“The government of China has just completely shut down the city of Shanghai. The lockdown there is by all accounts more brutal and more far-reaching than anything we saw in Wuhan two years ago,” Carlson said.
Videos have emerged on social media showing citizens and foreigners being locked inside their homes by Chinese police using bicycle locks and padlocks.
Carlson recalled that in the 2020 lockdown in Wuhan, doors were sometimes welded closed from the outside to prevent people who tested positive for COVID from leaving their homes. He said that this has caused some people to die of starvation.
The Fox News host showed a recent video in which a child was taken alone by van to a COVID “internment camp.” The COVID quarantine camps, according to Carlson, occasionally lack water and other basic human necessities for the many individuals isolated in them.
Videos also showed Chinese citizens screaming from the skyscrapers of Shanghai because they are starving in their homes.
“Has there ever been a clearer picture of what hell is like? Twenty five million people imprisoned in concrete apartment blocks and slowly starving,” Carlson said.
Based on local reports, stores have already run out of food supplies and carriers cannot keep up with the demand of online orders. A man was seen on video shouting in the street, “What am I supposed to buy? What am I supposed to eat?”
“This is the biggest, richest, most international city of China and people are starving, without medicine and without freedom,” reported a Western journalist in Shanghai.
Protests have erupted in the streets, with people shouting at the police, “We are starving.”
The government has tried to control the crowds with on-the-ground officers and patrol drones that announced by loudspeaker: “Control your souls’ desire for freedom.”
Given the size of Shanghai and the huge presence of foreign nationals, the city poses the biggest threat to the dominant Chinese Communist Party (CCP) – especially this year, as China’s leader Xi Jinping gets ready for re-election for a third straight term. His re-election became possible when the CCP lifted the present term-limit four years ago. With no limit on the number of terms, the Chinese dictator can now rule indefinitely....<<<Read More>>>...
