BEIJING: Residents in China's northwestern Xinjiang region have complained on social media about the harsh coronavirus lockdown measures in the sensitive region after a local outbreak.
But hundreds of local residents flooded local social media forums in recent days to complain about harsh conditions, including many being forced to stay home.After some of these comments were removed - China's Internet is heavily censored - users tried to flood local forums on the Twitter-like Weibo platform in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
"Doors have been sealed, this has brought huge inconvenience to workers and people's lives. Prices of daily items have risen ... many things I buy are expired."Other local governments in China have provided information on patients' movements in granular detail. One video from Saturday purportedly showed dozens of high-rise residents in Urumqi yelling from their windows in despair.
