one thing is definitely clear : WSJ learns how to use filters from BBC
Safest country on earth to Covid.
Professor Ehud Qimron, head of the department of microbiology and immunology at Tel Aviv University –
“Two years late, you finally realize that a respiratory virus cannot be defeated and that any such attempt is doomed to fail. You do not admit it, because you have admitted almost no mistake in the last two years, but in retrospect, it is clear that you have failed miserably in almost all of your actions, and even the media is already having a hard time covering your shame.”
Another of WSJ smearing propaganda of China. By the way the total lockdown is to prevent outside evil forces from sabotaging the Winter Olympic..
It's a bunch of bullshits, unless saving lives.
O micron semiconducter producer, interesting
Why isn't the United States pulled out of the 2022 Olympics after they murdered millions of people over the world with covid? I know Biden the dementia that has become a multi-millionaire along with this sundew to dealings with China. F Biden
what dems want to happen here in America
No cell phones for Olympic athletes is rule number one, ouch.
Goodjob! Covidiots deserve this! Sick of catching the virus no matter how protective I am. The so called democracies test the patience of law abiding citizens and thats all.
Wuhan Virus
Why don't the WSJ do some anti china hate campaign news reports ,i
People should not go to these virus making People they should boycott these games. This regime is cruel.
Again bbc filters ……
Here is US, if I was given an option of lockdown at home for 3 weeks vs worry about the Covid infection every day, I will definitely choose the lockdown. Too sad we do not have freedom to choose. Good job, China !
How, poo xi's government can't keep covid contained when they made it in a lab. How is that impudent government going to control anything with covid for the Olympics?
I don’t understand why US isn’t on lockdown I got the virus and it’s absolutely horrible
No need worry on Xi An, China can always handle this situation.
Look at the comments. Westerners feel sorry for China 🤣🤣🤣
What a surprise that the person who recorded the video is nowhere to be found. That is one of the differences between democracy and communism.

What goes around comes around. Looks like China is getting their karma!
China , the Chinese communist party is responsible for the millions of deaths globally and the current global economic crisis. And the recent unrest in many countries is due in part to the fall out of the Corona virus restrictions. They have been manipulating countries through acts of aggression and intimidation. The world must stand as one against the tyranny. The entire free world must stand up.
The Omicron variant is the grandchild of the original SARS-CoV-2 developed and released on the world from Wuhan, China 2019.
until today 2022.1.19，the XIAN city has been cleared turn zero for few days . It's really strict, there are many problems, but it does solve the problem quickly .
5 millions deaths vs lockdowns: I take lockdown over millions of deaths.
Well, no matter what you say. At least we do not have a death toll of over 800,000. If you try to say that the policies regarding Covid are unethical or something, giving free rights of not wearing masks and not receiving vaccinations at the stake of over 800,000 people’s life is more ethical? I call it selfish and extreme ignorance.
Just putting this out there, hopefully I'm wrong, but… Sun Tzu Quote: “The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.” Therefore; I believe the CCP may take the worlds athletes hostage at the winter games, (its already a fully fenced secure compound) in exchange of a peaceful hand over of Taiwan or at least allows CCP to attack Taiwan without outside support for Taiwan.
This is old news
Data are facts and don’t lie. Here is the covid data as of 21Jan2022 (daily count only): Country A: death count: 3,866; new infection count: 825k; Country B: death count: 0; new infection count: 63. The fact is: Country A is the USA and Country B is China. Of course, there are costs and inconveniences associated with covid lockdowns such as the one in Xi'an, but what cost is higher than the loss of loved ones? China's dynamic zero-tolerance policy is not only saving hundreds of thousands of lives but is also ensuring no interruption of the global supply chain for things including masks and personal protection equipment.
Absolute fallacy – the VAST majority of people in the US that get tested are also tested to see which variant of COVID they have!
Very easy fact to verify!
So why I the world would any sane person think China is doing any better?!?!??
Come on people – WAKE THE HECK UP!!!!!
I'd say what WSJ reports here in this video is fairly unbiased. The government of Xi'an has been criticized heavily by the public both inside and outside of Xi'an. yes, Chinese people can criticize their government as well. But things just vary from region to region, a lot cities just handle the covid situation much better than Xi'an, like Shanghai and Shenzhen. Even my hometown, a small tier-5 city in south china managed to complete the pcr test for most population and eased restrictions just one day after one case confirmed. It's bit ironic but many China's local governments now see Xi'an as a bad example, so they know what they should avoid doing.
It's better than just letting the citizens die without doing anything
Ny times says China’s zero covid policy is a ticking time bomb????🤣🤣🤣. Well we all know that America’s covid policy exploded a nuke bomb long long ago. Herd immunity in the west means the virus is immune to their vaccines.
I feel sorry for 🇨🇳 people, in Denmark they ditched all the rules, in China they are keeping their people prisoners… No wonder rich people are fleeing China..
Where are the parents and the President stopping these athletes from going to the Olympics. You know it is dangerous. Who knows if they will be able to come home
Taiwan NO.1!!!!
I hope we get rid of these viruses!
fake WSJ, alwasys negative!! Shame on you
This country is effed up, if the people even left their brain washed state and tried to speak up they would likely be locked up. When will we stand up for the people

The Chinese should be banned from traveling abroad. Disease carriers due to horrific and inhumane CCP regime.
Curei covid19 indo pneumologista tomei 500 reais de antibióticos pulmonares funcionou! Covid19 e infeccao pulmonar ,são antibióticos específicos pros pulmões
Yea all about a virus keep dreaming.
3 months later…90% vaccinated, it's not a test for COVID it's a stress test on the dumb masses.
Not surprised, China citizens said Uighurs Muslims are bad, now they get the same treatment, get a taste of own medicine
Awful, corrupt, brainwashed, mask-sheeple society
