Total population of Shanghai is 28.5 million... Presumably 3.5 million work for the government 

If that piece is only half true, then they may as well nuke the place and say 'Oops'. 

As Sir Tim says, not all of Shanghai is locked down, though most of it is.

China have a zero covid policy.  One could argue that's harsh, and possibly fruitless.  But I'm sure they will argue that burying your head in the sand as Boris is just leaves your arse exposed for butt oppsing.

[Doctor Gollum]

Is that the same China that claims to have 8% of the number of active cases in Honduras*?

I think you'll find their 'zero covid' policy means that they will admit to zero cases...

*279,000 active cases in a population of 10,100,000 vs 22,500 cases in a population of 1,450,000,000.

That's some maths that simply doesn't add up. Shanghai has absolutely nothing to do with Covid. 

[Raeturbo]

I agree that point with the good doctor👍

Shanghai has absolutely nothing to do with Covid. 

Not even the Chink government is that stupid.

Let me read my copy of Conspiracy Today or flick on GB News

Stupid? Perhaps not, but arrogant enough? Quite possibly.

I suspect that they are about to find out what 25 million pissed off hungry people looks like. And it won't be pretty.

In fairness to the Chinks, the fact that providing food parcels for 25m residents, albeit with some issues, is bloody impressive.

Can you imagine the UK civil service managing to do it?

From what I can gather through word-of-mouth contacts (rather than social cancer), its not as bad as the evil western media are trying to make out, although there are issues.  That said, who knows the reality of what is being allowed through the Great Firewall.

As you know, China is not quite as liberal as the uk. Dissenters may well disappear into the ether, never to be seen again

Unless Sky have started using Faceachebook as a source, it has made mainstream media...

It stands to reason that if people were able to go shopping, the stocks would be better managed than trying to deliver to individuals.

Also, looking at the state of the container port, if they don't get their shit together soon, then they kill their economy in fairly short order.

Either way, the numbers don't stack up.

The bodies might, though.

[Doctor Gollum]

No might about it.

Don't expect Shanghai to be hosting the Olympics anytime soon though.

25,000,000 will take some clearing up.

It also stands to reason that, if you have decided on a zero covid policy (rightly or wrongly), then you can't have people going out.

Even if you starve them into oblivion?

Obviously the Chinese have a few people to spare, so if it's for the greater good, then they can probably justify internally.

[STEMO]

Even if the Chinese government wanted to back down, they can't. Because they are never wrong.
They can never let people see a chink in their armour
