Story at-a-glance
- The official policy in China is aimed at zero COVID cases in the country. They have locked down over 1 billion people to stop the spread of a virus from a family of cold viruses known to have an animal reservoir
- This means to achieve zero COVID China must kill every living animal, close all borders to people moving into or out of the country and change crews for all imports and exports on planes, trains and trucks to completely isolate the people
- The goal is likely not zero COVID since one government adviser told a reporter, “eventually everyone will have to live with the virus.” In the meantime, people are starving in their homes, their pets are beaten to death, food is being thrown away and adults and children are being force vaccinated in their homes and on the street
- Roughly 26 million Shanghai residents, 1 out of 3 of whom are elderly, have been unable to go to the store or get medication starting March 28, 2022, and if they test positive, they are forced to quarantine in metal cubicle cities without temperature control or running water in their hut
Official Chinese policy is aimed at zero COVID cases, infections or deaths in the country.1 To that end, they locked down more than half of the country’s largest cities,2 including 26 million people in Shanghai.
As a way to put the scale of what’s happening in China into perspective, CNBC3 took a look at the numbers as they relate to the financial center of Shanghai. The city is home to the world’s busiest port and the lockdowns have forced roughly three times as many people as live in New York City to stay home, undergo mass viral testing, and in some cases to be forced vaccination.4
While their official permanent resident population in 2020 was 24.9 million,5 some believe it now is near 26 million.6 But that’s just 1.8% of the total population of the country.7 Shanghai accounts for 7.3% of exports from the country and 14.4% of imports. Many of these exports come from the semiconductor manufacturing center in Shanghai and many automobile manufacturers also have plants in Shanghai.
It’s also a major center for many multinational corporations, including P&G, Nike, General Electric and Apple. Each of these corporations and industries, as well as the goods produced and exported, are affected by these lockdowns, which cannot stem the spread of this virus.
It is crucial to know and understand what is happening to the people of China as internet censors are removing information8 and mainstream media are not covering the extent of the issue. Much of the surveillance and data gathering that support these brutal attacks on the people come from a QR code system9 that has been in place since February 2020.
Individuals must download the app on their phones to go to stores or ride public transportation. Without approval from the system, people are locked out. The system monitors activities and reports them directly to the police,10 an action that is not widely known or understood. This is the type of vaccine passport system some would like to be released around the world.
Chinese Government Claims Measures Are to Achieve Zero COVID
COVID-19 made its first appearance in Wuhan, China, before 9,000 military athletes from all over the world went to Wuhan to participate in the 2019 World Military Games, creating a super spreader event.11,12
Officially, the Chinese government has a zero-COVID policy, which they describe as “the only way forward,” as reported by The Washington Post.13 According to the Post:
“Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said last week that the reason other countries didn’t follow this approach is because they were simply unable — unlike China.
Other countries had no choice but to “lie down” and accept the virus, but “dynamically clearing” remains the best option for China, he said.”
The zero COVID policy is unachievable with what we know about the virus and it is unthinkable that the Chinese government officials and health experts are unaware of the facts that make their goal unrealistic. It’s unbelievable that they are unaware the measures they put in place to achieve that goal are brutal and insupportable.
The COVID-19 virus comes from a family of viruses that commonly cause the common cold.14 These viruses have an animal reservoir, which we also know to be true about SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.15,16 This means that when the virus is not infecting people, it is infecting animals. It’s apparent the Chinese government knows this by some of the actions they’ve been taking.
Yet, while they believe household pets may carry the virus and spread it, they are not extending their measures to address the billions of wildlife that exist in the country with similar potential to carry the virus, even though they claim the virus first originated in a bat.
To reasonably achieve zero COVID in China, it would require killing every animal in the country and completely closing the borders to any travel in or out, including import of goods, unless those products were stopped at the border and a different crew took over the truck, plane, or train.
In other words, using the Chinese government’s logic, China must be separated from the rest of the world. However, like all mass measures against millions of people, some information gets out. I must warn you that the rest of this article details just some of the atrocities being perpetrated on the people of China and the videos supporting these claims are disturbing to watch.
26 Million People Confined to Their Homes in Shanghai
To put what follows into perspective, April 18, 2022, Reuters17 reported that Shanghai had experienced three deaths from the Omicron variant, which we now know produces no more than mild cold symptoms in most people.18 Reportedly, this was their first deaths in Shanghai of patients with COVID-19 in the current outbreak.
Shanghai continues to report asymptomatic COVID cases as well as symptomatic illnesses and has conducted more than 200 million nucleic acid tests since March 10, 2022. This all is an effort to achieve a zero COVID country. Yet, in an interview with government adviser Dr. Ivan Hung, ABC News19 learned that “eventually everyone will have to live with the virus,” which is far from having a zero-COVID state.
A phased lockdown in Shanghai began March 28, 2022, but by April 5, 2022, 26 million residents were under the single biggest citywide restrictions since the pandemic began.20 These lockdowns forced residents to stay in their homes and did not allow them to visit the grocery store to replenish food or to get medication from the pharmacy.
This affected hundreds of thousands of elderly in the city, which experts estimate account for nearly one-third of the Shanghai population.21 The South China Morning Post22 tells the plight of one elderly couple who, like others in their position, live alone and keep less than a week’s worth of food at home.
At the start of the lockdown, the couple began rationing the food they had, hoping to make it through the lockdown or until government supplies could reach their home. Their daughter was also quarantined, and the couple were unable to use smartphones because of their eyesight.
In their case, a young couple in the compound began organizing help for all the elderly residents to get them food and supplies. But not every isolated older individual had this help. This video shows people trying to break out of a compound, shouting “We are starving!”23
Despite the strain on the city’s logistics and delivery system that impacted food shortages, a video released on social media shows large quantities of fruits and vegetables delivered to a warehouse where they were opened and shoveled directly into garbage bins.24
One online list of people who have died because of the restrictions was deleted by the Chinese Communist Party-backed censors. Radio Free Asia25 reports that although a user saved it to a blockchain-based site, the URL was blocked. The site claimed more than 152 deaths were directly linked to the zero COVID restrictions and that these were “incomplete numbers.”
Among the names were a former official at the Hongkau district maternal and child health center after he committed suicide, a nurse who died from an asthma attack, the vice president of NETCOM Securities, who died from a stroke, and several suicides of people who died jumping from tall buildings.26
Brutality Used to Enforce Quarantine Orders and Vaccinations
After testing positive, residents are not allowed to quarantine in their homes, but are transported to quarantine camps where they are packed into metal cell cities quickly erected around Shanghai. One shown on ABC News27 had 3,900 beds and was built in one week.
Residents who are unwilling to be transported to camps without adequate facilities, temperature control, or food are brutally grabbed off the street.28 The Guardian29 reported that in early April 2022, 30 hospitals across the city suspended operations.
In other words, as the government told their citizens they feared a rising number of cases and deaths, they also suspended operations at hospitals. Individuals began taking to social media to ask for help. The Guardian30 reported that one resident wrote “I’m not able to buy food. I have nothing left in my fridge. My neighborhood has been sealed off. I don’t know what to do.” And another:
“Our 90-year-old has diabetes. Before the lockdown, our doctor prescribed to us some medication to use at home because all the nurses were asked to help with Covid tests. Suddenly, Pudong was shut down, and we were unable to get the medication at all. Then we bought it online, but the delivery company was unable to send it to us because they are not delivering anything now.”
The cruelty against the citizens of China has not ended with the quarantine restrictions and the dangers associated with it. The Chinese government is anxious for all citizens to be vaccinated. To that end, they are hunting down people in the street31 and forcibly vaccinating adults and children.32
Sometimes they have broken into people’s homes.33 In one video, you can hear a child screaming in fear while the adults are laughing.34 According to The Washington Post,35 critics of the restrictions of lockdown, brutality and starvation consider these concerns to be an unavoidable cost of mass restrictions and no longer necessary since nearly 90% of the country is vaccinated.
Yet, officials continue to tell the citizens that relaxing restriction policies would lead to “an unsustainable surge in death.”36 However, despite more than 350,000 people who tested positive since March 1, 2022, either the country has discovered a cure, or the Omicron variant is really just a mild illness since only three unvaccinated people ages 89 to 91 have died, each of whom had preexisting medical conditions.
Shanghai Lockdown Adding Pressure to Global Supply Chain
In addition to the crimes against humanity, it’s also important to recognize the economic damage caused by the citywide lockdown and the congestion in the port of Shanghai. The Epoch Times37 reports this lockdown will likely cause disruptions in logistics that will eventually exacerbate the global supply chain challenges, which began at the start of the pandemic.
One U.S. financial expert told The Epoch Times this could create greater inflationary pressure in the U.S. since Shanghai plays a crucial role in the manufacturing industry and exports to America. One survey done by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai shows 167 U.S. companies that conduct business in Shanghai have lowered their forecasted revenues.
A shortage of staff, no raw materials and slower production have impacted the manufacture and distribution of goods. The U.S. imports more than 15% of its products from China and will likely continue to feel the pinch of rising prices.
Pets Are Not Exempt in a Police State
Public criticism is also aimed at officials who are killing pets when owners are testing positive for the virus.38 Radio Free Asia reported the efforts of one Shanghai resident, Ji Xiaolong, who published a petition to authorities in Beijing while under lockdown.
After this he was warned about speaking out in public, but spoke to a Radio Free Asia reporter saying, “I hope my petition will be placed on Xi Jinping’s desk,” and that he has been taking multiple phone calls every minute from people across China since the petition was posted.
The petition followed closely on the heels of video footage of enforcement personnel beating a Corgi dog on the side of the road after the owner was taken away, having tested positive for COVID-19.
Radio Free Asia39 reports that in the video, one member of the local neighborhood committee said he poisoned the dog and then handed it over to the committee. This is only one example of pets in the city that have been abused and killed when their owners test positive for COVID-19.
After the incident, the committee responded: “At that time, the workers did not consider (the matter) very comprehensively. We will communicate with the owner and offer compensation later.”40
In another video, you can see six enforcers with long metal poles beating a very small dog to death41 and a third shows at least nine bags filled with pet cats on the curbside waiting to be killed.42
It isn’t difficult to imagine how locking down and starving residents, forcing vaccinations on children and adults, and abusing and destroying people’s pets is one more way of manipulating and controlling people to bow to the will of the elite.
One comment on Twitter seems to sum it up “Fear and hunger turn into bravery and anger against injustice. Ignorance and blind obedience turn into brutality and inhumanity.”

It clearly isn’t about health.
In China, tuberculosis has been the number 1 cause of death from infectious disease in adults. In 1990, 360,000 people in China died from tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is one of China’s major public health problems. According to the 2015 WHO estimates, China has the world’s third largest number of tuberculosis cases, behind only India and Indonesia, comprising around 10% of the world total.[4] Of the 37 notifiable communicable diseases in China, tuberculosis ranks first in terms of notified cases and deaths.[5] Despite the serious nature of this disease, the country’s progress in tuberculosis control was slow during the 1990s and early part of the new millennium.
Political retribution? Intentional Democide? Following orders and leading the way for the global cabal/NWO?
Nothing make sense about China’s reaction to a mild flu. So, what is the real purpose?
Prepping the Lumpen for the worldwide Soylent Yellow/Red/Green/White/Black/Brown …. revolution.
And as a bonus: anal schwab testing for “pestilences” are about to make a yuge comeback.
BOHICA!
China’s financial system is imploding. The cement and rebar Yuan has to be protected from the property market bubble being popped. Shanghai is the financial center of China and therefore ground zero for property market collapse. If they shut Shanghai down they can defer collapse.
It’s a playbook used in the USA from Sep 2019 – Mar 2020 using China as guilty agent. Overnight lending between banks seized up during Sep 2019 and bond market collapse was imminent so Mnunchin and Trump during 6 months printed up USD $17.66 TRILLION and through the REPO program bought back US Treasuries and other assorted junk financial instruments from the banks to provide “liquidity”. It was the world’s biggest bail-out by the King of Debt. If the USA economy had continued as “normal” such a massive infusion of money would have triggered hyperinflation so both demand and supply had to be quashed until banks repurchased these Treasuries and junk assets. Funny how COVID hit just after what should have been Great Depression 2.0 – Sep 2019 liquidity freezes up, Oct 2019 Wuhan Military Games (USA comes in 35th – NBC biologists evidently make bad athletes), Nov 2019 comes 1st images of Chinese collapsing on streets of strange new disease (which never happened in USA during “pandemic” but lots of people still collapsed from fentanyl overdoses in WalMart), Dec 2019 Chinse isolate “virus” from in solico simulation and declare SARS-CoV-2, Jan 2020 comes WHO announcement of SARS-CoV-2 “pandemic”, in Feb 2020 US congress starts selling its stock portfolio, and Mar 2020 comes 1st US “pandemic” response just as REPO winds down.
There is no confirmation that the banks repurchased their Treasuries and junk financial instruments and instead they may have gone on a speculative stock purchasing spree that drove tech to insane P/Es. If this REPO money was not closed out on the Treasury’s books then this could be the true genesis of all the inflation beginning to look like hyper-inflation we are seeing today, not supply chain hiccups. This money went on the Treasury’s books, not the Fed’s so it looks like ol’ Dufus Trump was not only played by the NIH / CDC / Big Pharma but was also played by the banksters. Or equally likely he was in on it – either way MAGA yeah right. There is no clarity on part of Treasury regarding REPO unwind so they are hiding something which means they are hiding some systemic problem. Stock doom loop is baked in if banks holding shares bought with REPO money as if they don’t closeout REPO positions hyperinflation commences and economy collapses. If they do begin closing out REPO positions then they have to sell stocks which triggers stock collapse and they then can’t close out REPO positions. It is one gigantic financial clusterfuck.
So if banks haven’t closed out REPO positions there will likely be another supply and demand killing USA lockdown but that will be preceded by some new bank bailout hocus pocus thet they will use to buy and re-inflate stock prices so they can sell high and close out old REPO position and kick can down road on new bailout positions. Either way we are left holding the bag through bailouts or inflation.
The Fed has to go or this will only get worse to the point they are confiscating everything we own and throwing us into slave labor camps.
Wow.
Great, great comment!
Ice- Numerous cities in China are in full or partial lockdown. They are hiding the economic bust, yes, but the goal in todays world is to depop to the max and meet the goals set forth by our friends at the WEF. To say they have imprisoned millions of Chinese in starvation to keep Shanghai’s money problems secret is scratching the surface.
They have 8 years to off most of a billion and a half people, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
China axed its one child policy which I bet was one of its antes to gain admittance to the WTO just 6 weeks after 9/11. They are also buying coal like crazy and seemed to have given the globalists the middle finger until recently. I’m more inclined to think they are trying to play for time to prevent a financial collapse initiated by a property value collapse.
That said they are expected to have a horrendous harvest this year as much farm land is under water and brokers are buying up every bit of physical food they can get. CCP claims to have 1 years of food supply but they are bigger liars than USA .gov so that probably means 1 year supply for CCP officials.
We’ll see how things unfold as China has long 2,500 year history of very violent and bloody peasant revolts and are about due for another one.
They can’t off too many. They need an army of 200 million to cross the Euphrates.
They will always have enough since they breed like rats.
Excellent analysis. Thank You.
I think China is using Covid theater as cover for preparing war with NATO. I do not think they desire war, but they know there are no rational actors in the West and Taiwan is ripe for re-unification.
The history is sketchy, as to the arrival of “those who say they are, but are not” virus in china. Kaifeng. Clearly, The 1 and 1/3 are picking up stakes and moving from the u.s. to there. Henan province is chock full of surprise and intrigue.
His time is short, hence the acceleration. And the fun has not yet begun here in earnest. “Pray that it is not in the winter or on the Sabbath”, When ‘they’ look to the rocks to hide them from the wrath of the lamb.
Based on the observable reality rather than the narrative it would appear that this is simply an inducement to propel the rapidly escalating Sino-African diaspora.
A fact rarely, if ever mentioned, when discussions of the ChiComs rolls around.
Two choicey, you stay locked up or you go dark continent.
I am going to have to learn about solar, after all.
Oh, it’s about Covid, I see.
Well then it must be true.
One thing for sure – anyone trying to harm my pets – will not end well for them. We are now in a world where psychopaths and sociopaths run the roost – prepare accordingly
Chinese subjects don’t care about their family (kids and pets) because they are cowards and too lazy to do anything to protect themselves even.
TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN SHANGHI THESE BRUTES THAT ARE KID KNAPPING YOU AND YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS NEED TO DISAPPEAR EVERY TIME THEY SHOW THERE FACES IN PUBLIC IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE THEY GO BUT JUST THAT THEY NEVER RETURN REPORT OR CONTINUE THERE EVIL MISSION THERE ARE SO FEW OF THEM AND SOOOOO MANY OF YOU THAT THEY CAN DISAPPEAR WITH OUT A TRACE NEVER TO TO BE SEEN AGAIN
Problem is the men have been gelded and turned into weakling beta men, and cannot think logically.
China has no reverse gear on Covid – just like the US has no reverse gear on NATO expansion and the destruction of Russia.
Anything from China may have a virus on it, so stop imports from China. If we’re going full wacky doodle.
It does make one wonder whether these actions by China, including their roll out and use of the social credit score, isn’t a test of how compliant the masses will be in a totalitarian dictatorship. The Chinese people do not understand the concept of freedom because they have never experienced it over the last several generations and we can see how compliance has been bred into every corner of their society. Given the actions here in the U.S. to indoctrinate and tear down individualism and self determination… if you are playing the long game… how many generations will have to pass before U.S. citizens will also quietly submit to complete control? It is clearly where we are heading without a massive disruption to TPTB plans…which is a world wide police state monitored by A.I. and machine learning technology.
That’s, of course, assuming that we can avoid this drive towards nuclear annihilation by Sleepy Joe and the Neocons that seem to think they are immune to radioactivity.
It’s terrifying! Especially when we see western governments copy China in many ways.
But the CCP has always been brutal.
Although they’ve scrubbed it from their internet we in the west still have access to the brutal Tianamin square massacre in 1989. Those of us old enough remember it clearly.
Communist China was birthed in brutal purging and genocide of intellectuals, philosophers, writers, artists etc etc.
millions of people were killed.
So it’s really no surprise that CCP is brutally murdering their people again.
You need to go to Mitchell Masters web site, it will explain why all this is happening. If you are a techi see Him Broussard site.
Masters is a what??? His site: “I’m 17 now and I love to build Lego…this is the largest lego I have ever built…it took 6 straight hours.”
I saw that one too, kid looked like Peter Chris from Kiss. Enter “China” after his name.
After all the lockdowns and disinfecting takes place throughout China, prediction is resurgence of sickness, virus, etc…why?
Because china does not excel in cleanliness. Just the opposite.
Maybe a virus is a byproduct of human weakness, not an invisible pathogen that floats around looking for otherwise healthy people to sicken and kill.
Mental illness in China- can’t think clearly/ use logic /fight back/, failure to protect self and family from these police thugs is definitely an issue.
They did it 2 ways… By the barrel of a gun and by death camps
I believe Steve Bannon states it best: The CCP is a transnational criminal organization. Hoping their citizens get tired of this and slaughter every last one of these Godless sociopaths.
Theywon’t get tired, they seem to condone it by not ressiting.
which is why when the people have a means of defense, this foolishness would not last long.
Yeah, right. I don’t see shit being done about anything as we creep towards the same society as China
The complete fiction that is publicly known as “politics” is based on a real story where there are disagreements about whether the kettle is being heated too slowly or too rapidly.
majority in the U.S. will comply w/ tyranny,because public schools have ruined several generations,not teaching them history. Parents are nihilists and could care less, since their generation is no different than their kids..
Gee if they do this to their own people, I wonder if they would hesitate to nuke us?
If they thought they could blame it on Russia, our own government would nuke us.
The people are willingly complying to lockdowns, no real men to stand up.
The Chinese people are dumbed down to the max, lack critical thinking skills and failto use logic and cannot solve their basic issues and resist the control freaks. Men aren’t real men but cowardly wussies, who could band together and fight the police and not comply with these mandates. They are passive slaves and could care less about protecting their family or friends. what losers.
if the 26 million chineese peasants had guns……..at least there would be a discussion ONE WAY OR THE OTHER!
The Chinese could form groups and take down the police. There are other weapons (kitchen knives) other than guns, use them then grab the guns
Why don’t they lock down the CCP and their enfarcers??? Anybody thought of that?? The Chinese and the world would be way better off.
Another crock of shit article about the nature of viruses. Biology101- Viruses are not a living thing. They have no nucleus or respiratory system. Viruses are terrain dependent and come from within, not from without. All this nonsense about spreading viruses comes from the lie of GERM theory. We all have viruses that are called upon when the bodies cells become TOXIC, so then the body calls upon it’s own viruses to purge out toxins, which is what a cold and flu does! People need to take personal responsibility and stop blaming an invisible viruse that doesn’t exist, never having been isolated, verified, or purified! It’s dimwits that writes these lies, keeping the fear mongering going and fools to be controlled by things that are just not true.
You kill my dog. I will kill you.
Sadly because the hard working Chinese person does not own a firearm.
You cannot kung fu a bullet.
This is What The Communist Satanic Luciferian Kabbalist are….plain and simple.
Complete Genocide. No one gets out alive. One day it will…happen here. With 60 million legalized plus Abortions (sanctioned murder btw) in the 50 years. The LORD GOD Almighty will pull the plug in this Country and when he does all Hell will break loose.
