Very interesting reporting again. I was witnessing this myself as my Moments filled up with reposts starting in the afternoon, with many people repeatedly reposting different versions of the same video, clearly out of anger and resistance, often in slightly altered form to avoid detection, and from different Channels accounts, which is something very new and unexpected.
However, do you really have verified sources for these viewership numbers? And for something like the "conference call"?
Why is it surprising? It has been going on since they let that virus loose. Just now the more privileged can slightly speak out. It's nothing new. They welded apt buildings shut since 2020
I am a college student from China. Although I am not in Shanghai, I am in the cities around Shanghai. This video is not very popular in China. Why is it so exaggerated by you?
Personally, I think Shanghai is a failed exploration in the fight against the epidemic. Although there are complaints, it is far less terrifying than what is shown in the video. The background is gray, and at first glance it is a common trick to smear China.
Please report more positive remarks. Why did Shanghai's failure to fight the epidemic become your serious denial of freedom of speech? More encouragement, less scolding. I love my motherland, and I object to your exaggerated description of Shanghai's epidemic prevention.
There is no problem with the government, last year the Chinese government was number one in the world in terms of trust, you can check it out, anyway, I live in mainland China, I think the government is still doing something, otherwise how could the 40 years of reform and opening up have caused the hostility of the United States. This time it is the Shanghai government's slow response that has led to so many cases in Shanghai at the moment.
Are you sure you are commenting on this article? There is nothing about Shanghai's "epidemic prevention" in it. It's about the failed censorship of a video. So what are you objecting to?
You are certainly correct that there are lots of anti-China smear videos on the Internet; we have pointed this out in a number of articles. The video referred to here doesn't look like one of those.
That aside, if there were an epidemic, the bodies would be piling up. The reality is that there are very few deaths due to Covid, and those who did die averaged about 90 years old. Far more people have died due to the lockdown than due to Covid-19. So not only have 300 billion+ yuan in production been obliterated, but more lives were lost than were saved.
Sorry, I hurriedly commented without watching this video, I took it for granted that this video was a smear of China. I am so excited because I love my country so much. I know that the previous clips in this video are the true dark side of the grassroots when the epidemic broke out in Shanghai. I hope that such a tragedy will not be staged in another city in China and the epidemic will end soon.
China is living proof that the larger the population, the easier it is to control. Members of small communities know and trust each other, and organise themselves faster and easier when under attack, while in big cities, one hardly talks to one's neighbours, and in case of danger it is "each on their own".
The rest of the world is not lagging too far, the experiments done with communist regimes have been closely watched and analysed and the results are being adjusted and implemented gradually in the very passive western societies, for a long time.
The oppressors have industry, technology, money + the money factories, weaponry, armies of mindless drones ready to kill for a wage, they make and change the rules to suit their interests, they already control everything, so the Westerners are already living in communism, only most of them don't know it yet. And the conspirators are all focused on one outcome, to lessen the only advantage we may have, numbers, before we somehow get organised and focused on them, which is highly unlikely anyway.
They are doing it in a clever way, by attacking us on all fronts at once, food, housing, energy, communications, massive immigration, health, safety, movement, income, to make sure that while we are being culled, we stay as divided as possible, with everyone overwhelmed by personal problems and no time to look around, too busy trying to save that which cannot be saved anyway, their lifestyle.
Poverty brings people together while money pulls them apart, naked people in a forest will trust each other, because there are no weapons hidden under their clothes, and there is nothing to steal. But trouble will start if one of them finds a pair of old boots in a bush. The more one owns, the more isolated one becomes. In the poor countries from the ex-Eastern European Block, nationalism is strong, while in West is being demonised by everyone, from obnoxious shills to frightened people.
This is why the Westerners have been offered a cosy, plentiful life for a while, to prepare them for the slaughterhouse. Now they will be hit with the final, unexpected hammer which closes and locks the steel doors on every cell in the communist jail, with the stunned sheeple inside :
"You Will Own Nothing, And You Will Be Happy"
Nobody with enough power has any intention of saving us, and what you see in China is our very near future, unless we all understand that we are all targeted by the same cabal and its total annihilation is the condition sine-qva-non for our survival on this planet, and it is already very late.
At this stage it won't be easy, or fast, or peaceful, most likely it won't be at all...
Hopefully, ‘the people’, can win the next few rounds as well. Then who knows?...
Heartbreaking.

This is not the kind of thing the Shanghai Daily reports on ;)

China’s government silences its people

Here is a good example of one of those dark sides you mention: https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1010162/he-was-visiting-shanghai.-then-his-health-code-turned-red
