The largest metropolis in northern China’s Hebei Province barred its 11 million residents from leaving city confines on Jan. 7 in an effort to curb the spread of the CCP virus which causes COVID-19.
Locals in a nearby city said in interviews with The Epoch Times that they were under lockdown, though authorities did not publicly announce the decision.
Hebei is the province that surrounds China’s capital of Beijing. Many migrant workers in Beijing come from Hebei. Beijing’s food and other critical supplies are also mostly sourced from the province.
Shijiazhuang is the capital of Hebei.
On Thursday evening, the city’s vice mayor Meng Xianghong announced that all residents and vehicles will not be permitted to leave the city. Residents and vehicles of Gaocheng district—designated by authorities as a “high-risk” region for virus spread and home to 790,100—were further restricted and not allowed to leave the borders of their home district.
The day prior, the city government had announced that a full lockdown would begin on Thursday, but still allowed people to leave by plane, train, and private cars if they presented a negative nucleic acid test result that was issued within the past 72 hours.
The Hebei Health Commission announced that 120 people were infected with the CCP virus on Wednesday.
Chinese authorities have announced few domestic infections since late March 2020, despite local citizens reporting severe outbreaks in different cities and regions throughout the past year. The majority of new infections publicized in recent days came from Hebei Province.
In turn, most of the reported Hebei cases came from Shijiazhuang.
Some residents told The Epoch Times that they were locked down at home since Jan. 2.
“This disease is spreading very quickly,” said Lin Guo (pseudonym), a villager in Xiaoguozhuang of Gaocheng district.

Gotta keep the Western World terrified, dontcha know?
But the Libs said China had solved their issue with the lock downs, therefore we should follow...........
There must be bodies everywhere.
How is that possible?! (Assuming it’s true)
Same with the California lockdowns.
I bring this up because the Virginia Soviet Socialist Commonwealth went onto a new lock down several weeks ago--and the case rates are still rising. But we will still #FollowTheScience.
They just repeated, step by step, what they did last year. Until they make something that kills us all. Stay at home wear your mask, and keep buying shit from China.
You Chinese mo*%^$@#@s sure know how to screw things up.
Thanks a lot you jerks.
Sorry - that’s about as diplomatic and polished as I can be towards them......
Muzzle up, peasants!
We don’t want you gathering anywhere to discuss how the governed no longer consent; going door to door with recall peitions; or holding rallies....unless you are BLM!

but, how can this be...? the Orientals, thyy always wear masks, they know how to contain a virus when it hits, they’re not worrying about stupid things like liberties and freedoms like lamebrain Americans...
I’m sure some of the mask lovers on this website can explain it to me...
Karma is a bitch, China. Too bad about your Hebei Province. More to come no doubt.
Masks don’t work, they’re for idiots! PROVE ME WRONG!!
‘PROVE ME WRONG!!’
don’t know about that, but it looks like your sarcasm meter needs tuning...
I do not believe that the Chinese health authorities have the ability to collect meaningful data and have no ability whatsoever to act on what they do have. The complex reporting infrastructure is simply not in place
BTW....... NTD has a daily 20 minute video that presents excellent China news. NTD is I believe an arm of Epoch Times.
