It's not just Shanghai foreigners all over China are leaving. My wife is Chinese and she loves her country and the CCP even she is telling me we need to leave as soon as we can.

Yes I have family in Shanghai 200RMB/JIN for beef (400RMB/KG) in dollars that's 61 dollars / KG. And that's for people not even making half of what the average US person does.

Don't it will be thrown away. Chinese are scared to death of packages from foreign countries the government has blamed the COVID outbreaks on things like Norwegian Salmon.

@maxxiong It's Shanghai, most local government officials also hold positions in the National government. Li Qiang is the top official for Shanghai and he is also part of the national committee and the 25 man CCP politburo. The premier Sun is overseeing the pandemic measures in Shanghai, it's all being controlled from the very top of the CCP echelons and still the local government becomes a scape-goat somehow. I have family in Shanghai too 200 RMB for one jin (400 RMB/kilo) to buy beef. Parents separated from their children, pets being tested for COVID, pets killed when their owner tests positive, lack of food, 3-7 years in prison for not doing the daily PCR testings. I like Shanghai for all the reasons you mentioned it's like any western metropolis and it's standard of living is very high. Unfortunately the policy comes straight from Beijing and there is nothing the Shanghai government or the Shanghai people can do about it. Zero-COVID policy, no exception - premier Sun is in charge and whatever Beijing wants Beijing gets that's just how life is in China. Just have to accept it.

Why is herd immunity a failure of disease control? You do realize that the GOAL of vaccines in the first place is to reach herd immunity....? That is literally one of the main goals with Vaccinations... I don't think you fully understand what herd immunity is.

@jiayinng8120 Yeah it's totally NOT okay to blame the Chinese government for incompetence because you know the US... Classic Chinese counter for everything, the US. Protests in HK, must be CIA. Stock crash, US investors crashed it. Racism in China well look at the US.... you get the point.
