LOCKDOWN Shanghai 2022
ChinaChange, April 9, 2022
HRIC note: An eye-opening compilation of videos taken by Shanghai residents showing what is happening on the ground and the reality of the “zero COVID” policy. Includes scenes of eerie, empty streets; public security officers in white PPE chasing and beating up a resident; a truck driver being blocked from delivering a truckload of food into the city; a resident showing a quarantine facility with a filthy floor, no masks for anyone, and not even water for handwashing after bathroom visits that he was forced to enter; and more.
