What's Happening in China? The November 2022 Protests
Hello! I know that there's so much going on in the world right now, so not everyone may be aware of what is happening in China right now. I thought that I would try to write a brief explainer, because the current wave of protests is truly unprecedented in the past 30+ years, and there is a lot of fear over what may happen next. For context, I'm doing this as someone who has a PhD in Asian Studies specialising in contemporary Chinese politics, so I don't know everything but I have researched China for many years.
I'll post some decent links at the end along with some China specialists & journalists I follow on Twitter (yeah I know, but it's still the place for the stuff at the moment). Here are the bullet points for those who just want a brief update:
Xi Jinping's government is still enacting a strict Zero Covid policy enforced by state surveillance and strict lockdowns.
On 24 November a fire in an apartment in Urumqi, Xinjiang province, killed 10. Many blamed strict quarantine policies on preventing evacuation.
Protests followed and have since spread nationwide.
Protesters are taking steps not seen since Tiananmen in 1989, including public chants for Xi and the CCP to step down.
Everyone is currently unsure how the government will respond.
More in-depth discussion and links under the cut:
First a caveat: this is my own analysis/explanation as a Chinese politics specialist. I will include links to read further from other experts and journalists. Also, this will be quite long, so sorry about that!
China's (aka Xi Jinping's) Covid Policy:
The first and most important context: Xi has committed to a strict Zero Covid policy in China, and has refused to change course. Now, other countries have had similar approaches and they undoubtedly saved lives - I was fortunate to live in New Zealand until this year, and Prime Minister Ardern's Zero Covid approach in 2020-2021 helped protect many. The difference is in the style/scope of enforcement, the use of vaccines, and the variant at play. China has stepped up its control on public life over the past 10 years, and has used this to enforce strict quarantine measures without full regard to the impact on people's lives - stories of people not getting food were common. Quarantine has also become a feared situation, as China moves people to facilities often little better than prisons and allegedly without much protection from catching Covid within. A personal friend in Zhengzhou went through national, then provincial, then local quarantines when moving back from NZ, and she has since done her best to avoid going back for her own mental and physical health. Xi has also committed China to its two home-grown vaccines, Sinovac and Sinopharm, both of which have low/dubious efficacy and are considered ineffective against new variants. Finally, with delta and then omicron most of the Zero-Covid countries have modified their approach due to the inability to maintain zero cases. China remains the only country still enacting whole-city eradication lockdowns, and they have become more frequent to the point that several are happening at any given time. The result is a population that is incredibly frustrated and losing hope amidst endless lockdowns and perceived ineffectiveness to address the pandemic.
Other Issues at Play:
Beyond the Covid situation, China is also wrestling with the continued slowdown in its economic growth. While its economic rise and annual GDP growth was nigh meteoric from the 80s to the 00s, it has been slowing over the past ten years, and the government is attempting to manage the transition away from an export-oriented economy to a more fully developed one. However, things are still uncertain, and Covid has taken its toll as it has elsewhere the past couple of years. Youth unemployment in particular is reaching new highs at around 20%, and Xi largely ignored this in his speech at the Party Congress in October (where he entered an unprecedented third term). As a result of the perceived uselessness of China's harsh work culture and its failure to result in a better life, many young Chinese have been promoting 躺平 tǎng píng or "lying flat", aka doing the bare minimum just to get by (similar to the English "quiet quitting"). The combination of economic issues and a botched Covid approach is important, as these directly affect the lives of ordinary middle-class Chinese, and historical it has only been when this occurred that mass movements really took off. The most famous, Tiananmen in 1989, followed China's opening up economic reforms and the dismantling of many economic safety nets allowing for growing inequality. While movements in China often grow to include other topics, having a foundation in something negatively impacting the average Han Chinese person's livelihood is important.
The Spark - 24 Nov 2022 Urumqi Apartment Fire:
The current protests were sparked by a recent fire that broke out in a flat in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang province. (This is the same Xinjiang that is home to the Uighur people, against whom China has enacted a campaign of genocide and cultural destruction.) The fire occurred in the evening and resulted in 10 deaths, which many online blamed on the strict lockdown measures imposed by officials, who prevented people from leaving their homes. It even resulted in a rare public apology by city officials. However, with anger being so high nationwide, in addition to many smaller protests that have occurred over the past two years, this incident has ignited a nationwide movement.
The Protests and Their Significance:
The protests that have broken out over the past couple of days representing the largest and most significant challenge to the leadership since the 1989 Tiananmen movement. Similar to that movement, these protests have occurred at universities and cities across the country, with many students taking part openly. This scale is almost unseen in China, particularly for an anti-government protest. Other than Tiananmen in 1989, the most widespread movements that have occurred have been incidents such as the protest of the 1999 Belgrade bombings or the 2005 and then 2012 anti-Japanese protests, all of which were about anger toward a foreign country.
Beyond the scale the protests are hugely significant in their message as well. Protesters are publicly shouting the phrases "习近平下台 Xí Jìnpíng xiàtái!" and "共产党 下台 Gòngchǎndǎng xiàtái!", which mean "Xi Jinping, step down/resign!" and "CCP, step down/resign!" respectively. To shout a direct slogan for the government to resign is unheard of in China, particularly as Xi has tightened control of civil society. And people are doing this across the country in the thousands, openly and in front of police. This is a major challenge for a leader and party who have prioritised regime stability as a core interest for the majority of their history.
Looking Ahead:
Right now, as of 15:00 Australian Eastern time on Monday, 28 November 2022, the protests are only in their first couple of days and we are unsure as to how the government will respond. Police have already been seen beating protesters and journalists and dragging them away in vehicles. However, in many cases the protests have largely been monitored by police but still permitted to occur. There seems to be uncertainty as to how they want to respond just yet, and as such no unified approach.
Many potential outcomes exist, and I would warn everyone to be careful in overplaying what can be achieved. Most experts I have read are not really expecting this to result in Xi's resignation or regime change - these things are possible, surely, but it is a major task to achieve and the unity & scale of the protest movement remains to be fully seen. The government may retaliate with a hard crackdown as it has done with Tiananmen and other protests throughout the years. It may also quietly revamp some policies without publicly admitting a change in order to both pacify protesters and save face. The CCP often uses mixed tactics, both coopting and suppressing protest movements over the years depending on the situation. Changing from Zero Covid may prove more challenging though, given how much Xi has staked his political reputation on enforcing it.
What is important for everyone online, especially those of us abroad, is to watch out for the misinformation campaign the government will launch to counter these protests. Already twitter is reportedly seeing hundreds of Chinese bot accounts mass post escort advertisements using various city names in order to drown out protest results in the site's search engine. Chinese officials will also likely invoke the standard narrative of Western influence and CIA tactics as the reason behind the protests, as they did during the Hong Kong protests.
Finally, there will be a new surge of misinformation and bad takes from tankies, or leftists who uncritically support authoritarian regimes so long as they are anti-US. An infamous one, the Qiao Collective, has already worked to shift the narrative away from the protests and onto debating the merits of Zero Covid. This is largely similar to pro-Putin leftists attempting the justify his invasion of Ukraine. Always remember that the same values that you use to criticise Western countries should be used to criticise authoritarian regimes as well - opposing US militarism and racism, for example, is not incompatible with opposing China's acts of genocide and state suppression. If you want further info (and some good sardonic humour) on the absurd takes and misinfo from pro-China tankies, I would recommend checking out Brian Hioe in the links below.
Finally, keep in mind that this is a grass-roots protest made by people in China, who are putting their own lives at risk to demonstrate openly like this. There have already been so many acts of bravery by those who just want a better future for themselves and their country, and it is belittling and disingenuous to wave away everything they are doing as being just a "Western front" or a few "fringe extremists".

Hi tumblr.. Please pay some attention to the incident happened in my country China, city Urumqi, Xinjiang. The city was blocked for more than 100 days due to the epidemic, which seriously affected people's life. On November 24, a fire broke out in a community in Urumqi, but the firefighters were unable to put out the fire in time because of the blockade. In the end ten People died, including a 3-year-old child. Last night (11.25) the people of Urumqi finally took to the streets out of despair and anger. They went to the city hall to march and protest, and confronted the police. This was extremely brave but also very dangerous.
Chinese Internet is extremely closed, and all content posted online is subject to examination and control. We are trying our best to convey this message to more people.
I'm very sorry if I disturbed you all, but if possible, please give the people of my country a little international attention and support, thank you😢If you need more content please check this twitter account:
Tumblr media
I am really desperate and terribly worried for people of Urumqi right now and I hope this incident could reach to more people around the world. Thank you.

Moving toward a relaxation of quarantine times and lockdowns shows that China’s battle against COVID is based on not only physical science but also social science. From the beginning of the outbreak, it was meant to be a dynamic approach that would adjust based on the ever-changing characteristics of the virus and even on differences between locations.   Even if greatly exaggerated by the U.S. press, the tragedy in Urumqi brought frustrations to the surface after three years of dealing with the pandemic. But that doesn’t mean there is broad dissatisfaction with the leadership of the campaign against COVID.

Protesters in China demand Xi Jinping step down, November 27, 2022
Unrest is growing in China over the country's strict COVID-19 measures. Fresh protests have broken out in major cities, with hundreds rallying at Beijing's elite Tsing-hua University, chanting 'we want freedom.' Many also held up blank sheets of paper in a symbolic protest against state censorship. More demonstrations have also been reported in Shanghai, following clashes with police overnight. Public anger has flared after a deadly apartment block fire, with many blaming an ongoing lockdown for hampering rescue efforts. Chinese officials have defended their zero-covid policy, despite the growing public backlash.

Hello and welcome to the shaoshan collective covid masterpost! Here all informations that have been posted here or on the channel will be easily available in both Italian and English language,do to the enormous amount of sources they will be at the bottom of the master post,feel free to link this post in any discussion and for your own research,the shaoshan collective takes great pride in his accuracy and scientific approach
The post is machine translated
The translation is at the bottom
The collective is on telegram
⚠️ ALLENTAMENTO DELLE MISURE DI PREVENZIONE E CONTROLLO, PARTE 1 - ELIMINAZIONE DI CERTI OBBLIGHI ⚠️
🇨🇳 Le Autorità di numerose città, soprattutto quelle più grandi e più popolate, hanno ottimizzato le Misure di Controllo e Prevenzione seguendo e perfezionando le Direttive della Nona Edizione del Piano di Prevenzione e Controllo, nonché le 20 Misure per Ottimizzare la Prevenzione, che includono:
📄 Eliminazione dell'obbligo di frequenti Test Molecolari, che finora erano GRATUITI.
📄 Eliminazione dell'obbligo di fornire i risultati dei Test Molecolari per l'utilizzo dei mezzi pubblici.
🌃 A Shanghai, il Governo ha annunciato che eliminerà la necessità di un risultato negativo al Test Molecolare per mezzi pubblici e luoghi all'aperto - 📄 Fonte.
🌆 A Shenzhen, il Governo ha rilasciato una dichiarazione di conferma che i residenti non avranno più bisogno di fornire un certificato di Test Molecolare quando entrano in luoghi pubblici come farmacie e attrazioni, così come non sarà più obbligatorio per mezzi pubblici, mentre rimarrà obbligatorio negli aeroporti e nelle stazioni ferroviarie, dove ogni giorno circolano centinaia di migliaia di persone - 📄 Fonte.
🏙 A Ürümqi, le autorità - che hanno incontrato i manifestanti durante proteste legittime, non come quelle eterodirette da USA e UK a Shanghai - stanno intensificando gli sforzi per promuovere la piena ripresa delle attività produttive, lavorative e commerciali, e riapriranno persino gli impianti sciistici della città - 📄 Fonte in fondo
🏛 Anche a Pechino sono state introdotte misure di allentamento, come l'eliminazione dell'obbligo di presentare il risultato del Test Molecolare su autobus e metropolitane, anch'esse frequentate da milioni di cittadini ogni giorno - 📄 Fonte in fondo
🌇 Anche a Guangzhou e Chengdu sono state revocate numerose restrizioni, eliminando l'obbligo di dover presentare un risultato negativo del Test Molecolare per prendere autobus e metropolitane - 📄 Fonte in fondo
🏙 Anche a Chongqing sono state revocate le restrizioni, e le autorità hanno invitato i residenti a effettuare Test Molecolari solo quando strettamente necessario, e - inoltre - le autorità locali hanno cessato di fornire Test Molecolari gratuiti a partire da domenica, secondo il principio "ogni persona è individualmente responsabile della propria salute" - 📄 Fonte in fondo
📊 Un Test Molecolare costerà 2,6 Yuan, ovvero 0,35€ a persone per un campione combinato, e 13 Yuan, ovvero 1,77€, per Test Individuali.
🏭 A Guangzhou, a partire da sabato quasi 7.700 imprese chiave, 18.000 unità di ristorazione e 219.000 imprese all'ingrosso e al dettaglio e 122 impianti industriali nel Distretto di Tianhe hanno ripreso completamente il lavoro e la produzione, come dichiarato da Huang Kaixuan, Vice-Capo Esecutivo del Distretto.
🏨 La Commissione per la Salute di Pechino ha esortato i residenti ad adempiere al proprio dovere nella prevenzione del COVID-19 e ad "essere loro stessi i primi responsabili della propria salute"
🧾 Tali misure - che sicuramente alleggeriscono l'onere sulla Gestione delle Comunità, messe a dura prova, come negli altri paesi del mondo, nei tre anni di COVID-19 - non devono essere viste come "un'apertura improvvisa" o un "allentamento totale delle restrizioni COVID-19", ma come una risposta delle autorità agli sviluppi della situazione.
📄 Su questo tema, sul perché non si può "lasciarsi andare" o "continuare a fare affari come sempre" per quanto riguarda le misure COVID-19, ci saranno dei post a parte, per trattare al meglio la questione.
🩻 Wang Guangfa - Esperto di Pneumologia presso il Primo Ospedale dell'Univeristà di Pechino - ha affermato che tali aggiustamenti non devono essere visti nell'ottica di una completa apertura, ma come un'ottimizzazione delle misure di prevenzione e controllo in linea con le caratteristiche della variante del virus, che permette il raggiungimento di un nuovo equilibrio tra controllo dell'epidemia e misure economico-sociali.
⚠️ ALLENTAMENTO DELLE MISURE DI PREVENZIONE E CONTROLLO, PARTE 2 - DALLA PREVENZIONE DEL VIRUS ALLA PREVENZIONE DI CASI GRAVI E DECESSI | PATOGENICITÀ E VIRULENZA ⚠️
📄 Nel post precedente è stato citato Wang Guangfa - Esperto di Pneumologia presso il Primo Ospedale dell'Univeristà di Pechino - che ha affermato come i nuovi aggiustamenti non debbano essere visti come completa apertura, ma come ottimizzazione delle misure di prevenzione e controllo in linea con le caratteristiche della variante del virus, e questo sarà il tema del post.
🦠 Per contenere un virus altamente contagioso, ma con virulenza più debole, il costo delle Misure di Controllo dell'Epidemia è molto più elevato rispetto quello delle misure precedenti nel trattare ceppi con minore contagiosità, ma con maggiore virulenza come la Variante DELTA, il che rende necessario gli attuali adeguamenti, ma "è improbabile che usciremo dalla pandemia in breve tempo questo inverno, poiché molti paesi stanno affrontando simili rinascite", ha dichiarato Wang Guangfa.
🔬Un Team di Ricerca Cinese ha dimostrato che la patogenicità di OMICRON è diminuita rispetto al Ceppo originale del Coronavirus e alle sue altre Varianti 📉
🏨 Patogenicità e Virulenza delle Varianti del COVID-19 sono le questioni-chiave su cui si sono concentrati gli scienziati cinesi, ed è stato scientificamente dimostrato al Laboratorio di Virologia dell'Università di Wuhan la drastica diminuzione della patogenicità di OMICRON 📉
🔬Per chi fosse interessato al processo e all'esperimento che ha portato alla dimostrazione, può leggere in fondo
💬 Lan Ke, Direttore del Laboratorio, ha affermato che i risultati ottenuti dimostrano che rispetto al Ceppo Originale, OMICRON ha una capacità più debole di causare malattie combinata con una virulenza inferiore - e che quindi non bisogna farsi prendere dal panico per OMICRON, in quanti i danni che causa sono notevolmente minori rispetto al Ceppo Originale 📉
🧾 In precedenza, un Documento di Ricerca pubblicato da scienziati dell'Università di Hong Kong e della Università Medica dell'Hainan nel gennaio del 2022 aveva dimostrato che la replicazione di OMICRON si è sostanzialmente attenuata nelle cellule umane Calu3 e CaCO2, e che OMICRON - rispetto a BETA e DELTA - provoca il più basso tasso di mortalità 📉
📑 Il Processo di Apertura e Uscita dalla Pandemia da COVID-19 dovrebbe procedere passo dopo passo e non subire brusche virate, come ha affermato Chen Xi - Assistente Professore di Sanità Pubblica dell'Università Yale, e il nuovo focus sarà la preparazione e l'impiego di più risorse mediche per i casi gravi, dato che la virulenza di OMICRON è minore alle precedenti Varianti.
📊 Come ad Hong Kong, anche nelle altre zone della Cina la priorità è quale di completare il processo di vaccinazione - che in Cina non è obbligatorio - degli ultra-ottantenni, e poi tra i 60-69 e i 70-79, in quanto gruppi ad alto rischio 🏥
💬 "Per uscire dall'Epidemia, è fondamentale costruire l'immunità tra i gruppi vulnerabili e il lavoro futuro non si concentrerà sull'eliminazione completa del virus attraverso i Test, ma dovrebbe concentrarsi sul mantenere la virulenza del virus ad un livello molto basso", ha dichiarato Zhang Wenhong, Epidemiologo di Shanghai.
💬 "Ora stiamo spostando la nostra strategia dalla prevenzione del virus alla prevenzione di casi gravi e decessi, quindi dobbiamo concentrarci maggiormente sulla popolazione vulnerabile chiave", ha affermato Wang Guangfa.
⚠️ "LE PERSONE PRIMA DI TUTTO" E "LA PREVENZIONE DELLE EPIDEMIE PRIMA DI TUTTO" NON SONO LA MEDESIMA COSA - PARTE 1 ⚠️
🦠 Dallo scoppio dell'Epidemia da COVID-19 sono trascorsi quasi tre anni, e quasi tutti i paesi del mondo sono stati colpiti.
🇺🇸 Al primo posto per Numero di Casi COVID-19 e Numero di Morti ci sono gli USA: 100.863.106 casi totali | 1.106.860 morti 📊
🌸 L'Obiettivo del Collettivo Shaoshan è fornire notizie ed analisi per la comprensione della realtà della Cina e del suo modo di pensare attraverso fonti primarie, non per fornire una "visione occidentale" degli eventi, pertanto il prossimo documento farà luce sul perché non si può pensare che in Cina si possa "tornare agli affari come al solito" ⬇️
📄 Con il prolungarsi del Periodo di Prevenzione e Controllo - scrive 浙江宣传, Ufficio del Dipartimento della Propaganda dello Zhejiang - la resistenza, nonché la tolleranza - anche psicologica - di molte persone è stata messa a dura prova. [...] Recentemente, in nome della Prevenzione, in alcune aree sono state implementare misure arbitrarie che hanno imbarazzato le masse, provocando deformazioni delle normali "20 Misure per la Prevenzione e il Controllo", trascurando la vita e la sicurezza delle masse, rovinando l'immagine del Partito, del Governo e ferendo il cuore delle persone" 💔
📑 "Prevenzione e Controllo delle epidemie - si legge nel comunicato del 浙江宣传 - servono a prevenire i virus, non la vita delle persone - è "prima le persone", non "prevenzione delle epidemie prima di tutto", in quanto - indipendentemente dal tipo di misure adottate, esse dovrebbero consentire alla società di tornare alla normalità il prima possibile" ☀️
⚽️ "In questo periodo si tiene la Coppa del Mondo in Qatar, e molti notano l'assenza di mascherine, tanto che qualcuno ha chiesto: "molti paesi nel mondo ora stanno facendo affari come al solito ["business as usual"], loro possono "lasciarsi andare", perché noi non possiamo?"
📊 Ad oggi, ci sono 636 milioni di casi COVID-19 confermati, e oltre 6,6 milioni di morti. Nell'ultimo giorno [dalla pubblicazione del documento] ci sono stati 230.000 nuovi casi e 428 decessi. Tra questi, il Giappone ha una popolazione di 126 milioni di persone, con un aumento giornaliero confermato dei casi pari a 98.000 unità, e la Corea del Sud - che ha una popolazione che conta oltre 50 milioni di persone, presenta un aumento giornaliero di 47.000 casi.
📊 Osservando le risorse mediche, la Cina nel 2022 ha 6,7 posti letto medici per 1.000 abitanti, mentre nel 2020 la Corea del Sud ne aveva 12,65, il Giappone 12,63, la Germania 7,82.
📊 Nel 2020, la Cina aveva 4,5 letti per terapia intensiva per 100.000 persone, la Germania 28,2, la Francia 16,4 e il Giappone 13,8, con una media globale pari a 10.
📊 Alla fine del 2021, la popolazione della Cina di età ≥ 60 anni era pari a 267 milioni di unità, mentre quella dei bambini ha superato i 250 milioni, presentando la situazione "un anziano, un giovane" 🇨🇳
🇸🇬 Secondo gli ultimi dati di Singapore, i tassi di mortalità per infezione degli anziani di età compresa tra 60-69, 70-79 e 80+ con protezione vaccinale sono rispettivamente dello 0,014%, 0,064% e 0,54% - i tassi di mortalità per infezione degli anziani nelle tre fasce di età senza protezione vaccinale sono rispettivamente dello 0,19%, 0,29%, 2,5% 📊
🇨🇳 In Cina, ci sono - per le tre fasce d'età trattate - 22,64 milioni, 16,16 milioni e 14 milioni di anziani che non hanno effettuato la vaccinazione (in Cina non c'è obbligo di vaccinazione) 💉
📄 "Liberalizzando" completamente, "lasciandosi andare", e basandosi sulle stime del tasso di mortalità per infezione, il bilancio delle vittime degli anziani di età ≥ 60 anni raggiungerebbe i 600.000 decessi, un numero esageratamente alto (❗️)
⚠️ "LE PERSONE PRIMA DI TUTTO" E "LA PREVENZIONE DELLE EPIDEMIE PRIMA DI TUTTO" NON SONO LA MEDESIMA COSA - PARTE 2 ⚠️
🇨🇳 Sebbene il numero dei morti - a livello statistico - sia "freddo", alla fine ricade sulle famiglie. Come scritto nel documento di 浙江宣传: "possiamo accettare la realtà della morte dei nostri cari? Assolutamente no, è inaccettabile. Il Sistema Sociale, la nostra Cultura Storica, i nostri valori e la nostra etica non ci permettono di guardare i nostri genitori, nonni e figli affrontare una minaccia di morte senza fare nulla e arrendersi" 🌺
🇺🇸|🇪🇺 "In alcuni paesi dell'Occidente, centinaia di persone sono morte a causa dell'epidemia in una casa di riposo o addirittura nelle loro case, senza visite a domicilio dei medici (❗️), se questo accadesse in Cina, sarebbe inaccettabile, pertanto vanno compresi gli sforzi per controllare l'epidemia" 🏥
📊 Secondo The Lancet, durante la Pandemia di COVID-19, il Tasso di Mortalità in Eccesso Globale è stato stimato a 18,2 milioni, ovvero 120,3 per 100.000 persone, e negli USA è stato di 179,3 per 100.000 persone [perciò più alto del livello globale], mentre in Cina il Tasso di Mortalità in Eccesso è solo dello 0,6 per 100.000 persone [molto, molto più basso del livello globale, ergo è stato svolto un eccellente lavoro] 📉
🇺🇸|🇪🇺 Lo stile del "tornare ai propri affari come al solito", il "business as usual" dei paesi occidentali si basa in realtà sulla perdita di vite umane (❗️) e sulla disgregazione delle famiglie (❗️) - QUANTI LO HANNO DIMENTICATO?
📊 Dati mostrano che il numero di decessi in Europa per la nuova epidemia di COVID-19 ha superato i 2 milioni, e gli USA 1,08 milioni, il paese con più decessi da COVID-19 al mondo 🇺🇸
❗️Invidiare la "libertà" dei paesi occidentali, ma ignorare il doloroso prezzo che hanno pagato è oblio selettivo.
🌊 "Se paragoniamo l'epidemia ad un fiume turbolento, per raggiungere l'altra sponda, alcuni paesi scelgono di entrare in acqua nudi, la "sopravvivenza del più adatto" e l'acquiescenza verso un gran numero di vittime, mentre la Cina sceglie di aiutarsi a vicenda e superare insieme le difficoltà, utilizzando il possibile una Grande Nave per dare a ognuno la possibilità di sopravvivere", come testimoniato dall'enorme numero di volontari.
🏙 Ad esempio, a Chongqing, oltre 600.000 volontari, dai quadri del Partito ai residenti, hanno offerto aiuto per far fronte all'ultima recrudescenza dell'epidemia 💞
🛳 "Quando la Grande Nave fa fatica e si avvicina gradualmente alla sponda opposta, se invidi ciecamente quei bagnanti che sono già sbarcati e hanno attraversato il fiume a nuoto [e molti sono annegati] invece di fare sforzi concertati per remare, allora gli sforzi precedenti saranno stati vani" 😔
🇨🇳 Il percorso che la Cina ha scelto per combattere l'epidemia è stato, fin dall'inizio, diverso da quella dei paesi occidentali, questo deve essere molto chiaro.
💭 La logica è stata ed è: "以人为本" - "Orientata alle Persone", "实事求是" - "Cercare la Verità dai Fatti" e "适应当前条件" - "Adattarsi alle condizioni attuali" 🇨🇳
⭐️ Tra la fine del 2019 e l'inizio del 2020, l'epidemia da COVID-19 è stata feroce in tutto il mondo, e le autorità hanno preso decisioni drastiche per frenare - in un breve periodo di tempo - la diffusione del virus 🦠
📊 Poiché successivamente il numero di casi locali è - progressivamente - sceso ad una cifra, le autorità hanno valutato la situazione, coordinato la prevenzione e il controllo dell'epidemia con lo sviluppo economico e sociale, promuovendo la ripresa del lavoro e della produzione in modo ordinato, diventando l'unico paese al mondo a raggiungere una crescita economica positiva in un periodo in cui tutte le grandi economie erano in negativo (❗️) - 📄 Fonte in fondo
⚠️ "LE PERSONE PRIMA DI TUTTO" E "LA PREVENZIONE DELLE EPIDEMIE PRIMA DI TUTTO" NON SONO LA MEDESIMA COSA - PARTE 3 ⚠️
🏛 Oggi, di fronte al graduale indebolimento della pericolosità del virus e ai cambiamenti nelle caratteristiche di trasmissione, le autorità promuovono la "Compensazione Dinamica" e pongono una maggiore enfasi sulla precisione scientifica dei Piani di Prevenzione e Controllo, introducendo 20 Misure per ottimizzare la Prevenzione e il Controllo.
🏥 Cos'è la "Compensazione Dinamica"? - "La politica di Compensazione Dinamica significa sopprimere un focolaio ogni volta che si verifica e farlo in un lasso di tempo relativamente breve in modo che non porti alla diffusione del virus nella comunità" - 📄 Fonte in fondo
📊 Nel 2021, il PIL della Cina è cresciuto dell'8,1%, e il Tasso di Crescita Medio nel 2020 e 2021 è stato del 5,1%, rendendola la miglior economia nel periodo COVID-19.
❗️"Recentemente, nel processo di attuazione della "Compensazione Dinamica" in alcuni luoghi, a causa di problemi di comprensione, capacità e metodi, le politiche di prevenzione e controllo sono state deformate"
🏙 "Alcuni luoghi hanno interpretazioni diverse della politica di "Compensazione Dinamica" e delle "20 Misure", e hanno lavorato senza rispettare l'autorità del Governo Centrale (❗️). Agli occhi di certe persone, Prevenzione e Controllo sono metodi per gestire i propri "piccoli stagni", piuttosto che gestire congiuntamente il "grande fiume che scorre" - non ragionano secondo il Principio del "Io sono responsabile del flusso del fiume, tu sei responsabile della gestione" 🌊
💥"In alcune zone, l'aver "premuto l'acceleratore" o aver effettuati repentini "cambi di marcia e poi stallo" ha danneggiato gravemente il desiderio delle masse di stabilità - in alcuni luoghi o c'è una chiusura o tutto è lasciato andare, non c'è stata "combinazione organizzata" e volontà di ottimizzare scientificamente il processo di prevenzione e controllo"
📄 "Prima la prevenzione delle epidemie" in alcuni luoghi ha sostituito "prima le persone" - e la vita delle persone, nonché l'economia - è stata sottovalutata, dando - tra l'altro - troppa importanza al COVID-19 e al COVID-19 soltanto, distorcendo il Principio "生命至上" - "la vita prima di ogni altra cosa / prima la vita" 🌱
❗️Alcuni funzionari hanno "intensificato" la prevenzione, non hanno osservato le Leggi e le "20 Misure", e hanno negativamente affrontato le masse, cosa che ha gelato il cuore delle persone 😔
📄 L'esistenza di questi problemi non può essere ignorata, ma non è realistico attribuirla ogni volta alla politica di "Compensazione Dinamica", e l'attuale Piano di Prevenzione e Controllo è simile ad un "Equilibrio di Interessi" - costruito secondo la seguente logica:
💭 "Prendere atto del sostentamenteo delle persone e dei valori economici, realizzare una "Soluzione Ottimizzata" in un Equilibrio Multi-Obiettivo, aderire alla Politica Generale di "Compensazione Dinamica", concentrarsi su obiettivi graduali, evidenziare la precisione scientifica e garantire che le politiche non siano fuori fase o deformate" 🔬
⭐️ "Tale processo metterà alla prova le capacità di governance dei Comitato di Partito e di Governo ad ogni livello, nonché la Saggezza e la Responsabilità dei quadri del Partito" 🇨🇳
📄 "Tuttavia, non si possono negare completamente le politiche di Prevenzione e Controllo soltanto perché in alcune aree sono state rilevate deviazioni dall'attuazione delle corrette Politiche di Prevenzione e Controllo, in quanto sarebbe irragionevole, cieco di fronte alla Grande Logica e vedente di fronte alla Piccola Logica del Momento" - ma questo certi "liberi pensatori" e lupi anti-sistema tornati pecorelle quando si tratta della Cina non lo capiranno mai.
🗄 "In risposta alla mancanza di capacità e stile di lavoro dei singoli addetti alla Prevenzione, è necessario segnalarli e sollecitarli ad apportare correzioni, ma non si può generalizzare il tutto e pensare che TUTTO il personale di Prevenzione sia incompetente e distaccato dalle masse" 🇨🇳
⚠️ "LE PERSONE PRIMA DI TUTTO" E "LA PREVENZIONE DELLE EPIDEMIE PRIMA DI TUTTO" NON SONO LA MEDESIMA COSA - PARTE 4 ⚠️
📄 "Uscire dalla nebbia dell'Epidemia COVID-19 non è un qualcosa che si può risolvere dicendo "lascia perdere", "non te ne curare", "tanto ormai c'è", in quanto tali discussioni - presenti in Occidente (❗️) - non risolveranno automaticamente i problemi. Nascondere la polvere sotto il tappeto non funziona sul lungo periodo, ma certi "liberi pensatori" in Occidente non lo capiranno mai.
🔬"Analizzare scientemente le condizioni attuali, e su di esse costruire un lavoro di miglioramento delle capacità di affrontare i problemi, sforzandosi di gestire il tutto correttamente, queste sono le basi per cui dovremmo lottare" 🧬
🦠 "Perché il virus non può "essere lasciato andare" immediatamente, dato che il Tasso di Letalità è basso? Bisogna prendere la vaccinazione come esempio: in Cina, la vaccinazione non è obbligatoria, e il Tasso di Vaccinazione di Richiamo degli anziani con età ≥ 80 è del 40%, e il livello di immunità generale dell'intera popolazione non è elevato" 📊
💬 "In questo momento, invece di rimanere impigliati nei discorsi sul "rilascio", o anche sulla "chiusura", è meglio aumentare il nostro livello di vaccinazione, migliorare la produzione di medicinali, costruire più letti di terapia intensiva e rafforzare i servizi di consegna di domicilio delle persone, per non lasciarle sole", come invece è accaduto in Occidente (❗️), con la privatizzazione del sistema sanitario dei paesi europei.
📄 "È necessario unificare gli standard del Codice Sanitario in tutto il Paese il prima possibile, collegare i risultati dei nuovi test in tutto il Paese, promuovere l'esperienza della Prevenzione e Controllo intelligente in più luoghi per far fluire più dati da analizzare al meglio, e minimizzare gli effetti del virus e i problemi delle persone" 📉
📄 "Alcuni membri del Partito sono deboli nella loro capacità di svolgere un lavoro sotto i riflettori: o evitano ciecamente e schivano le preoccupazioni delle masse, o parlano molto durante le conferenze stampa, ma i risultati non riflettono ciò che le masse vorrebbero ascoltare" - come si può vedere, c'è un forte spirito di auto-critica, legate alla campagna interna al Partito ( 三严三实), ovvero "Tre dichiarazioni di Onestà, Tre dichiarazioni di Severità" 📑
🔊 "È necessario esporre coloro che rifuggono alle proprie responsabilità, espellerli e promuovere coloro che sono in grado di parlare in maniera chiara e accurata - "站出来,给不确定的人更多的确定,让权威专业的声音说话" 🇨🇳
📄 "C'è solo uno scopo nella lotta contro l'epidemia, ed è quello di avvantaggiare le persone e proteggere la sicurezza di tutti. Con lo sviluppo dell'epidemia fino ad oggi, ogni aggiustamento del Piano di Prevenzione e Controllo rappresenta un passo in avanti verso il successo. [...] Per noi, la "Prevenzione e Controllo" è come navigare su una Grande Nave che trasporta 1,4 miliardi di persone all'altra sponda: navigare, rallentare, fermarsi, virare - questo è il motivo per cui il Piano di Prevenzione e Controllo è stato iterato dalla Prima alla Nona - e attuale - Edizione, e le nuove edizioni saranno sempre più accurate" 🛳

⚠️ RELEASE OF PREVENTION AND CONTROL MEASURES, PART 1 - ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS ⚠️
🇨🇳 The authorities of numerous cities, especially the larger and more populated ones, have optimized the Prevention and Control Measures by following and refining the Directives of the Ninth Edition of the Prevention and Control Plan, as well as the 20 Measures to Optimize Prevention, which include :
📄 Elimination of the obligation of frequent Molecular Tests, which until now were FREE.
📄 Elimination of the obligation to provide the results of Molecular Tests for the use of public transport.
🌃 In Shanghai, the Government announced that it will eliminate the need for a negative Molecular Test result for public transport and outdoor venues - 📄 Source at the bottom
🌆 In Shenzhen, the Government issued a statement confirming that residents will no longer need to provide a Molecular Test Certificate when entering public places such as pharmacies and attractions, as well as it will no longer be mandatory for public transport, while it will remain mandatory in airports and railway stations, where hundreds of thousands of people circulate every day - 📄 Source at the bottom
🏙 In Ürümqi, the authorities - who met the demonstrators during legitimate protests, not like the US and UK-directed ones in Shanghai - are stepping up their efforts to promote the full recovery of production, work and commercial activities, and will even reopen the ski resorts of the city - 📄 Source.
🏛 Easing measures have also been introduced in Beijing, such as the elimination of the obligation to present the result of the Molecular Test on buses and subways, which are also frequented by millions of citizens every day - 📄 Source.
🌇 Numerous restrictions have also been lifted in Guangzhou and Chengdu, eliminating the obligation to present a negative Molecular Test result to take buses and subways - 📄 Source.
🏙 Restrictions have also been lifted in Chongqing, and the authorities have invited residents to carry out Molecular Tests only when strictly necessary, and - moreover - the local authorities have stopped providing free Molecular Tests starting from Sunday, according to the principle "every person is individually responsible for his own health" - 📄 Source.
📊 A Molecular Test will cost 2.6 Yuan, or €0.35 per person for a combined sample, and 13 Yuan, or €1.77, for Individual Tests.
🏭 In Guangzhou, as of Saturday, nearly 7,700 key enterprises, 18,000 catering units and 219,000 wholesale and retail enterprises and 122 industrial plants in Tianhe District have fully resumed work and production, said Huang Kaixuan, Deputy -Chief Executive of the District.
🏨 The Beijing Health Commission has urged residents to fulfill their duty in preventing COVID-19 and to "be primarily responsible for their own health"
🧾 These measures - which certainly lighten the burden on Community Management, put to the test, as in other countries of the world, in the three years of COVID-19 - must not be seen as a "sudden opening" or an "easing full of COVID-19 restrictions", but as a response from the authorities to developments in the situation.
📄 On this issue, why you can't "let go" or "continue to do business as usual" regarding the COVID-19 measures, there will be separate posts, to better deal with the issue.
🩻 Wang Guangfa - Pneumology expert at the First Hospital of Beijing University - said that these adjustments should not be seen with a view to complete opening, but as an optimization of prevention and control measures in line with the characteristics of the variant of the virus, which allows the achievement of a new balance between epidemic control and economic-social measures.
⚠️ RELEASE OF PREVENTION AND CONTROL MEASURES, PART 2 - FROM VIRUS PREVENTION TO PREVENTION OF SERIOUS CASES AND DEATHS | PATHOGENICITY AND VIRULENCE ⚠️
📄 The previous post quoted Wang Guangfa - Pneumology expert at the First Hospital of Beijing University - who said that the new adjustments should not be seen as a complete opening, but as an optimization of prevention and control measures in line with the characteristics of the variant of the virus, and this will be the topic of the post.
🦠 To contain a highly contagious but weaker virulence virus, the cost of Epidemic Control Measures is much higher than that of the previous measures in dealing with less contagious but higher virulence strains such as the DELTA Variant, which makes current adjustments necessary, but "we are unlikely to emerge from the pandemic any time soon this winter, as many countries are facing similar resurgences," said Wang Guangfa.
🔬A Chinese Research Team has shown that the pathogenicity of OMICRON is decreased compared to the original Coronavirus Strain and its other Variants 📉
🏨 Pathogenicity and Virulence of COVID-19 Variants are the key issues on which Chinese scientists have focused, and the drastic decrease in the pathogenicity of OMICRON has been scientifically demonstrated at the Wuhan University Virology Laboratory 📉
🔬For those interested in the process and the experiment that led to the demonstration, you can read here 📄
💬 Lan Ke, Director of the Laboratory, said that the obtained results demonstrate that compared to the Original Strain, OMICRON has a weaker ability to cause disease combined with lower virulence - and therefore one should not panic about OMICRON, as many the damage it causes is considerably less than the Original Strain 📉
🧾 Earlier, a Research Paper published by scientists from Hong Kong University and Hainan Medical University in January 2022 showed that OMICRON replication substantially attenuated in human Calu3 and CaCO2 cells, and that OMICRON - compared to BETA and DELTA - causes the lowest mortality rate 📉
📑 The Process of Opening and Exiting the COVID-19 Pandemic should go step by step and not take sharp turns, as Chen Xi - Assistant Professor of Public Health at Yale University said, and the new focus will be preparation and use of more medical resources for severe cases, since the virulence of OMICRON is lower than the previous variants.
📊 As in Hong Kong, also in other areas of China the priority is which one to complete the vaccination process - which is not mandatory in China - of over-80 year olds, and then between 60-69 and 70-79, as groups high risk 🏥
💬 "To emerge from the Epidemic, it is crucial to build immunity among vulnerable groups and future work will not focus on eliminating the virus completely through Testing, but should focus on keeping the virulence of the virus at a very low level" said Zhang Wenhong, an epidemiologist in Shanghai.
💬 "We are now shifting our strategy from preventing the virus to preventing severe cases and deaths, so we need to focus more on the key vulnerable population," said Wang Guangfa.
⚠️ "PEOPLE FIRST" AND "EPIDEMIC PREVENTION FIRST" ARE NOT THE SAME - PART 1 ⚠️
🦠 Almost three years have passed since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, and almost all countries in the world have been affected.
🇺🇸 In first place for Number of COVID-19 Cases and Number of Deaths are the USA: 100,863,106 total cases | 1,106,860 dead 📊
🌸 The Goal of the Shaoshan Collective is to provide news and analysis for understanding the reality of China and its way of thinking through primary sources, not to provide a "Western view" of events, therefore the next document will shed light on why not may think that China can "go back to business as usual" ⬇️
📄 With the extension of the Prevention and Control Period - writes 浙江宣传, Zhejiang Propaganda Department Office - the resistance, as well as tolerance - even psychological - of many people has been put to the test. [...] Recently, in the name of Prevention, arbitrary measures have been implemented in some areas that have embarrassed the masses, causing distortion of the normal "20 Measures for Prevention and Control", neglecting the lives and safety of the masses, ruining the image of the Party, the Government and hurting people's hearts" 💔
📑 "Epidemic Prevention and Control - reads the press release of 浙江宣传 - serve to prevent viruses, not people's lives - it is "people first", not "epidemic prevention first", because - regardless of the type of measures taken, they should allow society to return to normal as soon as possible" ☀️
⚽️ "The World Cup is held in Qatar right now, and many notice the absence of masks, so much so that someone asked: "many countries in the world are now doing business as usual ["business as usual"], they they can "let go", why can't we?"
📊 To date, there are 636 million confirmed COVID-19 cases, and over 6.6 million deaths. In the last day [since the publication of the document] there have been 230,000 new cases and 428 deaths. Among them, Japan has a population of 126 million, with a confirmed daily increase of cases of 98,000, and South Korea - which has a population of over 50 million, has a daily increase of 47,000. cases.
📊 Looking at medical resources, China in 2022 had 6.7 medical beds per 1,000 inhabitants, while in 2020 South Korea had 12.65, Japan 12.63, Germany 7.82.
📊 In 2020, China had 4.5 ICU beds per 100,000 people, Germany 28.2, France 16.4 and Japan 13.8, for a global average of 10.
📊 At the end of 2021, China's population aged ≥ 60 was 267 million, while that of children exceeded 250 million, presenting the "one old, one young" situation 🇨🇳
🇸🇬 According to the latest data from Singapore, the infection fatality rates of elderly aged 60-69, 70-79 and 80+ with vaccine protection are 0.014%, 0.064% and 0.54% respectively - the rates of mortality due to infection of the elderly in the three age groups without vaccination protection are respectively 0.19%, 0.29%, 2.5% 📊
🇨🇳 In China, there are - for the three age groups treated - 22.64 million, 16.16 million and 14 million elderly people who have not been vaccinated (in China there is no vaccination obligation) 💉
📄 Completely "liberating", "letting go", and based on estimates of the death rate from infection, the death toll of the elderly aged ≥ 60 would reach 600,000 deaths, a disproportionately high number (❗️)
⚠️ "PEOPLE FIRST" AND "EPIDEMIC PREVENTION FIRST" ARE NOT THE SAME - PART 2 ⚠️
🇨🇳 Although the number of deaths - statistically - is "cold", in the end it falls on the families. As written in 浙江宣传's document: "Can we accept the reality of the death of our loved ones? Absolutely not, it is unacceptable. The Social System, our Historical Culture, our values ​​and our ethics do not allow us to look at our parents, grandparents and children face a death threat without doing anything and surrender" 🌺
🇺🇸|🇪🇺 "In some Western countries, hundreds of people died from the epidemic in a nursing home or even in their own homes, without home visits by doctors (❗️), if this happened in China, would be unacceptable, therefore efforts to control the epidemic should be understood" 🏥
📊 According to The Lancet, during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Global Excess Mortality Rate was estimated at 18.2 million, or 120.3 per 100,000 people, and in the US it was 179.3 per 100,000 people [ therefore higher than the global level], while in China the Excess Mortality Rate is only 0.6 per 100,000 people [much, much lower than the global level, ergo an excellent job has been done] 📉
🇺🇸|🇪🇺 The "go back to business as usual" style, the "business as usual" of Western countries is actually based on the loss of human lives (❗️) and the breakup of families (❗️) - HOW MANY LO THEY FORGOT?
📊 Data shows that the number of deaths in Europe from the new COVID-19 epidemic has exceeded 2 million, and the USA has exceeded 1.08 million, the country with the most COVID-19 deaths in the world 🇺🇸
❗️ Envying the "freedom" of Western countries, but ignoring the painful price they have paid is selective oblivion.
🌊 "If we compare the epidemic to a turbulent river, to reach the other side, some countries choose to enter the water naked, the "survival of the fittest" and acquiescence towards a large number of victims, while China chooses to help each other and overcome difficulties together, using a Big Ship as much as possible to give everyone the chance to survive", as witnessed by the enormous number of volunteers.
🏙 For example, in Chongqing, more than 600,000 volunteers, from Party cadres to residents, have offered help to deal with the latest outbreak of the epidemic 💞
🛳 "When the Great Ship struggles and gradually approaches the opposite shore, if you blindly envy those bathers who have already landed and swum across the river [and many have drowned] instead of making concerted efforts to row, then the previous efforts they will have been in vain" 😔
🇨🇳 The path that China has chosen to fight the epidemic has, from the very beginning, been different from that of Western countries, this must be very clear.
💭 The logic was and is: "以人为本" - "People Oriented", "实事求是" - "Seeking Truth from Facts" and "适应当前条件" - "Adapting to Current Conditions" 🇨🇳
⭐️ Between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic was fierce all over the world, and the authorities took drastic decisions to curb - in a short period of time - the spread of the virus 🦠
📊 Since the number of local cases subsequently - progressively - dropped to single digits, the authorities assessed the situation, coordinated the prevention and control of the epidemic with economic and social development, promoting the resumption of work and production in a orderly, becoming the only country in the world to achieve positive economic growth at a time when all major economies were negative (❗️) - 📄 Source at the bottom
⚠️ "PEOPLE FIRST" AND "EPIDEMIC PREVENTION FIRST" ARE NOT THE SAME - PART 3 ⚠️
🏛 Today, faced with the gradual weakening of the danger of the virus and the changes in the transmission characteristics, the authorities are promoting the "Dynamic Compensation" and placing greater emphasis on the scientific precision of the Prevention and Control Plans, introducing 20 Measures to optimize Prevention and the Control.
🏥 What is "Dynamic Compensation"? - "The Dynamic Compensation policy means suppressing an outbreak whenever it occurs and doing it in a relatively short amount of time so that it does not lead to the spread of the virus in the community" - 📄 Source at the bottom
📊 In 2021, China's GDP grew by 8.1%, and the Average Growth Rate in 2020 and 2021 was 5.1%, making it the best economy during the COVID-19 period.
❗️"Recently, in the process of implementing the "Dynamic Compensation" in some places, due to problems of understanding, capabilities and methods, prevention and control policies have been deformed"
🏙 "Some places have different interpretations of the "Dynamic Compensation" policy and the "20 Measures", and have worked without respecting the authority of the Central Government (❗️). In the eyes of some people, Prevention and Control are methods of managing own "small ponds", rather than jointly manage the "big flowing river" - they do not reason according to the Principle of "I am responsible for the flow of the river, you are responsible for the management" 🌊
💥"In some areas, having 'hit the accelerator' or making sudden 'shifts and then stalls' has severely damaged the masses' desire for stability - in some places either there is a closure or everything is left go, there was no "organized combination" and no will to scientifically optimize the prevention and control process"
📄 "Epidemic prevention first" in some places has replaced "people first" - and people's lives as well as the economy - has been undervalued, giving - among other things - too much importance to COVID-19 and COVID -19 only, distorting the Principle "生命至上" - "life before everything else / life first" 🌱
❗️Some officials "intensified" prevention, did not observe the Laws and "20 Measures", and negatively faced the masses, which froze people's hearts 😔
📄 The existence of these problems cannot be ignored, but it is unrealistic to attribute it every time to the "Dynamic Compensation" policy, and the current Prevention and Control Plan is similar to a "Balance of Interests" - built according to the following logic
💭 "Recognize people's sustainment and economic values, realize an "Optimized Solution" in a Multi-Objective Equilibrium, adhere to the General Policy of "Dynamic Compensation", focus on gradual objectives, highlight scientific accuracy, and ensure that policies are not out of phase or deformed" 🔬
⭐️ "This process will test the governance skills of the Party and Government Committees at all levels, as well as the Wisdom and Responsibility of the Party cadres" 🇨🇳
📄 "However, the Prevention and Control policies cannot be completely denied just because deviations from the implementation of the correct Prevention and Control Policies have been detected in some areas, as it would be unreasonable, blind to Grand Logic and sighted in front of to the Little Logic of the Moment" - but this certain "free thinkers" and anti-system wolves turned sheep when it comes to China will never understand.
🗄 "In response to the lack of skills and working style of individual Prevention staff, it is necessary to report them and urge them to make corrections, but you cannot generalize everything and think that ALL Prevention staff are incompetent and detached from the masses" 🇨 🇳
⚠️ "PEOPLE FIRST" AND "EPIDEMIC PREVENTION FIRST" ARE NOT THE SAME - PART 4 ​​⚠️
📄 "Getting out of the fog of the COVID-19 epidemic is not something that can be solved by saying "forget it", "don't worry about it", "it's already there", as such discussions - present in the West (❗️ ) - they won't automatically solve problems.Sweeping the dust under the rug doesn't work in the long run, but some "freethinkers" in the West will never figure it out.
🔬 "Conscientiously analyzing the current conditions, and building on them a work to improve the ability to deal with problems, striving to manage everything correctly, these are the foundations for which we should fight" 🧬
🦠 "Why can't the virus "be let go" immediately, since the fatality rate is low? We need to take vaccination as an example: in China, vaccination is not mandatory, and the recall vaccination rate of the aged ≥ 80 is 40%, and the general immunity level of the whole population is not high" 📊
💬 "Right now, instead of getting caught up in the talk of "release", or even "closure", it is better to increase our level of vaccination, improve the production of medicines, build more intensive care beds and strengthen the services of home delivery of people, so as not to leave them alone", as happened in the West instead (❗️), with the privatization of the healthcare system of European countries.
📄 "It is necessary to unify the standards of the Health Code across the country as soon as possible, connect the results of new tests across the country, promote the experience of Smart Prevention and Control in more places to let more data flow to better analyze , and minimize the effects of the virus and people's problems" 📉
📄 "Some Party members are weak in their ability to do work in the spotlight. They either blindly avoid and dodge the concerns of the masses, or they talk a lot at press conferences, but the results do not reflect what the masses would like to hear" - as you can see, there is a strong spirit of self-criticism, related to the internal Party campaign (三严三实), namely "Three Statements of Honesty, Three Statements of Severity" 📑
🔊 "It is necessary to expose those who shy away from their responsibilities, expel them and promote those who are able to speak clearly and accurately - "站出来,给不确定的人更多的确定,让权威专业的声音说话" 🇨 🇳
📄 "There is only one purpose in the fight against the epidemic, and that is to benefit people and protect everyone's safety. With the development of the epidemic to date, every adjustment of the Prevention and Control Plan represents a step forward to success [...] For us, "Prevention and Control" is like sailing on a Big Ship carrying 1.4 billion people to the other side: sail, slow down, stop, tack - that's why the Prevention and Control Plan has been iterated from the First to the Ninth - and current - Edition, and the new editions will be more and more accurate" 🛳

This Black Friday was literally a black day of mourning for us Uyghurs today!
Uyghurs have been in a government sanctioned lockdown and starving for more then 100 days under the guise of Covid in East Turkistan. There was a fire in Urumchi on 11/24/2022 and because everyone’s doors are sealed shut, many families couldn’t escape. The streets were blocked and the fire truck couldn’t get closer for a long time therefore, more than 44 people died. The state media news tried to cover up the truth and said only 10 people died.
Now, those protesting this situation are on the streets getting shot! Concentration camps, prisons and forced labor camps are full so the CCP turned Uyghurs own houses into a prison, locking them in and starving them.
Please pray for Uyghurs

Some report about the recent events happening in China from English news media.
The New York Times: Protests Erupt in Shanghai and Other Chinese Cities Over Covid Controls
BBC: Covid protests widen in China after Urumqi fire
CNN: Protests erupt across China in unprecedented challenge to Xi Jinping’s zero-Covid policy
Reuters: Protests in Shanghai and Beijing as anger over China's COVID curbs mounts
The Guardian: Anti-lockdown protests spread across China amid growing anger at zero-Covid strategy
AP News: More anti-COVID protests in China triggered by deadly fire
The Wall Street Journal: Chinese Protests Spread Over Government’s Covid Restrictions
if you need more context, please view my early post:
or this tweet: (there is a complete timeline)
Tumblr media
Also I'd like to explain something mistaken by the English media that holding blank white paper while protesting was not mean for mourning or for funerals, but for pointing out that we were not allowed to speak the truth or express our opinion under such a authoritarian government. Everything posted online would be immediately censored and deleted and people would get punished.
Reblogging is very much appreciated. Thank you all so much.
祝大家自由,勇敢,平安。

China: Video shows BBC journalist's arrest during Covid protest, November 28, 2022
Video shared on social media shows the moment BBC journalist Edward Lawrence was arrested by Chinese authorities while covering an anti-lockdown protest in Shanghai. Lawrence was dragged away by police shouting "Call the Consulate, now." Protests over Covid restrictions have spread to several cities across China and were triggered by a deadly fire at a residential high-rise building in the city of Urumqi, in the country's western Xinjiang region. Videos of the incident posted on social media led to accusations that lockdowns were a factor in the blaze that killed 10 people

“He was held for several hours before being released,” a BBC Press Team statement said of Lawrence’s treatment by Shanghai police on Monday. “During his arrest, he was beaten and kicked by the police. This happened while he was working as an accredited journalist… We have no official explanation or apology from the Chinese authorities, beyond a claim by the offices who later released him that they had arrested him for his own good in case he caught Covid from the crowd.”
The public service broadcaster added that it did not consider the police explanation to be credible.
