Hospitals remain open but specialist and dental clinics have to close. Pharmacies are banned from selling antibiotics, antiviral drugs and medicines for fever and cough.

The following report is from The Guardian:

China has intensified its efforts to rein in outbreaks of Covid-19 ahead of a major political meeting by placing about 65 million people under semi-lockdown, according to local media reports.

The Chinese Communist party will begin its 20th congress on 16 October, with party chief Xi Jinping widely expected to be reinstated as president for a third term.

According to a report on the business portal Caixin, 33 Chinese cities – including eight major provincial and municipal centres – have been placed under China’s lowest “static management” tier of lockdown, disrupting the lives of an estimated 65 million residents.

Measures include the closure of offices, schools, entertainment venues, non-essential shops and services. Office workers and civil servants are required to work from home and students conduct their learning online.

Hospitals remain open but specialist and dental clinics have to close. Pharmacies are banned from selling antibiotics, antiviral drugs and medicines for fever and cough.

The semi-lockdown has been imposed on the affluent southern cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen – an economic powerhouse that borders Hong Kong – as well as Xining city by the Tibetan Plateau and the northern cities of Shijiazhuang and Harbin.

The western metropolis of Chengdu – with a population of 21 million – the western city of Guiyang, Lhasa in Tibet and Ürümqi in Xinjiang also went into semi-lockdown.

According to the Chinese government website, 349 new cases of Covid were reported on Sunday, giving a total of 6,227 confirmed cases across 31 provinces and municipalities.

Despite China’s relatively low number of cases, authorities have repeatedly committed the country to a zero-Covid policy, despite most of the rest of the world choosing a path of coexistence or mitigation.

Xi has ordered authorities to balance zero-Covid with economic growth, although reports suggest that Chinese cities with significant areas under lockdown account for 35% of the total GDP.

The protracted and often unpredictable measures have angered many ordinary people. Some complain that the repeated lockdowns have affected their livelihood while others express worries over elderly parents being unable to go out without having been tested.

“People might starve to death before they are infected!”, one social media user exclaimed. Another user compared the draconian measures to “a war without gunpowder that no one can evade”.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

[9] By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. [10] But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; [11] Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? [12] There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. [13] Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Job 35:9-12

The deep oppression of China continues, and yet the people do not cry out for Jesus Christ, but live in such darkness and blindness.

China enacts what they call “snap lockdowns.” That means a lockdown can occur at any moment, and so, if people are at a store when one is initiated, the people will try to cart those people off to camp. A social media video went viral almost a month showcasing one these snap lockdowns.

Meanwhile, healthcare forces continue to test animals and seafood for Covid, by nasal and mouth swabbing them:

These lockdowns will continue to mess up supply chains and exports to the U.S. and the Western nations.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • The majority of China is communist which is atheist, Buddhist, or Confucius and they reject the King James Bible too.

    The same goes for Australia, India, the U.K., France, and Canada.

    • In China there are approximately, 100 MILLION+ Christians and rising rapidly – a revival that been in progress since the 1970’s and its their prayers that has taken China into prominence in the world today::

  • Aside from rejecting the gospel, I have heard that China is much worse than most other countries in their embrace of occult practices. It seems like you would not expect this in a country of atheists, but that is what is said about China. Who in their right mind would want to put travelings to China on their bucket list? I made the mistake of taking a course in Asian literature decades ago before I was saved and can’t remember one thing about it except the looney instructor.

    • Occult practices popular in China? No wonder God is smiting that nation harder and harder.

      Not to mention, China is one of the lands of the east where the 200 million man army comes from.

    • Yes they are and I want to heed them, but the problem is how will I do it and where can I go? Or where can we go? I’m not saying I don’t trust the Lord but yknow…

  • 33, huh? Including ‘8’…like the 8 people on the Ark brought through the judgment??? Like the ancient Chinese script revealing that the Chinese, including the craft occultists, knew of Noah as they went out from Babel: the emperors keeping also the border sacrifice to the high God of heaven annually up to the time of Confucius & later. Their symbol for ‘grace’ was 8 people in a boat. And, notice how the pagodas have three and seven levels. Genesis 10-11 & Romans 1 KJB.

    Nothing to it, I’m sure. Nor to forbidding medical care save ‘official’ State and WHO, corporatist mandated & controlled ‘care’. This week Natural News New-Age-Rome-ecumenical-voice-like-Alex-Jones, Mike Adams (he also has some very strange alien beliefs), was going on about a ‘source’ reporting how China and Planned Parenthood were working together, along with other sources like 23-and-me, to develop race-targeting bioweapons. Y’all can look up the details if you want. Mitchell Gerber, investigative journalist, and Jeff Dornik of ‘The Breakdown’….I just compare stuff with scripture & go no further these days since there’s so much disinfo and spin that it’s about impossible to sort out. Whatever it is: China’s not alone in the development, and the US is more a puppet of Rome & her world bankers like the Rothchild’s than rank and file Americans tend to realize.

    Regardless, the Lord’s not changed our commission and it’s not getting any easier with regard to the world’s reaction as we go into the beginning of sorrows, the falling away and great delusion continues. Both our Lord Jesus Christ, & the Apostle Paul also lived in such times of ‘change’ as these.

    It troubles me when Christians speak of ‘community’ and ‘be the change’…. always think of these verses and the Druckerites with their ‘good’ ‘communitarian’ synthesis solution for ‘bad’ fascism and communism. Same craft and same beast of corporatism, socialism….and bigger than just America: global, like that 4th kingdom still with us, Rome.

    Proverbs 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

    This one they actually used at their ‘dedication service’ at the 9-11 mass sacrifice/funeral byre….right before they loaded it all on barges & buried all evidence in the sea. As though it were a ‘good thing’, a ‘harbinger’ of good things to come, when it’s actually a sober warning of God by the Prophet Isaiah of impending judgment….confronting their insufferable presumption & pride, their idolatrous & corrupted worship. Their spiritual fornication.

    ‘change’ is a good study through the Bible, and the state of conscience & heart determine whether it’s a blessing of God or a curse answering sin, pride & disobedience.
    Isa 9:10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
    Jer 2:36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
    Jer 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
    Da 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
    Ho 4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
    Hab 1:11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
    Zec 3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
    Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
    Ac 6:14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
    Ro 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
    Ga 4:20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
    Php 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
    Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

    But with regard to China, there’s also the deceitfulness of men’s hearts, and that counterfeiting & seductive Dragon people thing, & Dragon worship…..much witchcraft & superstition, openness to any spirit & ascension to godhood via works & disciplines. Bondages of philosophy & tradition. So much ‘common ground’ between Buddhism, the ancient craft, & Rome lingering even today, that the Ming Chinese Emperor, upon seeing the Catholic mass, hearing the bells, the speaking of ‘disciplines’ , & the Western science which the Jesuit, Matteo Ricci, brought to China in 1583, the first Westerner invited into the Forbidden City in 1601…..was said to have exclaimed, ‘Ah, I see now that this man & his religion is some form of Buddhism.’

    It’s not like he brought them the word of God.

    The aristocrats in the South of China had distrusted the outsider, but he disarmed them with that, & his science & philosophy….which they considered much less advanced than their own, though at least he was not a ‘barbarian’….lol! They already had fiat paper currency, fireworks and gun powder, advanced time-keeping machines, though they were some taken aback by the world map Ricci showed them, at the world’s largeness surpassing what they knew at the time, even with their seafaring merchants familiar with Asia & Africa, many of the islands.

    The Vatican with the world council of churches & the rest of the ‘Allied’ world ‘broke relations’ with China in 1951, when MacArthur was ordered out, the missionary & soldier, John Birch elected to stay with his people there & was martyred by the communists….then his name & martyrdom used politically. Anyways, the communists were free to do their dirty inquistorial ‘cleansing’ work behind the Bamboo Curtain until Nixon shocked America by recognizing China for trade. Probably according to orders. If he’d abandoned Israel to their fate as his advisers & Kissinger ordered, he probably would have served out a full term with no ruckus…..the publicly known Democrat whorehouse was only a block or so from the Watergate Hotel (funny how that never came up in the ‘trials’ and ‘reporting’).

    Now the Vatican and China work together on the ordination of bishops, beginning in 2010-2011. Not sure if that was Francis or the other fascist inquisitor they had to hide when his ‘indiscretions’ caught up to him before the time. The Three Self Patriotic idolatrous humanist …and very antichrist, State religion thrives alongside of Romanism, and their communist atheism is very dark, superstitious & surprisingly spiritual. Only Bible Christianity is strictly restricted & persecuted, along with any other group that is viewed as hindering or resisting ecumenical agreement with Rome & the ever-evolving-any-Bible-but-the-King-James crowd of the ‘new world’ and great ‘change’.

    Met a young man who grew up in China during the deceiving ‘open’ years….’open’ until many Christians & free trade enthusiasts were emboldened to expose themselves….when the big crackdown came, & all Westerners associated with Bible belief were expelled, including his father. (He himself was in the US for school…and never really got to say goodbye.) Thank you, Google execs & military betrayers & enforcers, with those behind them, higher up & deeper in. Only crapitalistic trade allowed: crony corporatism with self-righteous religious craft & science falsely so-called. Social justice & liberation theology garbage, of which critical race theory is a part.

    There are actually more English-speaking (as a second language) people in China than in the US and Great Britain combined, and the churches there…educated, peasants or regular city-dwellers… had no problem understanding King James Bible English! Anyways, he was trying to raise support to attempt a return, & so very concerned for the people of their gathering.

    Anyone who was educated & thus ‘suspect’, was being picked up, some disappearing. The care for the flock had fallen to a semi-literate peasant, too lowly & ill-educated to be suspected, not much expected of him. But it was too risky to communicate directly…and this prior to 2019.

    I remember this so distinctly, because both of us were coming to the awareness that our own churches here in America were very compromised, not likely to be any help to him whatsoever, & that they had a lot common with the Three Self Patriotic fake at the same time.

    Prior to that we had visiting Philippino nationals who shocked us by speaking of Putin’s ‘stand for Christ’ when the West was going ‘limp’ & ‘antichrist’….so that’s also been an ongoing angle & portrayal Putin & handlers have shot for, & rather successfully if those young people were any indication.

    As an aside, I’ve been thinking, Frankie Schaeffer supposedly ‘breaking’ with his father’s politicized militarism for the mystical politicized militarism of the Eastern orthodox really wasn’t that big a leap, or a stretch given Rome’s East and West legs, & the fact that they are now in concordat agreement: their schism & supposed differences mostly dialectic show ——–especially now. Putin’s idolatrous & mystical, harsh stance orthodoxy fits both their ‘theater’….and what God’s word prophesied concerning these days.

    Many young people, growing disillusioned with some aspect of their parents’ involvement with some professing Christian group, denomination or association ….end up not coming to the end of themselves & humbling themselves to Christ, obeying the Gospel….but merely leaping to some other error! Like ‘Saint’ Francis of Assissi running around naked & talking to animals & trees….dishonoring his parents, shocking his erring elders, even while putting down men better than himself….much more like Saul than the Lord. Nothing new under the sun.

    We left that church shortly after that young man candidated, & I often think of & pray for him and the brethren in China, that young peasant man bearing such heavy responsibility, though Christ’s yoke is lighter than any communist’s or fascist’s yoke of corporatist MYSTERY with her cults of death.

    They were looking to make ‘saints’ of Matteo Ricci and a Chinese convert of his named Xu Guanqi who took up western farming methods & was chosen by the Emperor to overhaul the Chinese calendar after accurately predicting two eclipses…..to aid the syncretism & ecumenism along in 2010…..400 years after Ricci’s death in 1610. Which is funny, because I believe Rome’s politics took a turn, they didn’t like his dressing like a Chinese scholar, & acting Chinese….and Ricci was recalled to Rome if my memory serves me correctly. Shades of Methodius and Cyril.

    But Rome’s a chameleon & revisionism isn’t new. I guess he’s ‘useful’ now (like Francis), & adding a little pagan necromancy & ancestor worship to show ‘common ground’ with the targeted culture just might ‘work’.

    It’s instructive …if a bit creepy & ghoulish, to compare the glass coffins of the communist tyrants…East & West, with those of Rome’s saints & popes. They do think they’re ‘little christs’ (ye shall be as gods & the ‘bridge’ thing between heaven & earth pagan style, and all the cults of men, however they wrap & express it) and becoming gods.

    There’s a lot of the same symbology & types of idolatrous worship.

    Don’t know if they achieved it, the ‘sainting’ or whatever they call it, but do know that Rome’s in tight with China, as well as with every other power of the world, State and religious/spiritual thought highly of in the world.

  • Henry Kissinger is a Knight of Malta (like Tony Blair) – high level merchants of death – all working for the Vatican New World Order.
