They're clearly having millions of cases and just hiding it all

My wife informed me that 3 cases of Covid-19 had been found in Beijing recently, and that they've quarantined any potential contacts.

Out of curiosity, I asked "How many were quarantined?"

Her answer: 10,000.

I live in China, my city’s population is 20million, has 4 cases discovered on July 28th(all linked to that Russian flight leaking case), 1 of the cases is in my community, the community is shut down( shut down means no stepping foot outside home, the management company is in charge of delivering food for us and also collecting garbages twice per day, they also deliver free birthday cakes if someone happens to have birthday during the lockdown ), and we need to take 4 rounds of test(doctors come to your home to do it for you, so you don’t need to go out), 3 tests done so far, still 1 to go.

lol, chinas so drat good at fighting covid. we're down from like a hundred cases a day to 4 in like a month. I reallyy pity everyone who's not living in a covid 0 country. In BJ they went pretty nuts about the like 3 cases they found, but it was all traced immediately and didnt spread. Basically shops and malls push you to wear a mask more but theres no real change. China's become extremely competent at tracing exactly where breakouts happen and doing extremely localized lockdowns. Nice to have the police state actually working for the common good rather than just entrapping you like in the west

The experience over the years
of nothing getting better
only worse.
we (nz) got 1 community case on tuesday, went into a hard lockdown that night. as of tonight (saturday), there are 51 confirmed cases and around 10k close contacts in isolation.

zero covid is the only moral position, and the chinese method works... simple as that

yeah it’s pretty cool. there’s one confirmed case about 700 meters from my apartment so there’s a no go zone around that whole city block. it’s not technically locked down but if you set foot in there then your covid status qr code turns yellow immediately until you get tested. if your code is yellow instead of green then good luck doing anything, like taking the metro or going to work

preemptively taking harder stances against china to make it harder for right wing politicians to call them weak on china god loving damnit

quote:

The 2006 expose published by the London Institute of South Asia (http://www.lisauk.com/baluchistan.asp) features a fascinating interview with the two ex-KGB officers responsible for creating the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in 1980. According to the ex-KGB officers, the Soviets’ primary motivation was to create internal difficulties for Pakistan, which was funding, arming and training (with CIA oversight and support) the Mujaheddin guerrilla movement that was fighting the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

Soviet support for the BLA ended in 1989 when the Soviet Union collapsed. However the London Institute reports, based on their KGB sources and extensive interviews with local Balochi, that the CIA took over logistical support after the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. With the assistance of RAW (Indian intelligence) and RAD (Russian intelligence), in 2002 they set up the first BLA training camp for 30 Balochi youth, under the leadership of Moscow-trained electronics engineer Balach Marri, who used training manuals from the KGB archives. According to Canadian economist Michel Chossudovsky (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=7705), the operation is a replay of the CIA-financed Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which facilitated the break up of Yugoslavia and Serbia to create a US client state (Kosovo) adjacent to the oil-rich Caspian Sea basin.

didn't I tell you the CIA was funding Balochi insurgents and that they'd use this to attack B&R projects in Pakistan?

i noticed this funny bit in the article i posted

quote:

China is not to blame for the power and water shortages that have plagued Gwadar in recent weeks.

but i completely failed to notice that it never describes what the balochistan liberation army is despite spending paragraphs and paragraphs talking about how terrorism is good actually because china isnt developing the region fast enough

here in western australia, we've had largely 0 cases for ~1.5 years, due to our premier (governor) taking a fairly hardline stance at interstate border controls and lockdowns/restrictions (and our isolated location).

he was criticized heavily by our media (2/3rds of ours is owned by murdoch) and the liberal (conservative) federal government, but he got proved right and was so popular that during the last election, his poll numbers were so good that the conservative opposition conceded 3 weeks before and they ended up only with 2 seats (you need 5 seats to be considered a party in WA). the conservative leader lost his seat and resigned and labor won with a bigger margin than Lukashenko "won" Belarus lmao. we've been maskless for ages now.

should delta make it here he'll likely to stick to the fairly strict lockdown plans we used for the few outbreaks we had. i'm hoping it'll be enough but looking at NZ is making me nervous, considering yours looks about as strict or a maybe a little more.

He's a Christian evangelical that was in favor of the death penalty, spoke out against our LGBT equality bill (that still hasn't passed) and voted pretty down the line on Duterte's domestic policy

But he made some noises about how corrupt Duterte is the last few months cuz he's running for President next year

Uighur people are treated better in China than they are in Turkey. On several occasions, migrants from East Turkestan and their businesses (many of them Chinese restaurants) in Istanbul have been attacked by Turkish nationalists who thought they were Han Chinese people from China.
