From: Shenzhen Daily Updated: 2022-03-13 22:03
Shenzhen will suspend bus and Metro services across the city between Monday and March 20, the city’s COVID-19 prevention and control command office announced this evening.



All housing estates, urban villages and industrial parks will be placed under closed-off management during the period. Residents are urged not to leave the city under nonessential circumstances. Those who have to leave the city must present negative test results issued within 24 hours, according to the office.



The city will ensure ample supplies of daily necessities at stable prices.



The measures will cover the whole city and remain valid until March 20, after which adjustments will be made according to the new situation, the office said.

In its latest move to curb the spread of COVID-19 virus, Shenzhen will conduct three rounds of citywide nucleic acid tests between Monday and March 20, according to a notice issued by Shenzhen COVID-19 Prevention and Control Command Office this evening.



All people in the city are required to take the tests. Residents are advised to pay close attention to the time periods for tests in their respective neighborhoods and take precautions when going out for nucleic acid samplings. Residents are required to go back to their residences immediately after having the swab samples taken.



Employees of government departments and public institutions are required to work from home, or serve as volunteers at their communities.



Employees of enterprises, except those responsible for the supplies of daily essentials like water, electricity, fuel, gas, communications, food and public sanitation, are also required to work from home, or suspend production and operation activities. Business venues, except supermarkets selling daily necessities (including the agricultural produce markets), pharmacies, medical institutions, catering enterprises that provide takeout services, will be closed.



The measures will cover the whole city and remain valid until March 20, after which adjustments will be made according to the new situation, the office said.

Shanghai is back to temperature checks at the door of shops and enforcement of mask rules - before this you'd see like 60/40 masks for people walking on the street. Transit is still going, and recommendations to WFH.

Went out walking yesterday and saw one apartment complex where they'd put up construction barriers and had Tyvek suited folks handing out groceries - but still saw people going in and out. I live a bit south of the area where the cases started, but outside that and a handful of stores that had tamper-proof police tape on the doors.

all these fantasies of the US winning a war against China always descend into "and the Chinese people rose up and overthrew the Chinese government, and the new, freedom-loving democratic government sued for peace" because they know deep down that a country of 299 million people cannot dictate terms to a country of 1,400 million people short of being willing to commit a nuclear holocaust (that would be visited back upon them in return, because China is a nuclear power

it's also incredibly historically ignorant to assume that this new, democratic China would be willing to balkanize itself just on America's say-so: the only way you can make an independent Xinjiang and Tibet work is if you're willing to commit your own troops to guarantee the viability of such a state (via occupation), and that's not happening to a region that the US does not have direct access to and does not have enough troops to garrison

indeed, if you were looking for an example of a government that willingly gave away territory in exchange for peace, that would be the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk
