frustration the over the lock downs. almost 3 years after the pandemic broke out is increasingly putting beijing's 0 crowded policy under pressure. china's normally bustling capital resembles a ghost town with neighborhoods locked down and hold districts cut off. we have an appointment with jungling pan, a temporary worker who once helped us moved 15 days now he's been forbidden to leave his residential complete yet i'm like, hey, we can't earn money any more. the. the situation in beijing is very bad. and that's after and already very difficult year for us with constant corona, virus measures. we have to leave abruptly, the police are approaching, it seems they trying to stop all interviews about pandemic restrictions. we also wanted to talk to this person a food delivery driver, but he canceled shortly before he sent us videos from the police station after 5

hours. he was released authorities in china, i getting if a twit shia videos on social media show new temporary villages that looked like prisons. beijing keeps asymptomatic cases locked up in here. we are, after nearly 3 years of corona restrictions, many peoples patients is running out like here at apple supply of fox con. we workers were locked inside for weeks. this protest fueled by an additional blow. the loss of work has promised. pandemic bonuses on friday demonstrations also broke out in orem. she, the capital of gin john province has been locked down for 109 days. now, many people cannot leave their homes. the proteus was sparked by an apartment building fire in which team people locked inside,

died in the back to our interview attempts in beijing police cars, tail as constantly an interview partner from the morning, gets back to us. no, no, no, no, no one at had well, little people in white suits came to me and asked me who i was talking to. oh, i said i was speaking with foreign friends who i'd helped with moving. then they said, oh, you have foreign friends to you. you're staying inside from now. one of which actually killed was you. this is where he is now stack. his video cool shows us his home a courtyard. she had with 14 others. the kitchen is outdoors his room has no windows. china's 3rd covered winter. it's looking like the worst so far. ah, journalist, family and catch my is in beijing under lock downs, restrictions in the cell. fabian,

good to see you. tell us about the conditions you're dealing with right now. yeah, this afternoon, local time, my building got locked down. why? because one neighbor tested positive during the daily mass tests that we are facing already for many months now. and to give you an idea, i mean my building has 25 floors or so one person is positive or that means we all have to stay inside the building and locked on. that's that means that we are physically prevented from leaving. if i go downstairs, then at the building entrance, there will be a half a dozen people members of the local neighbourhood committee and also health workers in full has met suits and yet they, they build up a fence if i want to, you know, across that line they will get very unfriendly, so you're, you're literally locked in your own home. and that's the fate that many, beijing, us, or, i mean several 100 millions of chinese in the country are facing right now. so i'm not the only one. right?

and this of course is sir, is happening, are always, there is sutton, and you can only hope that your fridge is fully, are filled with everything that you need. i mean, any word on how long this might last giving this really unpredictability. that's exactly what makes us so mentally unnerving. you don't know how long it will last. am the neighborhood committee who runs our residential compound also does no, they won't give you any answer. so could be 5 days. but who knows if they discover another case could be another 5 days. this could go on and on. and really, even if we are free, um and you know everything is fine in one week. then you know, it's only a matter of time until we get locked, not locked down again. i mean, it's enough of only one person in the whole building tests positive again. so really you have a very deep sense of unpredictability. you cannot plan for the next week. and for me, i mean, i'm rather privileged, but i mean all the migrant workers, if they get locked down,

then they don't have much saving. so there really are under an existential economic threat here. right. and, and no wonder then they serve restrictions are like those they're describing. they've been very frustrating for many people and china to tell us more about the events in or, and she yeah, there was really a very tragic incident on thursday night. a fire broke out there wasn't a high rise residential building on the 15th floor. and yet the claims are that, you know, those 10 deaths could have been prevented if there was not a, you know, an excessive looked on because the rescue workers, they needed a very long time to get to the building. am because of all the fancy vista restrictions of movement, then also the a people in the compound they could not leave so easily because there were locks. apparently the fire exit also is supposed to have been locked. and i mean, that's very credible. i've seen that and also karen teen facility. see that,

you know, the exit, are you really with an iron locked m a close to? so, i mean, that's very tragic and it's not the 1st time that people are dying because of the tragic side effects of those locked down. it's rudy and sparked a lot of anger and people lucy or they've gone to the streets. they have protested and they do that and a very, very great risk and under great danger, but still they're so fed up, they have nothing to lose. they went on to the streets and actually it helped us the next day, the local government set. okay. we basically clearing up now and i'm relaxing some of the restrictions. and is this some saying, as that can be sustainable, the relaxation, i mean, how big of a challenge, obese predecessor will witnessing and china to the country say, look on the policy yet the frustration is as high as it has never been before. or during the pandemic, if you go on social media, you see a lot of chinese posting very critical am a statements, very critical videos and also those who are actually not. so

a political or who are not. so we're, we're rather patriotic, but even they've had enough and the sense of us are really, it's at working overtime. you scroll through, oh, social media, opening links and the next morning everything is deleted. so it's, it's really shows you something. and usually i would say that, you know, those anger on social media could also disappear soon. it has happened before, but nowadays, i mean it's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel because even despite those really strong locked downs, the cases are rising m. beijing is posting record high numbers. the country is also posting a record high numbers also the already the 4th consecutive day. so i mean, the restrictions will go on if the government doesn't change its course, but right now they're really doubling down on the recovered. so am, i don't see any solution for that. this really a lot of frustration here. all right, a journalist fabia and catch my, they're reporting for us from beijing himself in lockdown as well. fab in thank you
