7:17 am
and the fact that it is suggests to me that this figure is not in cynical single digits. it's probably a lot higher than that. this has caused, you know, a lot of our knees for parents in shanghai. remember shang, i has one of the biggest international communities in china. so this is worrying also for foreign parents. there's plenty of anecdotal evidence, both online and elsewhere, to demonstrate just how unsettled people are. we know that parents and children have been separated. we know also that the chinese government is going to persist with this policy. it says that where a parent and a child have been infected, they can isolate together, but it say the parent has been infected and the child hasn't, than they have to be separated. now, foreign diplomats in shanghai have been contacting the foreign ministry in beijing to express their alarm. they want set there to be some sort of exemption for
7:18 am
diplomatic staff and the children of diplomatic staff to be able to isolate at home . but it does seem that china is determined to maintain this particular strategy as well as bringing victor gao. he is the vice president of the center for china and globalization that joins us live from beijing at victor. good job. you back with our so listen, looking down, shanghai and testing the entire population of 26000000 people is a massive undertaking by the chinese authorities. is it like it's a work? do you think? indeed, this is truly unprecedented. shy as the one of the largest metropolis is in the whole world with more than 25000000 people. on the other hand, china sticking to its 0 tolerance policy as far as the virus is concerned. and as far as chairman is concerned, china need to have one single strategy which covers the 4 corners of the whole land . because otherwise, if shanghai for example, follows
7:19 am
a very different strategy or little bit different strategy than the rest of china, then the whole national tragedy will fail. so i think i shall i need to really fully comply with national regulations and policies. ok. and this time, a testing is been done as we speak for the total population of about $25000000.00 people know what will be left behind. everyone need to go for that. and depending on the results of the testing, then you need to follow different policies. but, but we're hearing reports of children being separated from their parents and sent to these quarantine centers. i mean, this is causing huge concern amongst locals and foreigners alike indeed, toil sink about in the locking bough. the whole city of $25000000.00 to do testing, which last for about 3 or 4 days in total. there will be another unfortunate bins, inconveniences. but i think the overall goal is very simple. what that is to find the out, the test,
7:20 am
the results for the total population. and depending on the results of the testing, everyone need to follow a different procedure. i think all these inconveniences and sometimes really big headaches. she'll be understandable in this overall context because channel 0 powers policy means we want to leave no one behind elderly or young persons ever run. need to be kurt. let's just move on. i mean, how costly is this locked down like her to be then for china's economy? i'm in shanghai is a major hub for electronics, semiconductors, and even comedy factory. i seen chandler's philosophy is that where you are talking about saving people for eviction. saving people from death's cost should be secondary as a consideration. we need to save everyone in china regardless or their age is all the agenda. and regardless of their economic status, this is the bottom line. i think however,
7:21 am
based on this policy channel overall benefits, because right now, wherever you are in china, you have this certainty and predictability that whenever a case is discovered and confirmed, than the government has a set policy to go. and i think this creates predictability overall. i think john, as a whole country benefits from this very firm determination of wiping, i'll be infectious and curing and on just on just a wonderful tandoori as possible. just a, just a final thought to you on this issue. the policy is this major outbreak in shanghai, perhaps showing that china 0 cobit policy is actually failed. i mean, the rest of the world seems to be lifting restrictions. china's game the other way, looking down. and i tend to disagree because if we look at the numbers in the united states, and if we do this pro rata, or the chinese population in the united states of death is already up to about
7:22 am
1000000. you're talking about potentially 4000000 people die in china and the confirm the infection cases in the united states is approaching 100000000. so you're talking about potentially 400000000 people be infected. as far as china's cousin would you not want to have this kind of situation? we want to save everyone possible. so overall with china is the only country in the world today which still pursue ok, this 0 policy. and i think eventually china will be the winner. china is on the willing side rather than on the routing side. ok, we have to leave it there to go. always good to get your thoughts. thank you very much. indeed for talking to others. thank you very much. for having me, thank you. national bank as main opposition party has refused the president's offer to join the government instead urging him to step down to buy a raja packs and made the offer. after his cabinet resigned on sundays, and l fernandez reports from colombo, where people are protesting against the governments humbling of the countries
