The Chinese regime sealed residents’ homes in Xi’an on Jan. 8, but didn’t arrange for a reliable food supply, residents say. After being locked down for almost three weeks, they are lacking in food and on the edge of mental breakdown.

The Chinese regime has claimed the COVID-19 outbreak in Xi’an has been under control since Jan. 5. However, the regime upgraded the control measures and Xi’an residents still can’t leave their homes even on Jan. 11.
“I had never been diagnosed with COVID-19. Why did they seal my door?” Cai Jiaying (pseudonym), a resident at Rongshang Compound, Changyanbao Community, Yanta district in Xi’an, told the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times on Jan. 9. “Our residential compound has been locked down for 21 days. … In the beginning [of the lockdown], I consoled myself. I was disappointed days later, and then felt hopeless and despair. This morning, I went crazy.”
Cai said that she and her husband had only bought a little food successfully in the past three weeks, and didn’t know when they could buy some more.
“I’m worried that we won’t have anything to eat soon. We don’t dare to fill our stomachs. We go to bed after a meal at 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. every afternoon. We sleep more to save food,” Cai said. She said that the family only had a small bowl of rice, 11 pounds of wheat flour, seven cups of instant noodles, one bamboo shoot, and a little bit of meat at home. “The food can feed us for at most one week.”
Other Xi’an residents told The Epoch Times similar stories in phone interviews.

Continued Lockdown
On Jan. 11, Xi’an authorities announced that nine communities in the city were downgraded to low-risk regions where people have few chances to contact COVID-19 patients, and 44 others still remained high-risk or medium-risk regions.
The regime didn’t mention how many communities there were in the city, nor details of the lockdown policies in different risk regions.
On Jan. 10, local authorities announced another standard to divide the city, called “Closed Zone,” “Controlled Zone,” and “Prevention Zone.” In general, residents in closed zones aren’t allowed to leave their homes no matter how healthy they are or how urgent their need to go out.
The regime said that zones could be downgraded if no resident in the zone was infected with the CCP virus or had contact with COVID-19 patients in the past 14 days, and all residents tested negative within 48 hours.

Livelihood in Xi’an
Being locked down at home or in a dorm, Xi’an residents are suffering.
“We don’t know how to obtain food [after the regime sealed our home’s door]. We only have a few cabbage leaves at home,” Xu Qianru (pseudonym), a resident at Changyanbao community in Yanta district told the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times on Jan. 9. “We kept on calling the residential compound’s management company, but nobody answered the phone.”
Xu’s apartment was sealed by the management company on the evening of Jan. 8. She learned from her neighbors that all apartments in the compound were sealed. “Several thousand families in our compound are sealed at home like us … Our lives are really difficult,” Xu added.
“We had eaten all our stock [in the past weeks during the lockdown], and we can’t buy anything. Do you [Xi’an officials] want the over ten thousand residents [in the compound] to die of starvation?” Yang Hai, a resident of Hengdacheng at Dazhai road, Yanta district, complained in a video posted on social media platforms on Jan. 8.
The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, is the virus that causes the disease COVID-19.
Yang shared photos of the residential compound, which showed that the regime locked the doors of the residential unit by using iron wires and sealed the apartment doors by using paper.
“Do you [officials] treat us, the people, like animals?” Yang criticized. “We can’t receive any materials [food] after the doors are sealed!”
College students in Xi’an have been locked down in dorms since late December last year, and aren’t allowed to leave the building, not to mention go home even though some of their homes are in the city.
“We have six ladies sharing one room … We stay in our twin-over-twin bunk beds for most of the time during the day,” Fu Hua (pseudonym) told the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times on Jan. 8. “We study different majors and have different class schedules. [Since the lockdown began,] we take online classes at the dorm, and we can’t avoid interfering with each other.”
Fu said that she felt frustrated about the lockdown. She would even prefer to be sent to a quarantine center for 14 days if the regime would allow her to go home after the quarantine.
I’m of the opinion that it was one of the most successful intelligence operations of all time. Whether the lab leak was intentional or not.
“No, that only tastes like chicken.”
Reading about all this stuff makes me want to go watch 12 Monkeys again. 😛
It was also a Proof of the Twelve Monkeys Theory.
It’s really hard to say. I do remember seeing general photos of Asian apartments’ insides and the two most prominent things I remember were a TV and a really nice floor stand fan besides of all the other normal accoutrements. I have idea about heating but I suspect that would be central steam-type.
My impression of what I do remember seeing the video(s) was something meant to impede ‘normal’ traffic, i.e., there were walkway windows that likely could be used, etc.
I never saw that flick so you’ll have to explain.
“ Isn’t there some way we can prevent this take over? ”
Pressure from the bottom up. Start with local democrats.
ROFL...I see what you did there.
Mengele; I couldn’t remember how to spell it :0)
This is the correct explanation. Communists never admit or publicize their failings unless there is an ulterior motive.
As of today, the OFFICIAL government-academic complex’ Johns Hopkins University reports 4,849 Covid deaths in China over two full years.
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/china
As of today, the OFFICIAL government-academic complex’ IMHE at the University of Washington says, “8,312 reported COVID-19 deaths based on Current projection scenario by May 1, 2022.”
https://covid19.healthdata.org/china?view=cumulative-deaths&tab=trend
As of today, the OFFICIAL government-academic complex’ Worldometer says, “4,636.”
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
All of the OFFICIAL data collection and statistics spouting "experts" report what can be calculated -- "official" Covid deaths worldwide -- by reported deaths divided by the world's population to tell us that the resultant percentage is a meager 0.068%.
That is justifying OFFICIAL reporting with such enormous anomalies in the data versus the news reporting -- as China shows well indeed -- one should assume the propaganda mill is running at full speed now.
Or is it more Chicom bullshit that’s part of their disinformation operation like last time?

This.
You can’t stop an airborne virus. This is all some weird covid fear-porn theater. For what purpose at this point i can’t imagine. After *two years*, Covid has been everywhere and most everyone has been exposed.
...or the district of criminals

I remember those same videos showing police distributing food to the locked-in citizens using a system of ropes, pulleys, and buckets.
Not this time.
What’s baffling me is that they’re starving to death because the doors are sealed with . . . paper.
Are the people there really that well-trained? They won’t bust through a paper barrier even when their lives depend on it?
Heck, skip the door and send somebody out the window. If there are thousands of families in that one compound, pool your resources and make ladders with whatever you’ve got. Treat those barriers the way you treat things like patents and copyrights!
I suspect it’s really not the fear of ‘broken paper’ being found out. It’s the fear of the very likely bullet(s) that will answer that infraction.
And if you are driving in winter be sure to have water in the car along with blankets, food, and a pot to pixx in. Remember the poor folks stuck on VA I-95 for 24 hours. Also mandatory speed limits on those overhead signs for severe driving conditions, like 30 or 40 mph.
It looks like the Chinese are really serious about not letting any infected citizens near the Olympics. Terrible loss of prestige. Of course some of the athletes will probably bring their own Covid to share. Tough luck China.
A few days ago there was a post at FR regarding 3 cities shut down, and the suggestion it was a hemorrhagic type fever. Some FReepers suggested it was a plot to spring another pandemic on the world, others suggested it was a typical outbreak of Hanta virus which happens there. Hanta also happens in the US, especially western states. Mouse bourne, don’t sweep out your summer cabins without wearing a good mask to avoid infection from mouse droppings dust.
In early March 2020, my son and I were discussing vitamins for him to take with him as he was deployed to the Middle East for a year. He told me that Youtube was removing videos about vitamin C and China. Since then I have seen a lot of other censoring about health news, especially Covid, and have been censored myself at least 6 times while trying to post scientific facts as a comment on an AOL article. I was accused of violating “community Standards” while really vile and insulting things were commented about Trump and Biden.
