“We Are Starving To Death”: Shanghai Residents Under Lockdown Shout At Visiting Vice Premier

When Sun Chunlan, a vice premier of the Chinese regime, visited Shanghai earlier this week, where tens of millions are under COVID-19 lockdown, she was greeted by residents shouting from their apartment windows: “There is no food left!” and “We are starving to death!”

(Please go to the site to view the video)

Sun was accompanied by a swarm of local officials, cameramen, several vans with black tinted windows, and police vehicles. Yet the streets were empty. The residents could only view the envoy from their own apartments. Some were brave enough to shout from their windows or balconies. Someone called out to the officials, “Can you arrange some vegetables to be sent over?”

The officials, however, as seen in a video posted by residents in Jiading district, had no reaction whatsoever as if they did not hear anything.

Sun Chunlan, former head of the United Front Work Department, was appointed vice premier in 2018. Out of the four vice premiers, she is the only female and the oldest one. Since the pandemic, she has been staging high profile visits to COVID-stricken cities. This was not the first time she was shouted at.

Shanghai ‘Must Win the Battle’

Amidst mass testing and draconian lockdowns, Sun went to Shanghai with a stern message from Beijing, “unswervingly adhere to the zero-COVID policy and win the battle against COVID as soon as possible!”

Since the pandemic broke out in 2020, Sun has assumed the unofficial title of “COVID messenger” delivering Beijing’s orders to cities around China.

She went to the northeastern province of Jilin in late March. In Jilin City, residents shouted “we have no veggies!” from apartment buildings.

In mid-December 2021, Sun visited Xi’an city, 12 million population, when it was in lockdown. Sun urged the municipal government to “quickly reach zero cases.” While in Xi’an Gaoxin district, Sun was greeted by residents calling loudly “I want to eat!”

Back in March 2020 when the COVID broke out in Wuhan, Sun went to Wuhan. The residents called out “Fake, fake, it is all fake!” during her visit.

Afterward, the Wuhan residential neighborhood suffered the consequences. The entire neighborhood was in complete lockdown, nobody was allowed to enter or exit.

Shanghai Lockdown Continues

Shanghai has been under lockdown since April 1. On April 4, Sun Chunlan ordered the municipal government to “achieve zero COVID in society at large (excluding quarantine hospitals) as soon as possible.”

According to recent online postings, the municipal government issued a notice saying the lockdown will continue until at least May 1. As for what will happen after May 1, the notice said, it will be decided on May 1 whether to open up or continue the lockdown.

Many neighborhoods in Shanghai are in a chaotic state. Some people can’t get treatment. There is a serious lack of food. Some elderlies died in senior facilities without family members around. Babies are separated from their parents because their COVID-19 test results are different.

Videos also show truckloads of food supplies stuck in the outskirt of the city unable to reach those in need. There are also rotten vegetables and other foods sitting on the sidewalk.

Moreover, at the makeshift quarantine sites, one can see boxes of food piled up in trash dumps.

Praying for a Supernatural miracle that frees the imprisoned Shanghai residents in their own homes. May the LORD be Living Water and the BREAD of life to these people.

This is Mao-era lunacy. Come up with a unrealistic goal, back it with a politcal slogan, and watch the masses die.

China really does not have current food shortages. They have accumulated significant reserves. This local shortage is a result of typical communist bureaucratic stupidity. Yet given the lunatic green assault on fossil fuels, real food shortages, overt famines, starvation and hunger wars are not unlikely. There is a shortage and marked price increase in natural gas and diesel fuel. Natural gas is the core ingredient of fertilizer. Diesel fuel is essential for farm production. Given the shortages and price increases food production is declining worldwide. If their is severe weather in either China or India, there will be severe famine.

Kerry, the Biden cabal and the globalist green lunatics in the EU and US are responsible for this disaster. It is almost certain that these overfed , privlidged elites won’t starve or even be held accountable for their perfidy.

The consequences of a political power struggle - Xi had replaced all local city officials deemed to be insufficiently loyal with his stooges, and the personnel changes were not well received. So he’s punishing the residents.

Like here, Covid is just a cover.

“We Are Starving To Death”: Shanghai Residents Under Lockdown Shout At Visiting Vice Premier

The vice-premier and other leaders of the country are probably thinking:

"We don't care. We have plenty of you, and a few million dying because of hunger or disease, is just a drop in the bucket in a country of 1.4 billion."

The Chinese leaders likely don't care, and that attitude is the legacy and policy of communists everywhere. That kind of leadership has killed many millions over the years, and the callousness is just another facet of that leadership.

California’s Central Valley. I once heard it could feed the entire world. Could be wrong but there’s a lack of water there thanks to the environmentalists.

This is not just in Shanghai, but all across China. The CCP is starving its people to comply with Xi’s infallible proclamation that China has a zero tolerance policy for covid - no exceptions.

To prove this true every one must be tested, and if positive, its off to the camps (huge open dorm for hundreds) or welding apartment doors shut or using razor wire in stairwells an motion detectors on residents doors.

Quotas must be met to satisfy the need to show big numbers, proving Xi’s infallibility, particularly since he’s up for reelection by the top elites shortly.

People climbing down their building walls in search of food or savaging in parks is common. But the Party has told the people that their donated food may have the virus on it so they are throwing it away.

Cats are being tested and killed en mass as they are seen as carriers. And likely wind up in some open air food stall.

People are not going to tolerate any more and are demanding freedom.
