Thanks hats. I guess local Gov will get all the grief and the party the glory for killing the virus 🙄.
didn't know about that other protest in wuhan interesting. Thanks.
you still green code? 😁
Rich_G-
Yep, still green code. A few friends are yellow, friend of a friend is red and in a quarantine centre. There's talk that the code will become a permanent thing, and I'm sure many in the party are glad they have this opportunity to crack down. People are fine with it for now as they're constantly told how dangerous everything is, but even here I think it's going to wear thin. Han Chinese are fine with other ethnic groups being monitored but will not be quite so ok with it applying to them in the long term.
hats
There was a really weird incident last week where people in Wuhan were shouting at a local official and it got reported by the Global Times (CCP mouthpiece) - potentially because the local gov are going to get the blame for it all, and central gov will take all the credit (Xi Jinping went to Wuhan at the end of last week). But then the post was deleted... So I'm not really sure. Wuhan has a very recent track record of protests, there was a huge one around the same time that the HK protests started - it was unrelated but the gov was very worried about it, 1m people on the streets, it got suppressed VERY quickly and there was a complete media blackout.
