Massive City Closures Once Again, Shanghai Lockdown Model Reappearing

September 10th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, an important traditional festival in China, second only to the Lunar New Year. In the past, family and friends would gather together at this time to enjoy food and celebrate together. But this year, instead of being able to reunite with family, many people are left with nothing to eat.

The CCP’s zero-covid policy has become a catastrophe sweeping across China, a cruel test both on the economy and people's lives. The psychological impact on the Chinese people, in particular, will haunt them for generations.

China's official stance shows no sign of easing the policy, which has left a shadow of despair on the minds of some residents in China who were expecting the policy to be relaxed after the 20th Congress in mid-October.
