Despite only recording a handful of cases, Chengdu's lockdown is the most severe since China's largest city ofChina's authoritarian Communist political system demands strict adherence to measures dictated by the central leadership overwhelmingly dominated by party leader Xi Jinping. Rescue workers carry an injured person on a stretcher following a 6.8-magnitude earthquake in Qinggangping village, Luding county, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan province, China on September 5, 2022. The ruthless and often chaotic enforcement of the Shanghai lockdown led to widespread complaints over shortages of food, medication and access to health care.
The quake knocked out power and damaged buildings in the historic mountain town of Moxi in the Tibetan autonomous prefecture of Garze, where 37 people were killed. Tents were erected for more than 50,000 people being moved from homes made unsafe by the quake, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
