Chinese cities tighten curbs against widening Covid-19 outbreaks
AsiaOne ^ | OCTOBER 26, 2022

Chinese cities from Wuhan in central China to Xining in the northwest are doubling down on Covid-19 curbs, sealing up buildings, locking down districts and throwing millions into distress in a scramble to halt widening outbreaks.

China on Thursday (Oct 27) reported a third straight day of more than 1,000 new Covid cases nationwide, a modest tally compared with the tens of thousands per day that sent Shanghai into a full-blown lockdown earlier this year but enough to trigger more curbs and restrictions across the country.

China's coronavirus case load has remained small by global standards, but its ultra-strict and disruptive containment measures this year against the highly transmissible Omicron variant have weighed heavily on the world's second-largest economy and rattled financial markets.

I just assume they are using this to crack down on the population in Communist China.

That little stunt we saw on video the other day, frogmarching Hu Jintao out of the meeting like that (for effect) indicates to me there is some tightening of the screws.

Hu Jintao wasn’t the only one being marched out of somewhere, I’ll wager.

Xi is kind of an idiot.

Not letting the virus fly is going to destabilize China and people who have had the virus and had mild symptoms and are now immune, are locked down for no reason.

Though no Dem has ever uttered the phrase “Natural Immunity”, most Dems realizeded this was happening and gave up on the lockdowns.

The Chinese Gas light media is better than our gaslight media, but not by much. When the naturally immune hit critical mass, they are going to come for heads.

“Can’t believe anything that comes from Communists , something else is happening there!”

They are tightening up their restrictions while most of the rest of the world is relaxing their controls/restrictions!

So your comment above is worthy of a rerun:

“Can’t believe anything that comes from Communists , something else is happening there!”
