The strict lockdown measurement is insane if you watch from the video. Their authorities are loosing their mind, driver being lock and forbidden to leave his truck for quarantine purpose. The driver treatment is worst than a criminal. A modern city that supposed have plenty of food supply, suddenly become upsidedown city. Conclusion from the SH lockdown, the authority human being is more fearful than the virus itself.
You let them go and the virus can spread all over the country, shutting down industry and distrupting industrial chains, of a country where manufacturing makes up for 70% of its GDP. For comparison, first world countries that chose to live with COVID, such is the US has about 20% GDP made up of manufacturing. So no, they don’t care even if their entire production got paralyzed, but it is fatal for China and the rest of the world, since China makes everything.
What do you expect from an hierarchal authoritarian government? China's population is aging rapidly anyway, including majority of high ranking officials.. think
Crisis may be an understatement at this point. I've had nightmares about this for two nights in a row. I used to live two hours from Shanghai and have been to that city numerous times. This is incomprehensible to me. I feel so anxious and afraid for these residents and wonder if anyone I have known personally is among those locked inside or being forced into a quarantine centre. I live in Germany now. In November 2020, the gov't announced a hard lockdown that was only supposed to last two weeks. Instead, it lasted 6 months. Then in September 2021, the gov't became a bit heavy-handed about vaccine passes. Now they've relaxed this as well. But at no point during their harshest restrictions did they stop people from going to the supermarket or to restaurants to order takeaway. They certainly never forced anyone to stay indoors. I think the state of Victoria (Australia) imposed a strict lockdown similar to Shanghai's, and this moved dangerously close to violating human rights. But from my understanding, nobody in Victoria was denied medical care/treatment. And those who were locked down were still able to get their food and medicine delivered without too much disruption, to my knowledge at least. The behaviour of the gov't in Shanghai right now is utterly reprehensible.
Aussie here from Vic, our premier did aim from 0 elimination and was successful for more than half a year until Omicron hit our shores. Our other states except NSW was against it because it's a Liberal state. (Money over people). It's not violating human rights, our death rates are one of the lowest in the world. When hospitals denies medical treatments it means they are overwhelmed and it did happen here. Idiots who did not follow Covid safety protocols were killing people indirectly, they take up the hospital beds so other people died for their selfishness. This happened in the US too, most people were told to go home or was told to wait at home and some do die from serious chronic conditions or accidents. China's safety protocol may seem harsh but it's the only country putting their elderly, sick or young people as priority. As an immune compromised person, I can say this put people like me at ease and it also tells me that I matter.
That is how communist country works. Few people decides for the country. After 2 years of covid that originated from China, they still haven't learned a thing.
@@COCO-bl4ig you have to see the population of China. It's very different than Australia. It would be very tough for dense communities especially housing in cities comprised majority of apartments. Food shortage, medical shortage, accessibility difficulties
@@johnong2655 Well said. Can't really compare the two that much as I was lucky to have came back to Vic right as covid happened and boy the lockdown here in AUS is much better as government actually gives you money to support yourself where as in Shanghai you're struggling to even get food at times and even two of my ex girlfriends suffering from the lockdown say at times they'll have to save up food and go to bed slightly hungry...
The Philippines underwent lockdown for 2 years, every time there are surges in cases. But we overcome it, lockdown in Shanghai is completely wrong. They should allow at least 1 member of the family to go out and buy essential goods.
The Philippines was on lockdown for 2 years while Shanghai has been normal for almost 2 years. A month of strict lockdown is better than endless restrictions and lockdowns.
They have been having semi lockdowns 2 to 3 weeks before the full lockdown, so they have time to prepare buying as much food as possible to prepare. So even though now they can't go out, but at least they have vegetables, rice, meat, canned food, whatever they need.
The people who can starve to death are those who are ignorant of the needs to buy and prepare vegetables, rice, canned food, etc for the future if there's any lockdowns again.
Then tell any other government to handle this, if the USA had the same amount of people as China, then at least 4 million people will die (statistically not counting old dependency ratio).. I am from Shanghai, I am glad I never lived in the USA. I don’t take everything for granted.

My country also implemented zero Covid policy in 2020. It was hard but doable. However when Delta came in 2021 and then Omicron in 2022, it's almost impossible to achieve zero Covid without some extreme restrictions. With vaccination and better treatment, we then slowly accepted the fact that Covid will stay.

I can never understand how elective surgeries and cyclical treatments such as dialysis pale in importance to a glorified flu. Cumulative delays can be disastrous.
Saw a video of a health worker using the same swab on two different people. Looks like they ran low on swabs and someone gave the order to just reuse the swabs. They are more concerned with enforcing the regulation than the lives of regular people.
changing elected officials positions to lifetime term is like voluntarily signing up for communism. They don't have incentives to do better nor improve.

COVID is not an animate object that CANNOT shut down Shanghai as the headline reads. Paranoid CCP bureaucratic tyrants shut down Shanghai. Shanghai is a World city that the rest of us relate to more closely than any other part of China, except maybe Hong Kong. We see their despotism more clearly as a result of our familiarity.
Some delivery guys were cought to spread the virus on puspose. Because the fee are so high and they made a lot of money, some of them don't want the lockdown to end. There are some defects in the whole process, nobody realized until 2 weeks later. That was horrible.
Community can have group purchasing. There was one case caught on camera: a community bought 50 KFC take aways, and 50 family tested positive after that. After news came out, someone release a video that he shotted: the delivery guy deliberately open each take away and touch the food with his hand. And this guy was later test positive. Every delivery guy should be tested in principle, but some people managed to escape that. Government didn't realized the flaws until citizens reported such cases.
Pray that these people will be pushed so far to the ledge that at last they will rise up and cease to be sheep, living or dying by the will of the CCP. Pray that the news of Shanghai will be heard across the nation and that it will unite the tremendous population behind a better vision for their country.
Day 15 of lockdown here in Shanghai, the main issue is the uncertainty of the current strategy, tooo strict for the actual cases (most asyntomatic ones) of a new variant with a very little death rate %(almost null) .. I guess they r changing that strategy soon.. should..
yeah I live in Shanghai too. I haven't been out of my compound for 35 days. completely agree with the uncertainty of the strategy. Sh gov literally got no clue what they're doing and they're basically changing the strategy every few days until they find one that works. Plus it seems like the government is caring more about asymptomatic people who are completely fine over people who require medical attention in other areas, which is simply ridiculous. Hopefully it ends soon.

@@tedzehnder961 More then one million death in US , this means people to politicians are even cheaper. Applying same ratio , there will be five millions going to die in China , if out of control.
It reports 80% of population fully vaxxed, 50% of people boosted. However, just half of those 80 and above are not fully vaxxed. This could result in a similar situation as Hong Kong. Additionally, their vaccines are known to have lower efficacy.
They don`t buy foreign vaccine because they are too cheap and stubborn to do that.It is better to disrupt the lives of the people than spend CCP money on them.
The timeline 3:30mins in this video is a resting site for volunteers not a site for quarantine facilities, some information reported by SCMP is not true at all.
The people of Shanghai were starving, screaming in despair in their apartments. The Chinese government holds people like prisoners in the Zero COVID campaign. Shanghai is completely paralyzed. companies collapse. People have no hope when money can't buy food
As a shanghainese person, no there’s no starving.. but you are indeed trapped. You can order food, but the number of people overwhelmed the delivery apps.. that’s pretty much it.. but you are saying this not because you care about us shanghainese people. It’s because you are anti government, you support those same idiots not wearing masks, and I as a shanghainese person denounce your claims.
Plus, statistically for covid 500k positives and 4K deaths Is not even bad? less than 1 percent of Chinese people die to covid because of the treatments available. If u really want to argue; Do it with statistics
If their situation is so bad as being portrayed, they would start following what India did last year -- To beg for oxygen tanks donations worldwide and to mass cremate openly in public.
Feel bad for your brain Vaccines doesn't prevent covid,it only increases resistant to symptoms. So cases doesn't really prove much,only death rates will
The more embarrassed the government feels about how they handled this, the more they will gaslight and blame the citizens. It's very abusive. It's called saving face.
We in Vietnam which has the same politic system with China had experienced exactly the same, First we were very successful, one of the world best defender against covid. in 2020 covid rages on in the Western world but life is normal with near zero covid in VIetnam. That all changed in 2021, only Vietnam had its worser than China today because at that time we were not vaccinated yet. We had to lock down our main city for a month due to low vaccination rate but no where as strict as China. We paid the price in total death from one of the lowest in the world to currently within top 20 countries with the most death(40k). But we emegered from it quite well I would have to say, due to the fact that we knew when to abandon zero-covid policy.
Because the proud with their sinovac sinopham which use inactivated original virus. Sinovac sinopham are uselesx against mutation variants such as delta omicron
It is very difficult to achieve zero COVID. There must be a balance between life and economy. People need to work to put food on the table. Implement strict SOP while battling with COVID.
it's not about getting zero covid, that's impossible. It's about control over the people. Covid didn't do this to the people, their communist government did.
@@bobingalls4643 , my country also the same. We were lockdown for almost 2 months, and not once. Only 1 person of each household was allowed to buy food and groceries. But we didn't fight the authorities like China people.
I think they have taken the lockdown into a wrong directions, first of all they should depoly their armies of soldiers to divide into sections which supplies food , medications (essential for elderly with other illness) ,divide asymptomatic and symptomatic into 2 sections with a swift time frame of 7 days,those with severe respiratory should be fully isolated in ICU for a period of at least 14 days. Ambulances and medical staffs from other states should be called in as a standby for COVID admission. A temporary make shift should be set up in a middle school for children suspected of COVID. I hope they will get through this.🙏
And that's why my friends democracy is needed. No matter how glittery a auhoritarian or a dictatorship looks, the essence and foundation of democracy reigns supreme
"Democracy's" plan is basically no plan as far as handling Covid-19 goes. 🤷♂️ When everyone has their own idea of how to handle a situation that's where democracy fail.
democracy is imperfect but it is always better than communism which is guaranteed to keep a nation poor and lower tier second or third world. China will never escape its second world status until it adopts democracy
instead of playing video games (we even see them here), those guys should PROTEST. Such deportation from your appartment building wouldn't fly here in Europe. No freaking way would people here let be treated like that. I hope that the Chinese people finally rise up. This is inhumane and they're being publicly mocked and ridiculed.
Nah those that are being forced into those quarantine facilities are the lucky ones. They get treatment, and are being given basic essentials that the people locked down at home aren't getting. Funny that covid free people are suffering more than those with a positive case of the disease
Children are being separated from parents & pets are being beaten to death. Don't forget -- this is South China News, look elsewhere for what they won't show you. This is propaganda -- by the Chinese government. What is really taking place is insane because the people have had enough of the BS
I think the Chinese govt should study different approach used by other nations in fighting Omicron. Omicron although highly transmissible is not as deadly as Delta. However, we can assume also that maybe there’s a fear among Chinese epidemiologists that a country of billion people infected with Omicron may result to another variant. Thus they put this draconian measures into place to be better safe than sorry
In New Zealand we conducted the most comprehensive lockdown for 3 months, we allowed only the most necessary work to be carried out (of course with regulation). However we did always allow people to go to the supermarket (with regulation). We generally accepted the lockdown, although the advent of Omicron no longer required a zero policy.
This is what ive been saying. The purpose is to bring down the global supply chain. Also i believe this is a test to see how ppl react under starvation while under a technocratic dictatorship
Bear with them. They realized after Trump tariffs that no country can replace China manufacturing capability. So their pain will also be the pain of the rest of the world
Superb report. I repeat my comments that your newspaper should set up a TV channel because your news is respected and trusted. You can be the Al Jazeera of Asia. Please consider. Thank you.

How does throwing people into tight quarters with no hygiene help virally fight sicknesses ... this is about something else ....
Because the virus cannot spread when you are quarantined
COVID is not an animate object that CANNOT shut down Shanghai as the headline reads. Paranoid CCP bureaucratic tyrants shut down Shanghai. Shanghai is a World city that the rest of us relate to more closely than any other part of China, except maybe Hong Kong. We see their despotism more clearly as a result of our familiarity.
Some delivery guys were cought to spread the virus on puspose. Because the fee are so high and they made a lot of money, some of them don't want the lockdown to end. There are some defects in the whole process, nobody realized until 2 weeks later. That was horrible.

It was home isolation that allowed the virus to spread
That makes no sense literally... it’s not a few delivery workers who are going to make an epidemic last longer with that behaviour
@@jaxlone997 They need to require delivery people to get covid test if this is true
Community can have group purchasing. There was one case caught on camera: a community bought 50 KFC take aways, and 50 family tested positive after that. After news came out, someone release a video that he shotted: the delivery guy deliberately open each take away and touch the food with his hand. And this guy was later test positive. Every delivery guy should be tested in principle, but some people managed to escape that. Government didn't realized the flaws until citizens reported such cases.
*One person said, “I feel like I’m in prison”. Pray for these people. Fighting*
CCP should be held accountable for crimes against humanity
Pray for these people, they are starving.
Pray that these people will be pushed so far to the ledge that at last they will rise up and cease to be sheep, living or dying by the will of the CCP. Pray that the news of Shanghai will be heard across the nation and that it will unite the tremendous population behind a better vision for their country.

there I fixed the title for you.
"How Chinese Government forced every citizen in shanghai to be quarantine to stop the mess they did"
finally virus is backed to the Home. 😂😂😂
thanks, had the same idea!
Day 15 of lockdown here in Shanghai, the main issue is the uncertainty of the current strategy, tooo strict for the actual cases
(most asyntomatic ones) of a new variant with a very little death rate %(almost null) .. I guess they r changing that strategy soon.. should..
@@mr.metallic5310 yep.. well is not me leading tho
Well.... 90% of Chinese are in favor of xi jingping.... so.... f**k them.
@@LaVidaenChina are you guys angry at beijing with this restrictions?
Hope they know what they are doing, and what they are going to do.
yeah I live in Shanghai too. I haven't been out of my compound for 35 days. completely agree with the uncertainty of the strategy. Sh gov literally got no clue what they're doing and they're basically changing the strategy every few days until they find one that works. Plus it seems like the government is caring more about asymptomatic people who are completely fine over people who require medical attention in other areas, which is simply ridiculous. Hopefully it ends soon.
Great report. But it needs audio mixing. The levels are up and down.
How the government shut down shanghai, covid did nothing.
Shanghai Screams: AAAHHHHAAAAAA HELP!!!
Rest of the world: You all still on this? We Moved on.
The subject is incorrect!
It's "China government" to shutting down the city, not the Covid.
For such an infectious disease like covid, zero covid is not a feasible solution. Getting vaccination and treatment accessible is the right path
The title of the video should be “How the Chinese Communist government shut down Shanghai”
There was never a mention of vaccination and vaccines. What role did it play?
Still playing COVID theater?
I can't, no, not even a single...I can't express my thoughts on this, this is just plain sad, Wish the best for the citizens.
This movie never ending
Why is this only happening in Shanghai? Why no other part🧐
Population ctrl?
Im an NYU Shanghai student and we have been confined to our dorm building for more than a month now. The school has no idea when we will be able to leave
this could last at least 10 years to return to normal lives
Why not for me? I had covid 3 times I don't really care anymore.
@@rockmetalband i also dont care anymore, really flared up wearing mask outside
Haha... 10 years from baby to young boy or girl. Where is the logic?
You know nothing about China speed 😅
time is bad, but its not worst
Just approve the use of existing mRNA vaccines while still working on your home-grown mRNA. You are not going to lose your national identity or pride.
You don't even need vaccines I had covid like 3 times only some people who went on the hospital need vaccines
They are too cheap to pay for foreign medicine and people to them are cheaper still.
@@tedzehnder961 More then one million death in US , this means people to politicians are even cheaper. Applying same ratio , there will be five millions going to die in China , if out of control.
Shanghai had mRNA vaccines. The only city which imported it but doesn't seem to have much positive effect.
Political leaders all over the world is crimal of humanity
Situation in Shanghai seems out of control even after 2 weeks of lockdown. I hope they will overcome this like Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
Hong Kong didn't overcome it, they let nature took its course.
@@bigship1758 However, covid positive rate trend in HK has reduced. It's impossible. They should live with covid. 😶
Hong Kong is no longer embracing Zero Covid....
Even Taiwan is already in preparation phase for living with Covid.
Worse viruses out there apposed to covid. More to it china's cruel , acting a bit like North Korea.
More to it.....
Shenzhen has overcome this and Hong Kong decided to live with virus. The first 2 weeks was a mess for Shanghai.
The government also killed animals and pets. Such tragedy
5:03 The driver : do you think I couldn't get out through my window?
How are the vaccination rate there? Are they still not in the booster phase?
It reports 80% of population fully vaxxed, 50% of people boosted. However, just half of those 80 and above are not fully vaxxed. This could result in a similar situation as Hong Kong. Additionally, their vaccines are known to have lower efficacy.
They don`t buy foreign vaccine because they are too cheap and stubborn to do that.It is better to disrupt the lives of the people than spend CCP money on them.

The timeline 3:30mins in this video is a resting site for volunteers not a site for quarantine facilities, some information reported by SCMP is not true at all.
The people of Shanghai were starving, screaming in despair in their apartments. The Chinese government holds people like prisoners in the Zero COVID campaign. Shanghai is completely paralyzed. companies collapse. People have no hope when money can't buy food
@Arabic Reja A policy of exterminating the people of the Xi Government
This video should be re-titled as 'How Shanghai Shut Down Covid'. When people are too hungry to care what is really going on .....
As a shanghainese person, no there’s no starving.. but you are indeed trapped. You can order food, but the number of people overwhelmed the delivery apps.. that’s pretty much it.. but you are saying this not because you care about us shanghainese people. It’s because you are anti government, you support those same idiots not wearing masks, and I as a shanghainese person denounce your claims.
If the USA had the same amount of citizens, they would have lost 3 million lives.. I’m sure there were no 3 million lives lost in China?
Plus, statistically for covid 500k positives and 4K deaths Is not even bad? less than 1 percent of Chinese people die to covid because of the treatments available. If u really want to argue; Do it with statistics
the truth is you will catch disease on those quarantine facilities
If their situation is so bad as being portrayed, they would start following what India did last year -- To beg for oxygen tanks donations worldwide and to mass cremate openly in public.
Maybe this is governments way of getting rid of people
I bet, CCP has buried Dr. Zhang WenHong politically. Shanghai an Expo 2010 pavilions showcase, as of now, truly a mess.
And this is the model for the whole world.
Stay strong Shanghai. We are praying for your fastest recovery. This too shall pass. Love from Cebu, Philippines 💖💖💖💖

Pcr tests can not do diagnosis.
Does it mean that mass vaccination or the vaccine is not effective to prevent such situation?
My friends who even had boosters caught the omicron variant which is a weaker variant, and they are breathing hardly... Im unvaccinated
Feel bad for your brain
Vaccines doesn't prevent covid,it only increases resistant to symptoms. So cases doesn't really prove much,only death rates will
I had covid 3 times, and I am unvaccinated
I I haven't been sick in 4 yrs and I will never take their toxic "vaccine"

It had started and will end in china .
Lockdown aside, Shanghai is such a beautiful metropolis
Extend help ;
- package food
- water
- basic medical
This is not about covid, it's about control.
The more embarrassed the government feels about how they handled this, the more they will gaslight and blame the citizens. It's very abusive. It's called saving face.
Patut la Shopee extend delivery date barang yang dari China.. 😔
I getbthe feeling alot of people will be leaving after the country after this. My guess is US and Canada.
Stay TF where you are…we don’t need this BS here.
Why are their people still pledge loyalty to such govt?
We in Vietnam which has the same politic system with China had experienced exactly the same, First we were very successful, one of the world best defender against covid. in 2020 covid rages on in the Western world but life is normal with near zero covid in VIetnam.
That all changed in 2021, only Vietnam had its worser than China today because at that time we were not vaccinated yet. We had to lock down our main city for a month due to low vaccination rate but no where as strict as China.
We paid the price in total death from one of the lowest in the world to currently within top 20 countries with the most death(40k). But we emegered from it quite well I would have to say, due to the fact that we knew when to abandon zero-covid policy.
explained everything thank you.
what the use of vaccine if this happened ?
Because the proud with their sinovac sinopham which use inactivated original virus. Sinovac sinopham are uselesx against mutation variants such as delta omicron
th-cam.com/video/rkVRbSZOh4M/w-d-xo.html it's the wrong translation. People are say "发物资", it means send supplies/materials , not "let me out"
It is very difficult to achieve zero COVID. There must be a balance between life and economy. People need to work to put food on the table. Implement strict SOP while battling with COVID.
it's not about getting zero covid, that's impossible. It's about control over the people. Covid didn't do this to the people, their communist government did.
@@bobingalls4643 , my country also the same. We were lockdown for almost 2 months, and not once. Only 1 person of each household was allowed to buy food and groceries. But we didn't fight the authorities like China people.
Smutné, traumatický zážitek pro děti i pro rodiče.
I think they have taken the lockdown into a wrong directions, first of all they should depoly their armies of soldiers to divide into sections which supplies food , medications (essential for elderly with other illness) ,divide asymptomatic and symptomatic into 2 sections with a swift time frame of 7 days,those with severe respiratory should be fully isolated in ICU for a period of at least 14 days. Ambulances and medical staffs from other states should be called in as a standby for COVID admission. A temporary make shift should be set up in a middle school for children suspected of COVID. I hope they will get through this.🙏
*How CCP shut down Shanghai
And that's why my friends democracy is needed. No matter how glittery a auhoritarian or a dictatorship looks, the essence and foundation of democracy reigns supreme
If you managed to put politics and covid measures together you might as well make a sour chocolate bar
You sure you have democracy? CASTE system? lol
"Democracy's" plan is basically no plan as far as handling Covid-19 goes. 🤷♂️ When everyone has their own idea of how to handle a situation that's where democracy fail.
democracy is imperfect but it is always better than communism which is guaranteed to keep a nation poor and lower tier second or third world. China will never escape its second world status until it adopts democracy
@@supgizmo5021 Sorry, only your democracy has the CASTE system. Fake democracy.
instead of playing video games (we even see them here), those guys should PROTEST. Such deportation from your appartment building wouldn't fly here in Europe. No freaking way would people here let be treated like that. I hope that the Chinese people finally rise up. This is inhumane and they're being publicly mocked and ridiculed.
Nah those that are being forced into those quarantine facilities are the lucky ones. They get treatment, and are being given basic essentials that the people locked down at home aren't getting. Funny that covid free people are suffering more than those with a positive case of the disease
Over reacting too much is nightmares no medical treatment. Let’s all non serious patients go home quarantine more safer. Come on Shanghai .
Children are being separated from parents & pets are being beaten to death. Don't forget -- this is South China News, look elsewhere for what they won't show you. This is propaganda -- by the Chinese government. What is really taking place is insane because the people have had enough of the BS

Music to my ears.
Are you ok, old shameless brainless hater jealous loser kidd??
Vaccination rate is over 80%.
With sinovac sinopham which useless against delta omicron
Chinese home grown vaccine doesn`t do mutations very well and CCP is too cheap to by better ones.
How can they control people like this?? This is against human rights surely?
I think the Chinese govt should study different approach used by other nations in fighting Omicron. Omicron although highly transmissible is not as deadly as Delta. However, we can assume also that maybe there’s a fear among Chinese epidemiologists that a country of billion people infected with Omicron may result to another variant. Thus they put this draconian measures into place to be better safe than sorry
No joke my ex said one of their doctors was actually covid positive but the local authorities didn't want anyone else knowing except their insiders...
In New Zealand we conducted the most comprehensive lockdown for 3 months, we allowed only the most necessary work to be carried out (of course with regulation). However we did always allow people to go to the supermarket (with regulation). We generally accepted the lockdown, although the advent of Omicron no longer required a zero policy.
I have never seen anything like this ever happen...😞
This is part of a larger plan. Right Klaus Schwab??
This is what ive been saying. The purpose is to bring down the global supply chain. Also i believe this is a test to see how ppl react under starvation while under a technocratic dictatorship
