Quite different from what is often shown, isn't it ? ( also by several alternative media outlets that do not shy away from scaring people and have made a business model out of it ).
A pilot project on social control is running in a limited part of one city ( namely Shanghai ). It is only a pilot project and therefore not permanent.
China is immense with a population of 1.4 billion. Outside the limited part of Shanghai, life is going on merrily. Nothing special. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying.
The situation is similar to the one in Ukraine where the Western press tries to make the public believe that the whole country is undergoing horrors while only a small part ( 15%) of the country is occupied territory where there is actual fighting. In the rest of the country ( 85%) there has never been anything going on. Don't let yourself be fooled.
