In my friend’s compound, neighbours even start to call the police when they see someone getting downstairs or talking in a group. I can see the uncanny resemblance between being “positive/suspicious” now and being “ intellectual/bourgeois” in the 1960s during the Cultural Revolution. To be honest, this unsettles me way more than hunger or Covid-19. This will be here before long. If not covid, another phony excuse. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/19/my-life-in-shanghais-never-ending-zero-covid-lockdown
