But there was also this video of a resident being beaten by anti-epidemic workers after he allegedly left his community to get steamed buns because he was so hungry. The two community workers have reportedly been detained by Xi'an police. pic.twitter.com/lxHv6zl1gF

Express: 'I'm starving to death!' Panic in China as millions forced inside in strict Covid lockdown
RESIDENTS in the locked down city of Xi'an have claimed they risk starvation as they contend with China's zero-Covid policy.
The city, which is home to the famous Terracotta Warriors, is the centre of the largest coronavirus outbreak in China since the original epicentre in Wuhan.
The final week of 2021 saw China’s case number climb to its highest point since March 2020, when many countries across the world plunged into lockdowns.
This approach is one that Xi’an is seeing once again, as its 13 million inhabitants went into a strict lockdown nearly a fortnight ago.
However, residents in the city say they are now at risk of starving within the confines of their own homes as venturing outside to buy food is now a distant prospect.

The CCP is always worried about losing the Mandate of Heaven. It is not like they can blame the opposition party and lie like the Democrats.
It is very worrisome, but they cannot repeat this long the coast or can they?
you'll starve to death, but at least you won't catch COVID, thanks to the Communist Party
