Millions of people were confined to their homes in China Monday as the country tried to contain its largest coronavirus outbreak in months with mass testing and travel curbs.

Local governments in major cities including Beijing have now tested millions of residents, while cordoning off residential compounds and placing close contacts under quarantine....

...Beijing has blocked tourists from entering the capital during the peak summer holiday travel season.

Only "essential travellers" with negative nucleic acid tests will be allowed to enter...

BBC reports "All of Beijing's air, bus and travel links to areas with positive cases have been cut."

"The situation is still grim and complicated," the Zhuzhou government said.

now this is an interesting comment, so I looked deeper and the Global Times reports 12 active cases and 20 asymtomatic cases in Zhengzhow on Saturday:, in hospital staff: "New infections involved janitors, medical staff and inpatients" https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202108/1230248.shtml up from 16 initial cases: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202107/1230159.shtml

China's lyng about their numbers, but even if they aren't,,there may be possible supply chain issues again in affected provinces

They are using the same playbook they used when they released the virus. They are just providing cover so their puppets in the west can continue the lock down (destroying the economy of the west).

“so I looked deeper and the Global Times reports 12 active cases and 20 asymtomatic cases in Zhengzhow on Saturday”

So that is out of millions of people? Tourists get locked out so there is no independent verification of this misinformation propaganda.

right - out of millions - not exactly a ‘grim’ situation if it were true numbers.

Nanjing pop 9.3 mil was referred to as a few cases but was locked down tight (might still be) with 3 rounds of 100% tested over 2 weeks

China claims to have 1.6 billion vaccinations made, starting with military. But they may be shopping for some AZ vaccine. CNN is reporting breakthrough infections with Sinovac challenged by Delta, so again, might be some supply chain/and the old PPE availability issue again if Delta gets or has already gotten a running start in China.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/china-covid-outbreak-delta-variant-challenges-zero-infection-strategy-and-raises-questions-over-its-vaccine-efficacy/ar-AAMPAGY?ocid=msedgntp

“On July 22, two days after the Nanjing cluster was first detected, a health expert in the city said the “vast majority” of those infected there had been vaccinated, except for one person under 18 years old. Airport staff, along with medical workers and border control personnel, were among the first to be vaccinated in China.

Chinese authorities have not offered a fuller breakdown of how many subsequent cases were also vaccinated.

Several other countries that used Chinese vaccines have also reported infections among vaccinated people. In June, Indonesian officials said more than 350 medical workers in the country had contracted Covid-19 despite being inoculated with vaccines produced by Chinese company Sinovac Biotech.”

Human life has no inherent VALUE to COMMUNISTS unless those lives have value to the PARTY. If the CHICOMS had to sacrifice a million lives because it was in the best interests of the the PARTY, they would do so without thinking twice. That is something those who have a Christian/Judeo mindset find hard to believe but it is true and must always be understood when analyzing China’s actions.

I read somewhere that a lot of the supposed welding shut of doors, people dropping dead on the streets, etc. was theater staged to create panic. Nobody can get in there to see what´s actually going on and any news they release is a pack of lies designed to advance whatever narrative it is they want to project to the outside world.

Panic worked very well for them last time and in fact has resulted in virtual worldwide domination by the left and the installation of many Communist China friendly governments.

So why not do it again?

Delta is highly contagious but irrelevant if you are vaxxed. Not fun but not deadly.

It wasn’t a biological attack at all. It was a psyops campaign via social media and the MSM. All led by China. They chose a coronavirus because using another strain of Flu would not have carried the same fear weight for the masses. People have learned to live with the flu, so they used a common cold virus derivative.

I’ve seen countless videos taken in various cities in China via expats who live in China and hardly anyone has been wearing a mask since about a year ago . Based ! Don’t believe anything the western media reports .

They’re doing the same thing they did last time: they’ve locked down a few provinces, people are forbidden to travel in or out, and they’ve got the psy-ops campaign going again.

Did it to their own people. That’s one way to limit their population.

China has, and is, Terrified of SARS.

Sometimes they over react.

This is close the the time in 2019 when rumors started about “Something in Wuhan”.
