Shanghai, with a population of more than 26 million, has been under lockdown for almost 3 weeks, causing an increasingly dire situation. The local people are struggling for food, supplies, and access to medical care.
The Chinese communist regime’s state TV network CCTV recently reported that more than 1,000 supermarkets and stores in Shanghai have resumed operation and that there is a “sufficient supply” of daily necessities.
However, Chinese netizens posted online saying the news is fake.
On April 16, CCTV’s “Network News Broadcast” reported a news package titled “Shanghai persistent in dynamic clearing while ensuring supplies of daily necessities,” showing video footage of “adequate goods and supplies in stores.” The news broadcast claimed that as of April 15, “1,011 key supermarkets and stores in Shanghai have reopened, 42 non-infected warehouses of e-commerce platforms have resumed business, and 779 non-infected front warehouses have resumed business.”
