Shanghai lockdown: Whole communities relocated in anti-Covid drive. Is there Still Human Rights Laws in China!
It's another difficult week for the Chinese city of Shanghai and a very tough month (April) for families, business owners, communities as well as pet owners. It's even more difficult for pets during this lockdown period in China most especially in the city of Shanghai, this is because once a owner of a pet is covid positive, whether asymptomatic or not, the pet is taken away. Where's animal rights in China? Does animals even have rights in the Chinese hemisphere.
Since businesses aren't allowed to open and citizens are restricted from coming due to the strict measures placed on zero tolerance on covid, people depends on the state for their supply on a daily basis and this as we can predict is capable of causing starvation and even death amongst family members.
The past two weeks have been filled with different protest within the Chinese commercial city of Shanghai, ranging from people calling on world leaders to stop the Chinese government from continuing the lockdown, while others were calling for Government to increase food and other basics supply to them in Shanghai.
The worst situation of them all is that, most homes are evicted and confiscated as quarantine camps, moving families to different locations.
Today, the focal point of my post is about the conscious moment of a community out of their location to another area by the Chinese government. What a pity.
The BBC has been told of fresh efforts to relocate entire communities in areas of Shanghai as Chinese authorities enforce extreme measures to try to stop a new wave of Covid.Source
This would've been said to be a rumor if this kind of incidence haven't happened in other Shanghai province.
At least 1,000 people were forced to leave the small town of Beicai and move to temporary accommodation so officials could disinfect the area on the outskirts of the Pudong area in the east of the city.Source
Although, the decisions by officials to relocate people is for temporal purposes, mostly to disinfect the area for some weeks and thereafter, return the community back.
An official notice from local Communist Party officials in an area in the north of the city details orders to transfer residents to quarantine facilities more than 100 miles (160km) away.
The plan is to move people from their homes in Pingwang to the neighbouring province of Zhejiang, where they will stay for at least a week. Young children, the elderly and those with disabilities could be excluded, according to the notice.Source
The most painful aspect of this migration of people out of their original abode is to disinfect as I have said earlier and only those tested negative were to be relocated. This is actually sounding so insane, because it's the covid positive people that are supposed to be taken to quarantine camps, but in this case, the Chinese authority is relocating covid negative people. What a world full of mysteries.
The notice from the town's Epidemic Prevention Office also included this order: "You cannot bring your pets with you during this evacuation, but we will arrange for them to be taken care of."Source
This is an absurd decision, because the pets also have their rights as well as their owners, but the Chinese government don't even give a dam about the rights of both citizens and their pets.
I think the Shanghai covid lockdown is getting more fierce as the day goes by.
More news on the Chinese situation will be brought to you in my subsequent post. Stay tuned!
