There are dozens of restaurants, barbershops, fruit shops, grocery stores...etc in this neighborhood, within 15 Minutes walk. But you can only get in or out of it throw the few exits by scanning your QR code COVID passport.

Be careful what you wish for!
Just one day, Chinese government uses razor wire fence and wall to turn this neighborhood into a giant prison, where you need to show your QR code COVID passport at every gate.

@AndrewKnack The end
This neighborhood is in Shenzhen city and most Chinese city folks living like this way.



Day and night, there were drones flying in the sky and shouting out orders during lockdown:

''Stay in your room! Or you will Bear legal liability...''

🇨🇳 Jinan city.

Here you need to scan your face and a QR code with your COVID passport to get into the public toilet.

China's surveillance state has become increasingly widespread and grown in sophistication last 3 years, in name of ''stop COVID from spreading''

If your QR code is yellow or red, immediately an alarm goes off. Then security guards will hunt you down and hand you over to authority... you will be locked up in your home or a quarantine camp
🇨🇳 Suqian city.

In contrast to this German female worker...
