  1. Shanghai is in a big mess now, and hope the Chinese Gov will do a better job for Beijing.Here Shanghai resident is very angry with authorities for fencing up his residence in this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6uBeYWxcN8

  2. Why not show the footage of citizen's pets being confiscated & bagged up in the streets? Or the footage of the police placing barbed wire in apartment buildings to keep citizens inside? Or the footage of police destroying citizen's personal gardens? Or the footage of citizens begging to be arrested just so they can eat? Or the footage of citizens screaming behind locked fences that they're starving, only to be ignored? Where's the MSM coverage?!!

  3. It's ridiculous, outdated and excessive to be still implementing total lockdowns more than 2 years into the pandemic when vaccines that can reduce the risk of severe covid illness have been available for more than a year and when dealing with a covid omicron variant which is milder compared to previous variants. Covid is here to stay. That's why the whole world has accepted the new reality of living with covid. Only China seems to be stuck in the past. With preventive measures (mask mandates, fysical distancing, ventilation of indoor spaces, testing, vaccination and boosting of vulnerable/at risk people) in place during a covid wave society and economy can stay open without hospitals getting overwhelmed with sick covid patients and without those damaging total lockdowns.

  4. China made the disease, is that why they’re so afraid of it?

  5. Media preparing us for new lockdowns in Europe, nice

  6. Which one is a more humane way of dealing with the pandemic? Letting the vulnerable groups fall victim to Covid-19 and die (including the elderly, those with chronic preconditions, the unvaccinated children, some of whom can be your beloved ones), or doing your very best to save every life by undertaking the proven dynamic zero policy.

    America has made its choice to let a million people die. China has made its choice and saved several million lives!

  7. I hate totalitarianism, defend the constitution, defend western democracy from this tyranny. True colors are showing.

  8. this time the Chinese are in a hurry! they forgot to film with the actors who fell on their heads when Covid appeared! this time they put people in the house for no reason because they no longer have videos with people falling on the street! now they put people in jail for no reason!

  9. Their government started this whole Coronavirus I hope they all suffer

  10. Get ready midterms are right around the corner! They need those mail in ballots and ballot harvesting votes.

  11. And people thought songbird was just a movie. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  12. Que horror, una cosa que ni existe.

  13. What do they do with all the homeless people?

  14. Hopefully this doesn’t reach The U.S. smh 🤦🏻 this is craziness all over again

  15. Coming to American and Canada soon! Is everyone looking forward to this? It's the plan of the WHO for the New World Order. Are you excited? They won't talk about it on the news but we are soon to be going through good shortages and forced to do mass testing soon. I PROMISE.

  16. Is everyone in the world on their phone all the time?

  17. We are going to die by government not by covid

  18. Communism, the gift that keeps on giving. 🎁

  19. CCP is pushing people to extreme, mostly for not losing face and for "reelect" Mr. Xi this year.

  20. This virus has been a test run and from what I've seen people are more than willing to believe what they're told and give rights away…

  21. This is Texas's Greg Abbott goal.

  22. it's like catching the wind, need to ride it like a kite, protect the elders and immunocompromised ppl and let it rip, so the young and healthy can achieve herd immunity, and protect the rest with low defense, 0 approach is impossible, even though u can be achieved by strict lockdown, will come back once is open, and the cycle will take longer a longer path and damaging the economy even further, this strain cannot be contained, ppl need to boost their defense, either by vaccination or natural immunity, darwin law.

  23. This is Bidens and Trudeaus goal
