China Is Not Revealing Their Current Situation

These past few days, I have been hearing from my Chinese students that they are being locked down. I had this student of mine who is whining about it today. My opening spiel is 'How are you today?' He was not able to conceal his feelings and uttered his words sadly because the teachers and students were locked down at their school. They are waiting for the swab testing to be administered. Moreover, he was so hungry and no money to buy some food. It is not an isolated case because my students are not living in the same cities and provinces. Any updates or news about this? How would you feel if someone is in this kind of situation? Image Credit: ichef.bbci.co.uk

Wuhan has gone on a sudden lockdown. I saw it on news channel. They were covid free till New year Eve and celebrated well. Then WHO team lands there and they go for sudden lockdown claiming a second wave. Even the team is sent for mandatory quarantine. Something is definitely fishy. China is always under lense of suspicion consideri covid cases and numbers.

I agree. I am assuming that their vaccines are not working. I heard that they started to administer their vaccines to frontliners and am not sure if they vaccinated the locals in different cities or provincies.

I have read that now 20 Chinese cities are in lockdown, Wuhan went in sudden lockdown a few days ago. There is something they are not telling us.

That's a good piece of news. No wonder why my Chinese students are kept on saying about this lockdown every day. The Chinese government is concealing the real situation of their country now.

@LadyDuck I agree. It seems that they are still in denial about this issue. I think WHO is having a hard time to enter the country because China is trying to cover up the real facts about it.

@Shavkat You know, all politicians do not tell the truth about the situation in their country. The Chinese Government now tries to blame other countries for the start of the virus in Wuhan... I am sure they know very well how this started.

We also have not received the latest information from China, which seems to be buried tightly there.

I don't know what's going on over there, but I can't say I'm not surprised. After all, China is where this all started after all. By keeping quiet, they can make the world think they are over the worst of it. So blame can go to other countries like the U.S. who can't seem to shut up about how bad things are.

You are right. There is a particular article that I read that China is blaming other countries and denying that it all started from them. They are trying to divert people's attention from doing these things.

I read a headline about that Wuhan admits that a lab had released the virus before patient zero. I don't know if that is true. I think they are in lockdown because the WHO team is there.

I think they are having another wave. I can find out soon because I have a few students from Wuhan.

I really don't understand why there are Chinese people who are starving and have no money in their own country. Aren't they socialists? Whereas in Indonesia, fellow Chinese citizens help each other if there are difficulties, including in terms of finding work. They always get priority and positions in private Chinese-owned companies.

I heard that the local government is not giving them food for free. I cannot say more about their real status but they are also greatly affected. I can tell between their statements when having classes with them. I cannot say ask more because it is not allowed.

It must be hard not being able to help. I hadn't heard anything about it.

The only thing that I can do is to console him. I cannot ask for more information about it because it is not allowed for us to ask.
