China tests millions after coronavirus flare-ups in 3 cities
ABC6News ^ | 11/23/2020 | AP

China has resorted to its heavy, top-down approach each time new cases of local transmission are found — shutting down schools and hospitals, locking down residential communities and entire neighborhoods, and testing millions.

Tianjin authorities shut down a kindergarten and moved all the teachers, family and students to a centralized quarantine space. They also sealed the residential compound where the five cases were found.

A worker for UPS at Pudong airport said one of those who tested positive earlier in the month had visited her office. Since then, her company has asked employees to quarantine themselves in the office and were forbidden to leave for four days, unless they signed an agreement to quarantine themselves at home for two weeks, she said, declining to be named out of fear of retaliation. She said she had been sleeping at the office since Friday, but was able to leave Monday.

I have said from the beginning... there is no way China escapes from this, it will circle the globe and come right back.

This can’t be true. We were told for months and month by the MSM how China handled Covid so well.

Reading the article it is horrifying the extent they go to, to stop the spread. They still trap people in their housing compounds! And according to the article they do this all over a few cases.

I will say it again, what do they know that we don’t know? Why are they playing for ZERO? Zero isn’t going to protect your people long-term. If China is going to remain a global exporter etc., ZERO fails.

This might be a redundant question but why is the world not punishing China for the release of this virus?

Aussie media seem to like this...don’t think the same can be said about the public:

23 Nov: news.com.au: Qantas CEO Alan Joyce says proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be a condition of international air travel
Anti-vaxxers will be grounded under a new rule announced as a “non-negotiable condition” of international air travel, according to Qantas’ CEO.
by Samantha Maiden
Proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be a non-negotiable condition of international air travel, according to the Qantas CEO Alan Joyce.
Anti-vaxxers will be grounded in the brave new world, with Mr Joyce confirming vaccination will be a requirement to fly internationally.

Mr Joyce has repeatedly warned that international air travel won’t resume until there’s a vaccine available for staff and travellers, but on Monday night he went a step further, telling A Current Affair host Tracy Grimshaw that as soon as a vaccine becomes available it will be a condition of travel...

If anti-vaxxers want to try alternative airlines, Mr Joyce predicted they won’t be travelling far.
“I think that’s going to be a common thing talking to my colleagues in other airlines around the globe,’’ he said...

Why didn't they stop Hitler at Czechoslovakia? Cowardice.

That would cost money.

So, yes, cowardice.

There seems to be a lot happening in China, but much of it isn’t being truthfully reported outside of China. Which isn’t unusual.

But our media isn’t reporting either.

I believe this too.
Lockdowns only delay the inevitable.

Look, a good portion of China is north of the critical 37° North Latitude, where people between late all to early spring don't get enough natural sun exposure to get enough "natural" Vitamin D. This includes the capital Beijing, parts of Xinjiang Autonomous Region and all of northeastern China. That, plus, very close living conditions and decades of poor pulmonary health from coal-fired power plant pollutant exposure and way too much cigarette smoking, explains why the CCP is WAY under-reporting COVID-19 cases "officially."
