.
Yeah..the other half is in Xinjiang Province. Karma baby...
One violinist from Shanghai Philharmonic jumped from balcony to death after emergency care was not available. Another singer famous for singing praise songs for the govt died inside her quarantined home without being discovered for days. A nurse died from hospital lockdown outside the hospital where she worked. Infants were separated from quarantined parents. Dogs and cats of infected owners were killed. WSJ is being very soft.
They should at least keep the grocery stores open like we did in the USA. During the height of our lockdown, it was essential travel only which included getting groceries. Not allowing that at the very least is just not right.
You forgot Liquor Stores
'Right' is what the Party says is right.
And if you want to support and strengthen the Party right from your own neighbourhood, just drive to the mall and pick up some China-made merchandise. It's been working fantastically well for a good 35 years now.
Pay attention, Karen's. This is what authoritarianism actually looks like.
A normal civilian doesn’t know what’s best for the greater whole country and only concerns about his personal lifestyle needs. The governing body sees the full picture and decides the best course of action for its nation. China has risen to a global economic nation within the last decade so I think its government did something right. Just another way to look at it.
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 Wow, do you get paid for this? I really hope so or else you really have been drinking the CCP kool-aid.
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 I used to agree. However, China is not a wealthy country. Its gdp per capita at ppp is around that of Thailand's and Mexico's. It's far behind South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, all of which diverged from China's authoritarian model despite being part of China only 100 years ago. Authoritarians aren't immune from political incentives. It's just that the people they have to keep happy in order to stay in power are fewer, which is actually more corrupting and limits growth.
@@dexterwestin3747 I expected this reply. No, I have no affiliation with China nor the CCP. Just trying to see it from a grand perspective.
Think about it, though - what if you were the leader of a nation?
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 do you work for xi? Or is it putin?
If Chinese government treats majority like this then imagine how they will treat minorities in China like Tibetan, Uyghur Muslims etc 😢
They are treated better, the minorities were not restricted by the one child policy, the minorities are gaining extra credits when taking national exams... You are commenting the same content on so many videos, what's your intention?
@@stevewu9372 lol snowflake
It’s digital age, if something even close to this you’d see many leaked videos, nothing really able to get truly censored, especially if it’s shocking, it will spread fast, once it’s online it’s online forever…
Thn welcome to india u will seee how government treated minority
@@stevewu9372 if this is the case, the Han Chinese should blame and complain their government because of unfair policy. However, what I notice is that a lot of Han Chinese blame this to the minority.
Let's say a father of 2 boys pampered the younger and treated the elder brother unfairly. Do we blame the younger boy or the father?
In Malaysia, the government create the narrative that the Chinese monitory took away all the wealth from the majority Malay, this divert the complaint of the incompetent government running the country and blaming the Chinese minority
Incredible. The government determines when you get your food, how often you get your food and there’s no way to know whether or not someone takes the food in front of your door.
China is not like that -- we do not need to steal each other's food....in fact most days we are glad to share with our neighbors. We have so much food in our building that it sits in the hall.....extra food that all the neighbors have too much of....we put it in the hall and post a pic in the building group for those that might want it.
I don’t understand, I read that China currently has 70% the world’s grains and wheat so who or what are they saving the food for when their citizens are starving?😳 wickedness.
A country that starves their citizens is not one that cares about the health and well-being of these citizens.
💩🦇💩🦇🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Usa starves it's citizens
Welcome to Cuba, welcome to China, and Venezuela. I’m from Cuba and growing up see how the government have totally control about the food in general about everything. They used the strategy to not give you access to the food and after starving they give you a little food so the people are grateful to them. Is just control.
Shanghai has to take the results of its mismanagement
Well China is very overpopulated, so it’s very hard for them to feed every single one of them.
This piece does not even mention the death and suffering of those who needed medical care for all sorts of medical issues in light of the lock down or the horrendous conditions of mandatory quarantine facilities.
The media are vermin, they only show half truths.
This makes me worried about orphanage, babies, children, elderly that live by them self and etc. I pray for them all.
The Chinese government is crazy.. They're gonna starve their citizens to death, in an effort to keep face.
Imagine the government starving you and claiming its "protecting you"
It’s hard to see people in this situation for survival
The Chinese bioweapon boomerang right back at the sender
The US leads the world in COVID deaths so we must be doing something right.
It's better to starve to death then suffer a cold.
@@robertbrevoort4782 they are treated as criminals
Well, perhaps if they fought for freedom, things would be different.
the screaming is bone chilling. :( And it's not just about delivering necessities. It's about providing medical treatments (not just medicines) those that need it.
They should deliver 💩🦇💩🦇💩for their food 😂😂😂😂
@@melroy1902 Why is that an appropriate comment?
@@melroy1902
Don't worry, be happy!!! This is planned for the neighborhood near you!!!
China is fine, please don't worry! It's understandable to vent your emotions
For me, its oddly uplifting; they passively let the Red Chinese government take the steps that lead to this, so, yeah, problem ultimately leads back to the people.
Donations sent to China mysteriously disappear or are halted. Food donations sent to China were thrown by the workers of the government into garbage dumpsters.
THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE.
Benny Johnson has a very in depth video with an ex pat living in Shanghai. It makes you want to kiss the ground in America. This situation is just beyond words.
Terrifying - and to find starving people getting beat when they are yelling - we are going crazy - help us. Shameful.
That government killed their dogs and cats. That is so cruel.
COVID never go away so the only solution is fighting back.
The Chinese Government are acting like human snake people with no love in their hearts.
On the bright side, they still get to order take out using their $1000 iPhone inside a 5 stars hotel.
For the nerds. Try use your detective mode to solve this with me.
"A leak in the air conditioner was the cause of the out break?" When someone is asymptomatic, they do not show any signs that the disease is present in their body. The CDC estimates that 35% of COVID-19 cases are asymptomatic. In asymptomatic cases, people don’t know they are infected. There is no way for others to know either.
Any good counter measures? I'm all ears.
Anyway
Notice all the cases reported in Shanghai (280,000) , but zero death? What do you think it's keeping them alive? Hint: Chinese vaccine.
Now compare to this.
The U.S. has surpassed 750,000 COVID-19 deaths, according to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University. Some of the counties with the highest death tolls are California's Los Angeles County, Arizona's Maricopa County, Illinois' Cook County, and Texas' Harris County.
The U.S. now leads the world with the most COVID-19 deaths, followed by Brazil with more than 600,000. Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 46 million Americans have been infected with the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently recommended that children from ages 5-11 can receive a low dosage of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

The body cannot fight disease without good food. This is some kind of torture !!
You didn't talk about the fact that most of this food is thrown away or dermed unsafe to eat by the CCP. There a mass reports of donated good being thrown away and the government doing very little in regard to actually giving food.
There's no food shortage it's all rotting away at the city gates local government have closed the freeways.
wow is this for real ? this is what happens when 1 person is in power for too long. You end up with a fool making all of the important decisions for the masses.
that "fool" prevent hundred thousands of death in china and global economic chaos, go check how many people died in india because of covid,compare that to china. india can afford nation wide lockdown, china cant because if they did this will cause global crisis because almost everything manufactured in china, instead calling him a "fool" you should thank him instead
Exactly right. Putin in Russia.
We chinese people don't want this too. But you should know XI JING PING is not elected. There is nothing we can do, the streets are full of survelliance camers with face recogntion capability. It's even dangerous to talk about this online. The police may put you in jail because of comments on online platform.
@@user-iv9hu1db7u be thankful about it, go check what happen in india during delta wave, both china and india have 1.4Billion population, if that virus not contained properly there will be hundred thousands people killed, in india alone it already kill 500.000 people
Same as Trudeau in Canada
When nation is moved by pride of few elites rather than practicality of majority, this is what happens. It could happen in any political system. in country with democracy, the govt doesn't hold all the controls, so there are still room to fight back. However, in political system where govt owns everything, this is what happens.
Pride, the most deadly of sins, it can't be beat, it can only beat itself.
If you want to succeed in life and win the game, you have to at the very least, learn to swallow your own pride.
People there started to eat grass and their new and media told people these are good for health they even held a contest of food in internet and the winner is someone posted a picture of half bun.
Their government’s are insanely careless of people’s life not their needs. They only care if they can hold the power
Australia didn't look much different during Covid lockdowns
Naw people are stupid and dont fight back anyways literally people have the opportunity to vote but there corrupted by the news its insane
that dude hacking with the machine massager on his thumb 😆
The whole world 🌎needs to know what's happening here !!! This is insanely 😈evil and awful and wrong and creepy 😳
I live in Shanghai (yes we can access CZcams with a VPN) the situation is giving us a mental and financial burden, It's incredibly difficult to get food, I'm one of the few lucky ones that can go out and going to the supermarket took me 5hrs due to insane long lines and inside just getting leftovers, no meat, veggies, eggs, my wife is the only one working because as a foreign spouse I don't have right to work, her business been forced to close for 2 months while rent and employee salaries must still be fully paid plus our own home bills, It's incredibly frustrating to the point my mental health is deteriorating

Can foreigners not work there at all? What's that all about? I taught English there about 4 years ago but heard there was a crackdown recently
I'm also living in Shanghai, its tough. I'm luckier than many but the issue with food and supplies is extremely difficult, its just mental. I haven't left my compound since beginning of March and cases are still being discovered somehow even though all 12 buildings in my compound are locked down. I really feel bad for so many people at the moment. Its tragic and theres no need for this level of lockdown. Its depressing for sure but I hope you and your family will be well and can make it through this. Best!
There's little rationality in the Chinese covid response.
💩🦇💩🐛🪱🦠is the solution to all problems
The 'massage gun' had me cackling but oh so genius at the same time, hope these people the best.
Simple math shows the problem. 26 million people, 11 thousand delivery persons means that each delivery person must make one delivery to 76 people a day once a month!
When a country is off balance, the consequences of corruption start to show. These types of governments arent very stable in times of crisis. The lack of wisdom is astounding
"Lack of wisdom" Lol, they know exactly what they're doing.
Say it as it is “ A communist regime”
Communism is good till u run out of taxpayers money
When people dont use any violence against government created Starvation and worsr now they are taking away children from parents which is the truth and proven in videos. That is the point people will use unlimited violence when their children are affected.
Too much obedience and trust in Government is always a bad idea. Chinese people proved it literally🙏🙏🙏
The problem is, as I just thought this over, that as individuals you are discouraged to make negative comments mostly by other individuals who don’t share the experience
They allowed food to rot by the wayside because they wouldn't let the trucks in to deliver it. Show that footage.
The most ridiculous thing is that this Omicron is literally like catching a cold. This is completely out of control.
It only is bc ure vaccinated
But yes this is ridiclous way of trying to keep it down

💖😘💖 LONG LIVE OUR CAPITALISM FOREVER. 💖😘💖
The screams of joy because they love their government. :)
If China starves out their seven million foreign workers, they may be swarmed with lawsuits and courts in other countries. They should at least get the foreign workers out with thebhelp of their Embassies in Shanghai.
Wouldnt be the first time the CCP starved people. See cultural revolution
they don't care about foreign workers
yeah nah, i live in shanghai, the US consulate flew out all their non essential workers on Thursday, with a lot of citizens being on that flight, and this is the main action by a consulate I have seen.
Even in this situation foreigners refuse to go back to their country. Gives you an idea how much they suffer in China. 🤣🤣
All the consulates are closed...I contacted the canadian consulate mid-week, and no one is at work, though they do answer emails...
It's pretty shocking how calm these reporters are talking about this
I’m surprised I don’t see media mention that symptomatic rate is only 1-2%!! Which shows the strategy is even more f up. And I’m in the middle of all this. Really crazy watching us on the global news and see the scale of the mess they’ve created. I’m not so kind and hardworking but yes indeed rescue us.
I got stuck in China during the Tian'anmen Square period. That government is off the hook!
Uhhh yes we know, that's why almost all western countries stopped all containment measurements, we don't even have to wear masks anymore
It's even crazy that many westerners praise the CCP for what they are doing.
The purpose is not containment of the virus, but a show of force and to reaffirm how people are worth absolute 0. There are many ways the people can do something, but they'd need to be UNITED and EMPATHETIC and not how the gov't wants them, ATOMIZED and SELFISH with a MECHANICAL THOUGHT.
there's hope. John 6:35. if you recite the verse over and over again it will feed you physically and spiritually. Anyone anywhere can do this.
The virus really isn’t as bad as people want you to believe. It’s all about controlling people. If you make them fearful they’re easier to control.
Totally agree. I know a lot of people over the age of seventy who have gotten sick & fully recovered. Didn't even need to be hospitalized. 💔
We should be alert about the virus... Not scared of it. Thats what medical professionals keep telling you...
The biggest reason for this is because someone loaned their brother a TON of money for their troubles and there isn't enough money to pay people who work government-funded jobs, which is practically everything. Keep us locked up for a bit and let us go whenever there's enough money to go around.

One was an elderly man in his own home, the ambulance that was in the neihgborhood to do covid tests refused to send him to the hospital during an attack. another was a nurse already IN the hospital, and yet no one helped her during her asthma attack which resulted in death. shanghai is beautiful and i love living here, but every single day is terrifying now

"Weibo didn't respond to our request of comments" this the best joke all day. Should have request comment directly from the government they probably respond 🤣🤣🤣
Request from government is what's going on last week. You are picking on the wrong flaws because you are behind in information
Weibo is the government’s tongue and ear. Every Chinese people know that. It’s just a dog, but it’s the only way to get to the owner.
I worry for all the infants and new mothers - needing formula, water, diapers etc. dehydration in an infant or baby can be fatal, very fast. Even if a mother is breastfeeding, if she is starving - her supply won’t last long. If she cannot get formula, what would happen?
This is what I was thinking. Parents with babies and kids, must be so heartbreaking :(
It's china, they will eat it up
Idk if this video tells you that mothers and infants are being separated and taken to different quarantine centers. Heartbreaking is an understatement
This is what happens when your brother goes to war against others.
And u think the so called Governments care .. what u are going through! Many suffering is going on .. and simple they don't care .. 😖🙏🤦
Best wishes to the people in Shanghai from the state of Kentucky! Hang in there guys!
My hometown is a small city in China, but it is also under the same policy lockdown. It's even worse there. A starving resident tapped her pot at her window, expressing anxiety and anger that she had no food to put in it, and police broke into her home and arrested her. A kind young volunteer who helped residents make some vegetable soup because she could go out during work was also arrested. The reason is that those foods are not necessities for people. Students are besieged in the school, whether they are infected or not, they infect each other, one by one falls ill, food and daily necessities are in short supply, sick students fall into coma, no one cares, girls who are menstruating have no hygiene products, Crying when they're covered in blood, like all apocalyptic zombie dramas. Yes, Shanghai is already the richest and most civilized city in China, so. . . We ordinary people are already hopeless and numb. Sorry we have set human civilization backwards.
Missing the videos of people jumping to their death because of starving. This painted a lot better picture than what is really going on there.

This is what happens when people trade their freedom for security, they receive neither.
and when did latin americans had any freedom?
@@ezioauditore5616 1864
Trade ? They never had freedom,
@@lorenzomagazzeni5425 Sure they did. Freedom is realitive. The people of China had more freedom prior to COVID.
That means Americans need to stop supporting back the blue bills or else it might come back and bite you.
This type of sudden lockdown is particularly problematic in china where people don't like to store foods but like to eat fresh food everyday. If it's in other countries particularly in western countries where people like to store foods in freezes will not have much problem. The Chinese just after a day of lockdown will go hungry.
@Danny Smith So true ,i like to walk to Wuhan market ...............
So heartbreaking and concerning...
Live as slaves or fight to be free. My heart goes out to the people of China, tragic to see this happening in the 21st century… May the Lord bring peaceful times!

There are also scenes of entire truckloads and even warehouses full of meat, fresh vegetables and fruit rotting, probably due to distribution and logistics incompetence.
And to add on top of it, the logistics failure is not resulted from any other thing but the restriction by the government itself. The ridiculousness is just beyond understanding.
There is no food shortage in China, WSJ reported China holds 60% of world's food the other day, and now situation suddenly changed dramatically?In my opinion, I think western media just always overreact everything happens in China, that is all.
Little know fact, being a business man, When Trump saw the virus coming. He had a meeting with the food distributor, the objective was to make SURE necessities were to be delivered (paramount) before any lockdown actions were put in place.
I was one of those corp production workers that worked through the pandemic to make sure it all didn't fall apart.
omg really?? that's even worse - they could be feeding all these hungry people and they are too disorganized?? I thought china was supposed to have the best technology and smartest engineers in the world
I’m sure these people could all be fed if they wanted, but there is a lot of politics being played. If someone’s is trying to make their political opponent look bad then this is the kind of result we will see; massive food spoilage while millions starve in one of the most advanced and productive cities on earth. This seems like a culture with many lives to sacrifice, cold hearted.
Meanwhile in big parts of Europe people are back to living mostly normal lives.. this is so sad :/
This was never about protecting civilization against a virus,this was always about power and control.
I feel worst for those of us that still feel like this is nothing more than incompetence.
Yes, if only this were just incompetence. It is not. They are doing exactly as they planned.
The screaming is horrific. The children hearing that must be terrified. That is trauma they will love with forever.

China needs to get rid of the zero Covid policy
So sad!!! Government interference has killed so many. Let the people be free!
Do you feel sad for not much government interference and millions of Covid death in US though? It’s not that simple, free has different definitions in different culture
@@jaymarx the person doesn't feel sad since 80% of the Covid deaths in the US were the elderly and most people in the U.S. don't care about the elderly.
@@jaymarx locking down people will not solve the issue of people getting ill. People who don't eat well and are stressed get sicker not better.
@@jaymarx Appreciated your perspective. Now, even our people think it's way too much which means it's way too much. The side effect of the zero tolerance is causing tragedies all over the place. After all, it is a city with 28M citizens and the government just has no way of taking care of the actual needs of the people.
I do feel sorry but I think the ultimate decision was made by people (or some people who decided to follow the guidelines and some don't), not the government in the US.
how many died in the US and Europe?
No shortage of food when you still have neighbors. Great leap forward 2.0.
I am in Shanghai currently. I feel almost everyone has experienced a mental crisis ever because we have been quarantined for over a month. One of the most important reasons why people are in hungry is that some government officials and related food supply companies make a fortune. So effective food supply companies such as JD cannot enter Shanghai. People have to pay a great deal of money to buy food. One of my friends from Canada has paid 20,000 yuan to buy food, and even some eggs are worth 2,000 yuan. It is very ironic. 20 million people have to suffer such mistreatment because of light omicron. Many people with positive symptoms have to be transferred to Fangchang hospital. But you know, it's rainy days in Shanghai in April. The temporarily built hospital was even destroyed, but they have no other places to go. Furthermore, we can't speak out of our VOICE! All social media channels have restrictions. It looks like citizens' voices are unimportant! Everything looks great and recovering???
I live in HangZhou near Shanghai. Even here things have gotten stricter because of Shanghai.
This video shows a lot of truth. This and worse is happening in Shanghai. All the bad stuff of course immediately gets taken down. Suicides have been posted but of course are immediately removed. I have friends in Shanghai that haven't received water for days. Food is a huge issue. There's still a lot to be shown, much darker than what this video shows.
I can't imagine the people who are literally dying in their own homes because of serious medical conditions. There is strict, and there is TOO strict. There is reasonable and there is unreasonable. Unfortunately the government doesn't care. They would rather let the people die. 0 cases and being able to say they handled the situation is more important than people's lives.
There were actually two people who passed through Shanghai and came into the city of HangZhou and that caused a panic. In a moments notice the entire mall that these two people entered was locked down and no one was let out. Everyone had to get tested.
I live in Hangzhou too. stocking food right now
I mean this is the government they love and support. I believe covid zero is also widely supported (until it happens to them right?).
@@MrClaudiuzz9 I'd have to say yes. Most people praise the government. Mostly every person I talk to starts with, "Oh the situation in America is bad. China is safe! China has done a good job!"
@@antoniogutierrez702 The situation in China is very worrying. Shanghai is 25M people, but what about the rest of the country of over 1B people. Persisting with covid-0 is insanity, but that's more about saving face than anything rational and based on science. The Chinese people may well have a different opinion of their government in a few months, and they will become increasingly vocal about it.
@@mathsunmasked56 It's all about saving face. You are 100% correct. At the expense of the people.
We also need to talk about the great suicide spike due to extreme quarentine
As long as you are not killed by COVID your death doesn't matter
And the pets of the patients being clubbed to death or shoved into study trash bags to suffocate.
CZcams is hiding the comments about such topics, no use discussing anything here.
The government which sent out the drones to tell the people not to resist , can take full credit for that.
There are 3 comments are missing in this thread despite having 6 total replies. Suppression is the best.
Shortage of food is nothing compared to people in urgent need of medical care, and there were already many instances of people died unable to be treated because they cannot find a hospital that can take them in.
The American cities don't have this level of torture. Americans are able to go shopping, to parks, and stores.
I read the Book "Hunger"...many yrs ago and realized that it WILL CONTROL you, starvation, make you do things you never thought possible.
At some point you realize you have nothing left to lose.
There's a Japanese AV where a woman's Yakuza captor held a woman for a week without food and only a bottle cap filled with water. By Day 8, he used the water bottle to manipulate her into... well... "doing things."
I wrote that story and sold it to an acquaintance who went on to produce it, but I didn't know it'll end up as a live AV. I was shooting for anime :(
Why do people have something to say about trump but not about the Chinese government?
The one who is the most affected by their arrogance and ineffectiveness is Chinese people, but unfortunately they don't have freedom of speech. Moreover, all tech companies have been censored by communist party in China and could be punished if they say something negative to government.

Food shortage is about to be a global problem. One third of wheat is grown in Russia and Ukraine. The last shipments are working their way down the supply chain. Starvation is going to sweep across the global south.
China's crops were a major failure. Covid seems like an excuse.
Why are they always getting sick over and over again?
You're painting a prettier picture than other news services.
And they didn't even show the images of people welding doors so people won't leave - even if there's a fire or you die.
Edgar Allen Poe wrote a story like that.
The flask of amontillado, or something.
As long as people can breathe, they need to pray and SING!!!
The Chinese government might not care if some of its citizens die of starvation or might gone crazy, its population is big enough that even death of a thousand doesn't affect its economy. It's terrifying to ponder if each of our government just think of us as expendables, specially on nations with huge population.
No body died from starving in China, WSJ reported China holds more than 60% of world's food the other day, as a Chinese, i found western media is so funny😂
On the bright side, they still get to order take out using their $1000 iPhone inside a 5 stars hotel.
For the nerds. Try use your detective mode to solve this with me.
"A leak in the air conditioner was the cause of the out break?" When someone is asymptomatic, they do not show any signs that the disease is present in their body. The CDC estimates that 35% of COVID-19 cases are asymptomatic. In asymptomatic cases, people don’t know they are infected. There is no way for others to know either.
Any good counter measures? I'm all ears.
Anyway
Notice all the cases reported in Shanghai (280,000) , but zero death? What do you think it's keeping them alive? Hint: Chinese vaccine.
Now compare to this.
The U.S. has surpassed 750,000 COVID-19 deaths, according to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University. Some of the counties with the highest death tolls are California's Los Angeles County, Arizona's Maricopa County, Illinois' Cook County, and Texas' Harris County.
The U.S. now leads the world with the most COVID-19 deaths, followed by Brazil with more than 600,000. Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 46 million Americans have been infected with the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently recommended that children from ages 5-11 can receive a low dosage of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
--NowThis News
And according to this US human rights advocate.
- 1 million cases a day.
- The testing line are so long, it reached the freeway.
- Democracy is hollowed
- Freedom to be homeless
- Demonize other countries for reporting and containing the virus (Spanish flu come to mind)

But if they have million Covid death like the US, it will not just effect their economy but shaking the legitimacy of their ruling, they clearly knows that, that’s why they try so hard to control the spread…

Question “How do I prepare for quarantine?” 280 million views
Question: “How do I think critically, and for myself?” ZERO views
I am Shanghainese, seeing my city going through chaos like this is heartbreaking... I am lucky that I have enough foodpiles at this moment. Here in Shanghai, majority people are questioning the sustainbility of government's Covid zero policy, we also tries to spread out the messages of people who needs emergency care as much as we can in hope to help them, but nothing has improved since March, everything is shut down, life is on pause... I loved this city so much growing up, its suffocating knowing that nothing we do will bring a change and nothing we can do. I feel so shameful to be a Chinese...
I used to live in Shanghai for 5 years and really love the city.. 5:02 my neighbor where I really loved… I am witnessing shanghainese developed website to share medicine to someone who urgently needs, helping foreigners, taking care of others pets, voicing up to make changes (i never saw such a scene like this in China ) , volunteering to be 团长 to supply food to their community. You guys are great, hope you stay strong. 加油
有你这样的同胞才丢脸，不要什么事情都怪罪中国不好好吗！不是上海人傲慢自大学国外躺平能有现在这么乱吗？听国家指挥战胜此病毒吧！别给国人丢脸了。外国人不明白事理，你个中国人还不明白吗？国家一直强调“清零”。

@@yunyun9201 it’s really the worst place to live right now… Im not sure I can stay strong for how much longer… but thank you for your kind words…
Stop questioning and start fighting
Don't know what to say. We were in lockdown for about 18 months on and off, I think. At least we were allowed to walk or travel 5kms to get groceries. Being stuck in a house or apartment with little food is a form of suffering. You might be "Covid safe" but end up sick from malnutrition and social isolation. There has to be a middle ground.
Omggg my heart breaks for them 😩 I wish I could help them
While everybody already live in 2022, Shanghai is still living in 2019
You mean 2020. If Shanghai was living like 2020 in 2019, there would be no COVID in the first place!
