Riots have broken out in Shanghai as starving residents begin to revolt against the Chinese Communist Party’s draconian “Zero Covid” lockdown more than three weeks in.
Disturbing videos emerging on social media show desperate scenes inside China’s largest city, which has been placed under increasingly harsh restrictions as Omicron cases continue to break daily records.
Crowds of residents were seen looting food parcels in one video posted to Weibo, while other clips showed furious mobs clashing with PPE-clad Covid prevention workers as they tried to break through barriers erected across the city.
One video captured the sounds of screaming from apartment balconies as people run out of food, while in another viral clip a man was filmed hurling abuse at an apparent government worker over the phone.

I just met an older couple today. They both had covid early on, and the husband (with dementia) had to be put in a nursing home type place to get “treated”.
Somehow the wife was able to get him out of there. He had a diaper on that looked like it hadn’t been changed in days. He hadn’t eaten for several days (in the car he asked if they could stop to eat - but no place was open!)
The following day some relative that didn’t know he was out called the nursing home to ask about him.
“Oh yes. Mr. Johnson is doing just fine, but we’re not sure when he’ll be well enough to go home.”
Pretty scary. It isn’t just the Chinese that are shoving the elderly into a warehouse and shutting the door.
A majority of the Chinese already have the government they deserve. If they overthrew the current socialist regime today, they'd vote in a new socialist regime tomorrow. They got their "free healthcare!", which amounts to 3 minutes doctor time after waiting 10 hours in the queue. There is little demand for freedom in China. Regime change is absolutely pointless. The outsider west calling for "democracy", which doesn't exist anywhere, is interpreted directly by the CCP as an outsider "regime change" attack.
The globalist elite are trying to lead us again into the valley of death, for slaughter. If you don't like the CCP, don't buy their communist impoverished workers junk. Have no sympathy for the Chinese people that don't try to leave. They have what they want.
No, but from the plot summary and the trailer, it’s nothing that hasn’t been done before.
That’s what happens when you outsource all your electronics to an enemy.
You can always eat the enforcers.
It’s not a ‘great’ movie, but better than many b-rated flicks I’ve seen over the years, and even some so-called “blockbusters” with big $$ behind them. IMHO, it ranks with The Day After.
I think it hits the nail on the head in almost all ways and worth the watch. Free on Prime. fwiw
“Does the Chinese government know something we don’t know?”
I keep wondering that, does the man-made virus or vaccine have some future mutation in it that will have higher death toll than current variants.
Can a man-made virus / vaccine be created to have predictable future mutations?
You do not lockdown and destroy your Country’s Economy for a virus that has less than 1% death rate unless there is something more not known to the general public.
