Behind the Red Curtain: A Peek into China’s Draconian Shanghai Lockdown

Even after two long years of business-crushing Covid lockdown in states such as California and countries such as Canada, it is difficult to imagine what has been happening in the beautiful and once-vibrant city of Shanghai, China, for the past seven weeks – with little sign of ending soon, in spite of words to the contrary.

Severe, forced, government-controlled and maintained lockdown, on an entirely different level.  Starvation. Food shortages. Mental breakdown. Anger. Screaming from windows of high-rise apartments. Inhumane treatment, like animals in cages.

It is so bad that one Shanghai resident was mistakenly taken to a morgue, though she was still alive!

Instead of writing about it, here are three short video clips—all from CNN—that capture the reality in Shanghai…the reality of communism.
