On the news I heard about 3 weeks ago China ordering some locations to gather enough food and water to stay in their homes for the next 4 to 6 months not being allowed outside. Has anyone heard this and know why?,(reply>), Completely made up. There are 800,000+ expats live in China, things can't happen without us knowing about it.  This is the same reason they can't magically hide however many covid deaths people want to pretend they have.  The idea that China is just a larger North Korea is very pervasive but extremely wrong.  Every one of those expats and every Chinese citizen has access to a VPN to access the outside internet.
