Shanghai lock down starting to wind down: in hindsight a success
Channel: Harald in China
Date: 2022-04-22

Despite massive criticism from the West, the lock down of Shanghai is successfully winding down, numbers of new cases are decreasing, nobody died (and no, nobody was actually starving).
Why does a majority of Chinese want stronger measures not softer ones? I start discussing these questions in a short video, as my long one doesn't seem to upload these days.

Channels I recommend that help me make sense of current events and global politics (if you like any of them, you won't hate my channel):

Coverage on the ground in Ukraine outside of Kiev (must see!): https://www.youtube.com/c/PatrickLancasterNewsToday

The Duran (top quality analysis and overview of a vast range of media reports to make sense of news beyond the MSM, recently a lot of live coverage from people inside Ukraine beyond Kiev) https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDuran

The Grayzone (best investigative news channel I know of) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXR...

New Atlas (top fact based research on Western hypocrisy, imperialism especially with focus on South East Asia and China) https://www.youtube.com/c/TheNewAtlas 

Alexander Mercouris (daily analysis of world politics, my daily breakfast) https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexanderMe...

The Hill (especially the "radars" by Kim, most watch-worthy US news channel) https://www.youtube.com/c/thehill

Kim Iversen (excellent critical analyst from the US without clear political bias) https://www.youtube.com/c/KimIversen

Notable scholars to watch (they frequently appear on various channels)
