The following report is from the Trends Journal:
On 1 June, China’s largest city, with 25 million people, began lifting its two-month anti-COVID lockdown that had trapped people in their homes and workplaces and shut the world’s busiest port.
The lockdown was ended after four days with no COVID deaths in the city and the rate of new infections at its slowest since early March.
All residents can return to work, buses and trains are running on normal schedules, and only businesses in high-risk areas still face restrictions.
Shops and restaurants can operate at 75 percent of normal occupancy.
However, to move around town, residents must show a negative PCR COVID test within the previous 72 hours.
Although officials unveiled a 50-point plan to revive the city’s economy, “any economic rebound will be limited because Beijing remains committed to its stringent COVID-19 containment policies, said economists,” The Wall Street Journal reported.
China’s official purchasing managers index (PMI) for the manufacturing sector rose to 49.6 in May, up slightly from 47.4 in April. The service sector’s PMI jumped from 41.9 in April to 47.8.
Ratings below 50 indicate economic contraction.
The PMIs’ rise toward the break-even point in May indicated that businesses expected the lockdown to be ending soon.
TREND FORECAST: China’s economic revival will run into the world’s shift from spending on stuff to spending on activities, followed by a decrease in consumer spending as the global economy slows under the weight of inflation and higher interest rates.
With less revenue from exports, China will take measures to stimulate domestic consumption and accelerate its economic strategy of dual circulation, in which consumer spending and manufacturing for export are equally robust.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The Trends Journal report really only focusing on the economic aspects of it all. However if you read The WinePress’ reports detailing just some of the horrors coming out of Shanghai and Beijing, along with mainstream media outlets like CNN giving it plenty of attention, and criticizing its severity; only means that the media was priming the masses for this to hit them soon enough.
If you recall, when the initial wave of lockdowns ended the first two times in China since 2020, the West reinstated theirs not long after…
I warned about these formalities in my very important article, “Are You Awake? Are You Ready For What’s Coming? Do You Loathe The Honeycomb??”
[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).

But the question is…for how long?
This is Stockholm syndrome on a grander scale.
It’s worse in Peru actually all over South America … you should a report on that too. GOD’s judgments there too.
I believe ya, Jack. South America and the rest of Latin America are hardcore Roman Catholic!
When Roman Catholicism comes to a nation, a city, a town, or wherever, sin and evil always follow. That’s a scientific fact.
Also, I forgot to mention Chile legalized sodomite marriages so it’s going to get nasty for Chile as well as the rest of South America.
Jacob will you be doing a report on the “meteor shower “ tau herculides in Brazil ?
From 1998 very interesting …..
