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:

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.

COVID rapidly spreads in China as government eases strict quarantine rules, December 27, 2022

China is grappling with the rapid spread of COVID-19 after the government began rolling back its zero-COVID restrictions earlier this month. Now, cases are spiraling across towns and cities, hospitals are overburdened, medical staff are outnumbered and crematoriums are running out of space. Judy Woodruff reports.

PBS NewsHour

There is no nuance left in politics or public health policy when there is either an absolute and strict inflexibility of zero COVID or wholesale dismantling of safeguards before the healthcare or support systems are prepared for the waves that have been forcibly suppressed. The political insistence on using their own less effective, non-mRNA vaccines based on the original strains rather than Delta or Omicron, coupled with a low vaccination rate of the vulnerable and elderly is not helping easing the transition at all.

The way they’ve been counting mortality from COVID diverged from nearly every other country since early 2020. A death had to be directly attributable to SARS-CoV-2 eliminating cases of many preexisting or undiagnosed conditions, chronic illnesses, and other high risk factors that may have been exacerbated by the virus which became listed as the direct cause or if they simply tested negative in the few days before dying. The policy as of this week will further limit the count only to deaths caused by pneumonia or respiratory failure after contracting COVID, in addition to dropping much of the remaining inbound quarantines and regular case counts becoming even more inconsistent with lived reality.

It appears the PRC was prepared to stay in suspended animation within an onionskin of self-isolation layers indefinitely, maintaining the appearance of control and adherence to policy that was left to different local officials to execute. Downgrading the classification removes the local, emergency-style powers to lockdown and quarantine which were used capriciously. Residential buildings, offices and commercial areas such as malls, and even theme parks could be suddenly cordoned without warning, causing panic due to the stringency of testing and knock-on effects if a positive case was found rather than fear of having contacted or contracted the virus. Becoming listed as a close contact or a complete stranger’s positive result could mean further quarantining and repeated testing, as well any change in one’s COVID passport status severely restricting mobility for work or education, travel, or even basic necessities. The protests spread because “dynamic zero” was anything but dynamic, refusing to change or amend course in preparation for a transition to an endemic or post-epidemic state. People were simply fed up and the building momentum was becoming a potential danger to a regime that had just renewed its own political mandates.

These things aren’t happening in isolation, China is also changing tact on its travel restrictions domestically and internationally. The Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau have been trying to reopen ports and travel with the Mainland for years now for travel and economic reasons. Both were forced into accepting one-way policies where it was difficult for their citizens to enter China or even between one another, while rules were softened for travelers and politicians entering from and returning to the Mainland for short trips with the reason that the pandemic was less well-contained than within the Mainland.

As news of the highly visible current outbreak within China is continuing to emerge, the Hong Kong SAR is now proudly announcing agreements have been made with the Mainland to drop their travel restrictions posthaste. It’s being reported that many are travelling specifically for mRNA vaccines which are approved in Macau and Hong Kong.

Pretty rich of the US news media to spend months maligning China’s covid lockdowns and attempts to quell transmission, only to clutch their pearls now that restrictions are lifting and a deluge of cases is expected. “Oh how terrible millions could die!” bro shut up isn’t that exactly what you wanted? After all it’s what we did here

Big Blow to China as lockdown protests spread to campuses and cities abroad

Big Blow to China as lockdown protests spread to campuses and cities abroad

Protests against China’s strict zero-COVID policy and restrictions on freedoms have spread to at least a dozen cities worldwide in solidarity with rare displays of defiance in China over the weekend. According to a Reuters tally, expatriate dissidents and students staged small-scale vigils and protests in cities around the world, including London, Paris, Tokyo and Sydney. In most cases, dozens…

A message for U.S. conservatives about Covid:

If you believed that the “Wuhan red death China virus” was manufactured as a bio weapon to commit genocide and take over the world (or at least the U.S.); why wouldn’t you protect yourself from it? I know you also believe the vaccines were manufactured by the communist authoritarian red Chinese as a bio weapon too, but do you know how frustrating it is to be surrounded by people who have the facts so twisted that they refuse to care about millions of people dying? Ask yourself which U.S. political party are the real authoritarians; the ones who want you to protect yourself and others from the pandemic, or the ones who want you to work for the “economy” that you know damn well will never trickle down. You can’t work when you are sick or taking care of sick family members, so who’s trying to protect the “economy” here?

actual leftists don’t like big pharma, stop fucking accusing whoever you think “the left” is of that. NOBODY ever fucking said there weren’t conflicts of interest involved in the handling of this pandemic, but that’s not a reason to stop trying to protect yourself and others. I will never forget how easily this got politicized. Please consider the possibility that it is you who have been brainwashed.

I know we are basically out of the pandemic stage where I live (cases, deaths, hospitalizations, are all WAY WAY DOWN in my state thank GOD), but I just had to get this out of my system because if we don’t have closure and fully process what happened then it will happen again.

As frustrated demonstrators take to the streets across China to protest the government's draconian COVID-19 restrictions -- prompting rare civil unrest and clashes between the public and officials -- the Biden White House is choosing its words carefully and deliberately.

Top US officials who have been closely monitoring the unrest in China have made two things clear in the past few days: that the Biden administration supports any people's right to peacefully protest and that it simply does not see China's so-called zero-COVID policy as a sound approach.

But administration officials have been careful not to step beyond the contours of those public comments, carefully stepping around broader questions about the US's assessment of the situation or its potential future role in supporting the Chinese people's cries for more freedom.

That sensitivity and caution is in no small part a reflection of the deeply complicated -- and tenuous -- place that US-Chinese relations currently stand. The two countries' relationship had reached its lowest point in decades this year, with tensions fueled by the standoff over Taiwan, economic disputes and other areas of disagreements.

A senior US official emphasized to CNN that the White House is being careful not to overstate the nature of the protests, noting that while there have been some calls for Xi Jinping to step down, as of now, most of the protests in the country of over one billion people seem small, localized and aimed more at the narrow goals of ending the COVID lockdowns and securing better working conditions than a loftier push for democracy.

"We have to be very careful of not creating a distorted reality," the official said.

A historic bilateral meeting between President Joe Biden and Xi earlier this month on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia -- the first in-person meeting between the two men since Biden took office -- was aimed at marking a starting point of sorts in trying to strengthen those strained relations.

And while that meeting, which spanned more than three hours, hardly resolved some of the longest standing issues between the two superpowers, Biden and top officials made clear afterward that there was general agreement on the importance of keeping lines of communications open between Washington and Beijing -- and finding area of common ground.

"It was not an easy meeting," another senior US official told CNN, "but they both understood that they represent countries with very different views of the world, which need to manage competition responsibly." Other officials said the US and China relationship at least now had a "floor," with both countries in relative agreement on issues like climate change and the danger of Russia using a nuclear weapon.

This week, the White House has insisted that the administration intends to continue building on that progress.

"There's been no change to our desire to continue to see these channels of communication stay open, and we were heartened coming away from the G20 that both leaders were able to agree on getting some of these working-level discussions back open," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in the White House briefing room on Monday.

The first senior US official said that there have been "zero concessions" to China since the Biden-Xi meeting took place, but acknowledged that both countries have backed into their respective corners when it comes to openly hostile rhetoric — a deliberate approach to avoid a continued deterioration in relations.

A separate senior administration official said, however, that, "To us, this is not about the US-China relationship. This is about the fundamental right of peaceful protests and the ability of the protestors to speak for themselves. We are watching this closely."

Asked by one reporter whether the protests in China may mark a moment for the US to "more forcefully" advocate for freedom and democracy -- particularly given how forcefully Biden has spoken out about the important distinction between autocracy and democracy both at home and abroad -- Kirby responded: "This is, I think, a moment to reassert what we believe in when it comes to free assembly and peaceful protest."

"And we've done that and will continue to do that," Kirby continued, "whether it's people protesting in Iran or China or anywhere else around the world."

What Kirby didn't mention was that Biden himself has weighed in much more forcefully on the unfolding protests in Iran -- even saying at a campaign event earlier this month: "We're going to free Iran. They're going to free themselves pretty soon."

Officials argued to CNN, however, that in the White House's view, the protests in Iran and in China are not comparable, at least for now. In Iran, the regime is routinely killing protesters, who themselves are fighting for a largely unified goal: an end to the Islamic Republic, following the deaths of women in the custody of Iran's so-called "morality police." Still, White House officials do view the protests in China as remarkable because they are evidence that Beijing's total information blackout is cracking, a senior official said.

Asked to elaborate on how the US is weighing the protests in China given the context of the tenuous Washington-Beijing relationship -- and what role the US believes it might play as people in China call out for more freedom -- one senior administration official said it would be best, for now, to leave the answer to that question of: "We are watching this closely."

DIFFICULTY ASSESSING SCOPE OF PROTESTS

While Biden administration officials have been closely monitoring the situation on the ground for several days, one US official acknowledged it was still difficult to assess the scope and scale of what was taking place on the ground. The early stage nature of the protests, along with the inherent unpredictability of such events, has played a role into the nature of the response, the official said.

But so, too, has the concern that, shared by several top senior Biden national security team officials, that appearing to lean toward the protesters would actually have the effect of undercutting what's taking place. The concern that Chinese officials would use any US response as an effort to paint the protests as a malign foreign effort to undermine China has been a closely considered factor, a senior administration official said.

White House officials have kept explicit and intentional distance from the more fiery calls from protesters related to Xi and the communist party. There is no plan to shift that position, part of an implicit acknowledgment of a reality that carries bilateral and geopolitical consequences of enormous significance.

Still, the White House has continued to monitor events closely -- and Biden has been kept regularly updated -- as US officials attempt to assess how the protests will progress and, perhaps more importantly, how Chinese officials will respond should the effort grow in size and intensity.

US officials have declined to weigh in on what actions, if any, would be taken if a particularly harsh crackdown comes in the days or weeks ahead. "We're not doing hypotheticals right now," one official said. "We're watching closely and just don't have anything more than that."

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.
