Reports: Coronavirus Panic-Buying Sweeps China As Locals Refuse To Believe Communist Party

Panic-buying has erupted across China amid fears of a food shortage due to the Wuhan coronavirus, reports stated on Thursday, indicating that Chinese citizens are ignoring the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) statements urging people not to stockpile food.

On Thursday, a resident of Ezhou, a city in Hubei Province, told the anti-communist publication Epoch Times that locals have been rushing to hoard rice for at least the past two days. According to the newspaper, social media reports indicate that residents are also stockpiling food in other cities in Hubei, such as Huanggang, Yichang, and Wuhan — the epicenter of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in China.

The panic-buying has defied the wishes of the CCP, which has tried to assure people that the food supply remains abundant. On March 31, Ezhou’s market regulation bureau released a statement in which it said that people should not panic-buy and that the city has plenty of rice and oil to supply all its residents for a year. The same day, Huanggang released a similar statement to its residents, dismissing information suggesting the city faced a food shortage as a rumor.

Despite the CCP’s attempts to pacify the public, citizens reportedly remain convinced of a food shortage in China. Reports of a leaked government document confirming the food shortage have circulated online as well, further fueling the panic-buying.

On March 28, a document labeled “classified secret” was allegedly issued by the Linxia Hui regional government, according to the U.S.-funded Radio Free Asia (RFA). RFA reported that it stated that municipal and county governments must “pull out all the stops” to secure supplies of beef, lamb, cooking oil, salt, and other basic necessities.

The Chinese government LIE? I am SHOCKED, just SHOCKED.
We can ONLY surmise about what's happening there as their media lies like a rug.

[Bayard]

Bet its getting worse and not better there.

[mass55th]

The Chi-Com virus is China’s Nanking Rape/Massacre of the rest of the world. They own it.

[Irenic]

Ah, the same as it is here.

[Pollard]

Hey, that’s my mask she’s wearing

[amorphous]

We here in the US, and the Chinese people, share a common enemy - the Chinese Communist Party!

[Billthedrill]

Doesn’t sound like the “All is well, get back to work now” message is being bought. The Chinese Communist Party was faced with the choice between taking the economic hit themselves or exporting it along with the virus so everybody does. Picking up some heavy dues to pay along the way.

[Biggirl]

Well frankly I am not surprised there is a growing distrust towards the CCP by the people themselves. Not surprised at all.

[untenured]

TBH, that photo doesn’t look like “panic buying,” maybe Breitbart used s stock photo.

[Biggirl]

This is why I call it the Wuhan virus. The CCP broke it they own it.

[cloudmountain]

Well frankly I am not surprised there is a growing distrust towards the CCP by the people themselves. Not surprised at all.

You're not surprised because of all the previous lies they've told.
The latest is that the USA perpetrated the virus on China.

If the Chinese government reacted like Pinocchio their government nose would reach the moon.

[prophetic]

A Commie gotta do what a Commie gotta do.

[CatOwner]

A large number of Chinese citizens are likely to disappear for unknown reasons.

Mayb CCP needs to disappear a few more, so they won’t be afraid.

[dfwgator]

We here in the US, and the Chinese people, share a common enemy - the Chinese Communist Party!

We also have to deal with our Democratic Party.

[dfwgator]

China decided that if they got it, then they’re going to give it to the rest of the world.

China Lied, People died, Never Forget, this Decade's 9-11

No, not this time, bring MAGA onto a wartime footing,

call out the ChinaBots and the purveyors of lies and hatred

亞洲病夫 (Sick Man of Asia)
Chinese are sensitive about the subject...

The Chinese need to openly and transparently take full ownership of this situation. They need to make full reparations for the suffering they caused, and change their culture, all of it, into a modern civilization. Or they can crawl back into their hole and stew in their own filth, because Western societies are now fully aware of the dangerousness of their duplicity, filth, and decay.

Cancel all debt toward China, confiscate all property bought in the Western Economies, refuse to do commerce, Or they can crawl back into their hole and stew in their own filth, because Western societies are now fully aware of the dangerousness of their duplicity, filth, and decay

The ChinaBots are out in force, they tolerate poorly mockery, and are convinced of the superiority of the Middle Kingdom, well, they can just kiss my ass

I work in a hospital and daily face COVID, one in ICU 20 yds from here, it’s a little... personal
