Officials in China’s capital of Beijing and its financial hub of Shanghai announced new CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus infections this weekend and locked down dozens more neighborhoods.
Meanwhile, the northern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Hebei also reported more COVID-19 cases on Jan. 24, as did southern China’s Guangdong Province and eastern China’s Jiangsu Province.
Seventy-two Chinese regions were designated as high- or medium-risk for virus spread by local governments on Jan. 24, which means residents in those areas aren’t allowed to leave their homes and no public transportation can operate.
Some locals also reported lockdowns in neighborhoods that weren’t noted by local governments, leading them to suspect that authorities were covering up outbreaks.
In many cases, authorities didn’t give people enough time to prepare, leading many people to not have enough food to eat, sick people not having access to medicine, and babies without sufficient formula to drink, according to social media posts.
Tongliao city in Jilin Province, for example, was locked down just three hours after authorities announced the decision on Jan. 18. On Jan. 22, local officials sealed the doors of about 360,000 residents of the city’s Dongchang district.
People from Dongchang district commented under the posts of state-run media People’s Daily and Xinhua on Chinese social media platform Weibo, pleading for food and necessary medicines.

Local authorities had already locked down five communities in Daxing on Jan. 19, adding 11 more communities and villages.
“They sealed our doors at 6 a.m. this morning and told us that all villagers cannot leave our homes,” a resident of Haizijiao village in Daxing surnamed Wu (pseudonym) told the Chinese-language Epoch Times in a phone interview on Jan. 23.
Wu added that all residents in Daxing are being ordered to take a COVID-19 test daily. She and her fellow villagers were tested three times in recent days.
SHANGHAI
Also on Jan. 24, the Shanghai city government designated the Guixi residential compound in Huangpu district a medium-risk region. As of press time, officials had announced four medium-risk sectors in the Huangpu and Baoshan districts.
However, Shanghai residents told the Chinese-language Epoch Times that more regions in the city than that have been locked down.
“They locked down the areas by Dahuakou and Lingshi roads in Baoshan district, close to the border to Putuo district, and Zhabei Park in Jing’an district,” Ms. He said on Jan. 23.
The medium-risk regions that authorities announced are located about 6 to 15 miles away from the areas Ms. He described. Officials haven’t announced any infections in the regions mentioned by Ms. He.
“It’s definitely that [authorities] diagnosed some residents with COVID-19 in our areas, but they didn’t announce it,” He said.
You can run from the virus but you can’t hide from it.
BUT BUT BUT!
Every country was doing great except the UsA because the bad orangeman.
Start welding them in their rooms again!/s
Gee, that’s a shame.
Any news released by China is propaganda.
Bkmk
Hong Kong is interesting. Yes, they are going on lockdown in a few areas right now but the number of deaths is a small percentage.
This could be due to a variety of factors.
Interestingly, they did go through a recent MMR vaccination program but so did Belgium and they are having a problem.
One theory is the MMR helps your body deal with the inflammatory/sepsis part of COVID. Just a theory at this point
Clearly this is not possible. They all wear masks all the time.
If things are as some suspect that Beijing intentionally released the virus, today it is paying the consequences
In China it’s not a lockdown, rather it’s a lock up.
It is against site policy to wish any unpleasantness to Presiden Xi due to his viral creation...
Is Fauci advising China on their Covid-19 response too? Or is it Andy Cuomo?
In order to take out Trump they released the worlds deadliest bio hazard on the world without making sure they had a antidote 1st. Hey what the hell lose a few million here no biggie. They assumed wrong. Way wrong!
Smoke cigarettes so the shite can’t get into your lungs
Works for me:-)
Yup, gotta keep the fear narrative going to keep the peasants under control.
Not enough of us are willing to take the vaccine.
Beijing On Jan. 24, 2021, Beijing’s city government announced that a resident from the Yunlifang community in Daxing district was diagnosed with COVID-19. This was the first announced diagnosis in Yunlifang. Authorities swiftly designated the Ronghui community in Daxing district as a high-risk region, while two villages in Shunyi district were designated as medium-risk.
One year ago on Jan 24, 2020:
After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown. Health officials in Chicago said a woman in her 60s had become the second U.S. patient diagnosed with the new virus; she’d returned from China in mid-January.
