They’re mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it anymore. See this entire thread and additional threads within the thread at Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1512974880463114241
2) “yao ming le” & “yao si” — both expressions meaning “life and death” but they also more literally means “asking for death”. Narrator eventually implies shit is gonna hit the fan soon if this continues.
3) The video has been verified by
@patrickmadrid’s family. It has also been verified by my sources as commonplace. Also, Shanghainese is a local dialect (not really propaganda useful)—only 14 million out of 1.3 billion Chinese even speak. I only speak it because I was born there.
4) China honestly might be hitting a breaking point with #Ba2. Either it keeps going with tragedies growing or it changes direction. See
below. Hunger is growing fast.
5) The narrator sounds familiar— Shanghai resident: “I’m breaking through the blockade now—you quickly arrest me, do you have any food to eat in prison?” Police: “We will arrest you and sent you back. We don’t even know where we can buy food outside.”
6) More remarkable in this telephone conversation is how philosophical of a chat the resident and police officer got toward the end. Censors blocked the subtitles—but in Shanghainese the caller gets the cop to think about repercussions for violent rebellion if hunger continues.
7) for example, at 5:05 mark, subtitles suddenly stop and replaced with censorship warnings. But the Shanghainese audio isn’t censored the caller vents about he now understands why armed revolutions & government overthrow happens when citizen starving.
7) Of course, Chinese govt doesn’t condone balcony singing or & protesting. And of course, a govt drone appears: “Please comply with COVID rules. **Control your soul’s desire for freedom**. Do not open window to sing.” yes the drone actually said that.
8) Are people going hungry in Shanghai? Yes. Many people down to one meal a day. You can see here people rationing their vegetables into meal chunks. Dialogue is in Shanghainese, so it’s legit—checks out.
9) There are indeed widespread reports of hunger and food distribution issues. Let’s just suppose it only affects 10% of Shanghai’s 26 million people —that’s still 2.6 million starving. Even if it’s 5% having hunger crisis—that’s still 1.3 million people!
10) Some asked—how can the Chinese government allow millions to go hungry? Well, most Westerners never learned about the horrific **GREAT CHINESE FAMINE** of 1959-1961… in which **up to 55,000,000** (15-55 mil) Chinese starved to death. It’s history.
11) The Great Famine “is widely regarded as the deadliest famine & one of the greatest man-made disasters in human history”— death toll of 15-55 million.
The % dead in provinces: Anhui (18% dead), Chongqing (15%), Sichuan (13%), Guizhou (11%) and Hunan (8%). History lessons.
12) There is a big rich-poor divide in food access. richer neighborhoods have plenty. Food delivery used to cost 30 RMB, but delivery fee now 200-300 RMB! So you can get food—but only you are resourceful enough to find delivery and can afford it even if you do. I’m worried.
13) I think there is definitely a food shortage. Just like we are sure COVID #Ba2 is run amuck in China. The trickier thing is to know how much critical food insecurity / hunger prevalence there is. My family in SH can’t agree—because some life in wealthier parts than others.
14) meanwhile, Police in Shanghai recently started wearing thermal-imaging view screen helmets designed to detect people on the streets with fevers, before lockdown. China is not letting a good crisis goto waste as chance for their surveillance measures.
15) FOOD PRICE GOUGING—in normal times, these veggies would cost 20-30 RMBs. This guy charges 100 RMBs plus 200 RMB delivery fee—300 RMBs—so a ~10x cost increase for food, assuming you can even get delivery. That’s not sustainable for 26 million people.
16) last week, I warned about how Shanghai was at a tipping point. As world financial capital city, Shanghai’s government is desperately trying to stop it before it gets further out of control. But I feared it might be already too late.
17) Let this sink in— The U.S. Consulate in Shanghai had to beg for food for US Marines using WeChat. “Marines have depleted their food and can no longer get delivery—if you can spare a meal’s worth or two for 7 extra mouths, they’d be very appreciative”
18) What is a long term effect of the Great Chinese Famine—assuming one didn’t die among 15-55 million? Well, my Harvard epidemiology friends did a study—it found fetuses exposed to the famine, later in adulthood, sadly had 4x higher glucose/diabetes risk! https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3279550/
19) Isn’t China good with logistics? Yes, except Chinese daily diet is mostly reliant on unfrozen and unprocessed foods with almost no shelf life. That’s how Chinese diet & food system has been. But that is harder with COVID to deliver than more processed Western diets (ironic?)

Food shipments in China are very time-sensitive due to our poor cold chain. Most Chinese want “fresh” not frozen or refrigerated foods. This is why massive amounts of food has been lost to spoilage in Shanghai as trucks could not make timely deliveries. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2515-7620/abd622…

20) Chinese society’s deepest fight is against the humiliation of poverty & hunger. The modern core social contract of CCP is to provide food and prevent mass hunger. If CCP fails to deliver on food to its citizens—that is actually the greatest social failure in Chinese eyes!

Some countries were founded in a fight against fascism, freedom from colonial powers- every nationality has its buttons you do not push if you don’t want people in the street. In China, our fight was against the humiliation of colonialism, but also the of humiliation of poverty.

21) Every Chinese-born person knows this—food is the main way to show both love and hospitality. Even trying to show off there is too much food. Many parents/grandparents who survived the Great Famine (see above) knows that is the hard line that society can never cross again.
22) As
@RodZeidan points out in his thread on the food situation in wealthier parts of Pudong, food deliveries are certainly possible — it just take extremely diligent monitoring of food/grocery delivery apps—closing and reopening frequently. Not everyone is that savvy/wealthy.

You have to keep opening and closing the apps to see if there is a store with something available. That’s my responsibility. We got some stuff here and there and finally contacted a delivery person directly.

23) But elsewhere in the city, there are scenes of looting / mob attacking food shipments too. There are many other small protest videos too— but you get the idea. It’s not everywhere, but it is happening often I’m told.
24) Leaving off with this photoshop of Hunger Games Shanghai. Overall, is the food crisis apocalyptic? No. Are deliveries great? No. Are folks v frustrated? Yes. Even 1-5% of 26 mil is = MANY hungry. But if China loses control—millions may die. #BA2 is serious & #CovidIsNotOver
25) damn, now they are sealing the doors of anyone with a positive case (presumably because the FangCang isolation centers are full). And this hit home – XuHui District was my grandmother & mom’s childhood home—and one of the key districts of PuXi (west of the river Shanghai).

Seals on doors and locked buildings (if if Covid cases) for Xuhui District from midnight. If implemented as sounds, what happens if there’s a fire? Just insanely reckless. #Shanghai.
26) But there are reports Shanghai govt is maybe relaxing the “seal you in” approach after pushback. So much is in flux — it’s utter madhouse trying to keep up with the Shanghai govt changes. Follow to keep updated.

Good news: more reports saying this is paused tonight though some compounds had already started sealing people in homes.
27) Shanghai seems to have backed off of locking people into their apartment building. But that doesn’t solve the food crisis. Deliveries still sluggish and there’s huge amounts of food waste with produce spoilage outside of Shanghai unable to be delivered into the city.

Huge volumes of spoilage of unfrozen foods in & around Shanghai’s perimeter due to poor delivery logistics. Most Shanghainese diet relies on fresh food deliveries—logistics is life & death, which that worries me—even if 1-5% hungry of 26 million is a lot!

I read some of the Twatter thread, until I thought I would go cross-eyed from shaking my head back and forth. Can you say ‘propaganda’?
I didn’t expect anything less. The screeching and pseudo graphs abound. “Ba200,000,000,000 is COMING AFTER YOU!!!!
Stay aware – FEAR is their weapon. Choose FAITH over FEAR.
The deep state / cabal is ramping up to their **NEXT FEAR CAMPAIGN**.
I remember, although some of it is vague, that among the countries with the highest JAB rates are the UK and … wait for it … China.
I wonder if there is any correlation to the jabbed vs. those who have caught the Frankenstein variant. Just a passing thought.
Think of how many times in discussions in recent years of if whoever wrote the Q posts was a time-traveler or ‘visionary’ or seer or whatever. Consensus was Qs’ posts were mathematically impossible to be coincidence.
With that thought in mind, how about the timing of this predicted VaRiAnT by Fraud-Xi among others to “hit us again”?
– Priority #1 is to prove voter fraud which is nearing critical mass.
– Russia/Ukraine war is static – it’s habbening but stuck in place.
– Chinas’ economy is already down the toilet.
– Durhams’ 300,000+ indictments are like a bright light that makes the Demonrats scurry to dark safe-spaces.
– DJTs’ lawsuit against Killary, et al, is an explosive exposition of the deep state.
– Puddin’ Brain is about to end Title 42 and open our borders even more to the millions of future Demonrat voters who are actually waiting to head north.
– Mid-term elections are looming – mail-in ballots will be a top screech.
– ‘Supply chain breakdown’, food, oil & fuel prices, inflation at near record levels.
There are many, many more issues – those a just a few. Coincidence? Nope.
No matter what is happening the libtard screechers will be on automatic with their useful idiot screeching about wearing useless face diapers, ‘social distancing’, quarantining and their 13th booster; racists, white supremacists and mail-in ballots … maybe not in that specific order but all in the same breath.
Will His Lowness Fraud-Xi come out from the rock he slithered under?
I smell desperation.

If this horrific event in China does not telll you we are in dire need of CHANGE, nothing else will. Biden will use this news as a brilliant new idea to lock us all down again. Be prepared.
