1. Xinjiang has been closed for 60 days, and more than 20 million people have become the focus of attention:
The Xinjiang authorities have recently demanded that securing the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party be the most important political task at present, strictly preventing the spillover of the epidemic, and strictly controlling the departure of people from Xinjiang unless necessary.

Local residents are very upset. Not long after Xinjiang relaxed its epidemic prevention restrictions, residents are once again banned from leaving the place due to the rebound of the epidemic. The Xinjiang authorities claimed that the current epidemic in Xinjiang is a "major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest coverage, the largest number of infections, and the most difficult prevention and control." Authorities have not disclosed when they plan to lift the current round of restrictions.

A video posted by a netizen shows that Xinjiang is also building a mobile cabin hospital in a barren and uninhabited area. The environment is awful. Netizens say this is a "Nazi concentration camp."

2. Yunnan local police shut down the city with guns; people were forced to quarantine, suffering great distress:

On the afternoon of October 4, a tourist city in Yunan was suddenly locked down without warning. Flights were grounded, high-speed trains halted, and highways closed. Some of the out-of-town tourists who were stuck protested and were immediately met with police brutality, with a number of tourists being pinned to the ground and taken away.

In addition to Yunnan, another tourist city 三亞 Sanya, 海南Hainan locked down again on the night of Oct. 3rd. At least 2,000 tourists were stranded on 蜈支洲Wuzhizhou Island with the health code turning yellow. Food, drink, and movement are all restricted.
