[Epoch Times, January 4, 2022](Reported by Epoch Times reporter Li Jing) In order to achieve the “Social Clearance Goal”, the Shaanxi authorities have adopted strict bans and control measures against Xi’an. The local people have paid a heavy price for this.
Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, with a population of 12 million, has gradually escalated since the announcement of the “closed city” on December 23, 2021, and spread to 14 districts (counties) of the city, as well as to many provinces.
Less than a week after Xi’an was “closed”, Sun Chunlan, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and Vice Premier of the State Council, went to Xi’an to guide the epidemic prevention work. She demanded that the general policy of “dynamic reset” be implemented to control the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible.
According to official news on January 2, Wang Bin, secretary of the Yanta District Committee of Xi’an, and Cui Shiyue, deputy secretary of the Yanta District Committee, have been removed from office.
Passed official internal documents requesting that “the 4th of January must be cleared”
On the same day, according to the Shaanxi Daily, Liu Guozhong, secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, asked at the Xi’an Epidemic Prevention Work Conference to “achieve the goal of zeroing out the society as soon as possible” and warned the “top leaders” in Yanta District, High-tech Zone and other places. “Politics, taking into account the overall situation.”
According to an internal document titled “The Spirit of the Video Scheduling Meeting of the City Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters on January 1, 2022” published on the Internet, Liu Guozhong, secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, stated that Xi’an’s epidemic prevention and control has entered a “comprehensive moment of decisive battle.” , He demanded that “the goal of clearing society must be achieved on January 4th.”
According to official reports, the situation in Xi’an is still severe. On January 3, 2022, Xi’an added 2 high-risk areas and 7 medium-risk areas. As of January 3, Xi’an has 3 high-risk and 64 medium-risk areas.
Since January 2nd, key areas of Xi’an have carried out nucleic acid screening again in key areas.
The tricky behind “clearing”
According to local citizens, the authorities ordered that the society must be cleared on January 4, that is, in a community, if a confirmed case occurs in a building, then everyone in the building will be pulled away by bus for isolation. Then, the official will report upwards that this community has been “cleared”, and on January 4, the official will report to the public that the “social aspect has been cleared.” As for the outbreak of the epidemic again, the official will say that it was an epidemic that occurred at the isolation point.
According to another source, after the secretary of the Yanta District Party Committee of Xi’an was dismissed, the authorities required all districts to issue a “military order” and the community must be “cleared.” Why were so many people sent to the suburban resettlement houses for isolation overnight? Because it is not his responsibility to leave Yanta District, he doesn’t care if you are infected outside or not. In this way, the city of Xi’an achieved an overall victory in the first phase. This is not only the reason, but the most important reason is that as long as you pull out, more diagnoses will occur. They are diagnoses during the isolation period, not community transmission, and the community can announce “clearing” to the outside world.
Encounter at the isolation point
Since January 3, Xi’an Aeronautical Institute (Fenghui Campus), Taoyuan Road, Lianhu District, Xi’an has been adjusted to a high-risk area by the authorities. On the same day, Changyanbao Street in Yanta District was also adjusted to be a high-risk area.
Xi’an citizen Wang Qin (pseudonym) told The Epoch Times that the community is now very contagious, including Yanta District, High-tech District, Chang’an District, and Lianhu District. The Lianhu District where she lived was a low-risk area before, but now it has become a medium-high-risk area. Because there are more cases (cases) in Xi’an Aeronautical Institute, they have all been taken away.
According to mainland media reports, after Chang’an University, confirmed cases in Xi’an universities have reappeared. A total of 24 cases have been found on the Peihui campus and Yanliang campus of Xi’an Aeronautical University. Since December 27th, Xi’an Aeronautical Institute has opened the first “Emergency Relocation” in Xi’an since the current round of the epidemic.
Until December 29, the 2,000 teachers and students of Xi’an Aeronautical Institute were diverted to 4 counties and cities in Ankang, Shaanxi: Xunyang, Hanyin, Shiquan, and Langao.
However, according to a video released by local citizens, “people in the two urban villages in Xi’an are all isolated in a centralized manner, and houses that cannot be sold become resettlement sites! The so-called centralized resettlement is detention in disguise. If you lose your freedom, you don’t have to deal with any illness. “
Due to the poor conditions of the quarantine point, many citizens who were quarantined protested and returned home on foot.
Staying at home and eating helpless
Regarding the isolation point, many people describe it as a “detention center”, but for those people trapped at home, life is also very difficult. Many citizens went out to buy food but were officially banned; even a video posted by netizens showed that a man in Chang’an District, Xi’an City, only ate one meal a day, fell to the ground after being hungry and fainted with symptoms, but the result is unknown.
Ms. Wang from Xi’an recently told The Epoch Times that Xi’an was suddenly closed in the middle of the night and everyone was unprepared. Due to road closures, large trucks transporting daily necessities were blocked on the expressway and could not get up and down the highway. The people panic about the lack of supplies.
Ms. Wang said, “I feel like I’m out of control. I’m out of control as a whole. They just want to protect their black hats and seal villages, roads, and bridges everywhere. What do you think ordinary people eat and drink?”
