Strict Lockdown Measures in China Push Couple to Verge of Despair

BY ANTHONY LIU April 12, 2021 Updated: April 12, 2021biggersmaller Print

A Chinese couple were pushed to the verge of despair by strict restrictions during 70 days of quarantine when their city was in lockdown to stem an outbreak of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

 

Earlier this year, several cities in northern China’s Hebei province—Nangong, Xingtai, Langfang, and Shijiazhuang—were all placed under strict lockdown following an outbreak of the CCP virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.

 

Zhao Lan and her husband Chen Hai (both pseudonyms) served as volunteers in their community in Nangong during the lockdown, bringing food to households that suffered from shortages.

 

On April 2, the couple told The Epoch Times about the plight that their family went through in coping with unrelenting strict lockdown measures imposed by the authorities.

 

Disinfection Turned into Ransacking

On Jan. 24, when two other volunteers in their community tested positive for the CCP virus, the couple were immediately sent to a local quarantine center.

 

Before the couple left their house, the local authorities took away their house keys to carry out a disinfection of their home. But what was supposed to be a general sterilization quickly transformed into a ransacking.

 

Most of the couple’s personal belongings were thrown away by the authorities without their consent—including their bank cards, wallet and purses, cellphones, business license, accounting books, and other valuables.

 

Zhao said, “The first thing I saw when I got back home was that as far as my eyes could see, except for the large pieces of furniture, nothing was left, not even a kettle for drinking water.”

 

Authorities did not tell the couple that they were going to remove their belongings.

 

What makes Zhao particularly sad is that her daughter’s belongings were also discarded.

 

“My girl died of leukemia three years ago, at the age of two-and-a-half. They threw away all my girl’s photos too. I told them that those things were priceless to me,” Zhao said.

 

Protracted Quarantine

However, the ransacking of their home was not the most disturbing thing that happened to the couple. Chen has been in quarantine alone for more than 70 days, with no idea of when he will be released.

 

According to Zhao, on Jan. 23, the day before he was placed in quarantine, Chen took a shower with the window open to let in the air. He probably caught a cold as a result and had a slight fever the next day. Consequently, he was sent to Xingtai No. 2 Hospital under observation.

 

Zhao said that her husband no longer had any fever upon arrival at the hospital. While he stayed in isolation there, he was given no treatment, except for some liver protection pills.

 

On March 5, when Chen was discharged from the hospital, he was told to stay in quarantine at home for another 14 days. Meanwhile, the hospital refused to show him his own medical records.

 

To avoid all family members being forced into quarantine, Chen stayed alone at another location away from his home, and his wife delivered meals for him every day.

 

But after the 14-day quarantine concluded, the couple were told again that Chen must remain in quarantine for another month.

 

Chen said: “I have been quarantined for more than 70 days, and now the authorities have told me that I am a high-risk suspect with the coronavirus, but I’ve never been allowed to see my medical records. Since I came back on March 5, I have taken a CT showing that everything is normal.”

 

Yet authorities have given Chen no choice but to comply.

 

“A few days ago my wife had a heart attack and the hospital needs me to be there to sign the paperwork, but they simply told me, ‘You are not allowed to go out—not even for weddings or funerals,’” Chen said.

 

The authorities want him to sign an agreement to stay in quarantine at home and apply for a subsidy of up to 5,000 yuan ($750).

 

Chen said: “I have never tested positive, never! You can keep treating me like a suspect, but you can’t mess up my life like this. I’d rather not get any subsidies.”

 

Zhao disclosed that by signing the agreement, Chen must “rest at home for one more month, and then submit himself under strict watch for another three to six months.”

 

The couple refused to sign the agreement, and the authorities installed surveillance cameras at the entrance of their home.

Taiwan Records Largest Ever Incursion By Chinese Air Force With 25 Planes Monday

China has continued its muscle-flexing exercises near Taiwan on Monday, this time sending an unprecedentedly large group of aircraft to breach Taiwan's defense zone.

 

Taiwan's Defense Ministry has announced that 25 Chinese Air Force planes entered its airspace, which included 18 fighter jets escorting four long-range bombers. It marks the largest ever Chinese aerial incursion since Taiwan began recording and publicly disclosing the data and follows last month's 20-strong Chinese aircraft incursion.

 

25 PLA aircraft (Y-8 ASW2, KJ-500 AEW&C, J-104, J-1614 and H-6K4) entered #Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ on Apr. 12, 2021. Please check our official website for more information: https://t.co/Lv5b0tXxvF pic.twitter.com/gPG3CKYpf9

As is typical in such aggressive Chinese maneuvers near the island, Taiwan said it scrambled its own jets while also issuing radio warnings, and further its military said "air defense missile systems deployed to monitor the activity."

 

It's widely perceived that Beijing's uptick in such flights, which have become 'routine' on a near daily basis, are meant to send a political message warning both secessionist forces in the democratic island as well as their superpower backer the United States.

 

Monday's largest ever PLA breach of airspace further comes a day after Biden's secretary of state Antony Blinken hit out at Beijing over the Taiwan issue, warning it would be a "serious mistake" for anyone to try and change the status quo in the western Pacific via military threats. Of course, that's precisely the charge Beijing has lately leveled back, claiming it's Washington which is the one reneging on the 'One China' policy.

 

 

"What we’ve seen, and what is of real concern to us, is increasingly aggressive actions by the government in Beijing directed at Taiwan, raising tensions in the Straits," Blinken told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.
