Can you imagine trying to get a bunch of Americans in their 20’s to follow all those rules and let themselves be tracked all day and night to make sure they do?
AIDS from America. I also know a rumor that American gets AIDS because they have do somethingoohhh nooo. I feel so bad for those people who might lose their job working in the wet market that caused a world wide pandemic where 30 million people in USA alone lost their jobs. OHHH I FEEL SO BAD KEEP IT OPEN

replace Chinese government with every government
Perhaps China's communist government can answer one question, why airplanes continued to fly out of China after Wuhan was locked-down.
Yeah, indeed it's always communist's fault, haha.
Perhaps I can ask one question, why doesn't NYC even have a lock-down (sooner) like Wuhan?
If airplanes are banned by the Chinese government, you guys will also whine about authoritarianism, am I right? "Limiting people's freedom to travel outside so they can be put in concentration camps to die without treatment."
Calm down, this is about Foxconn's measure to stop the second outbreak, be happy when measures like this are put out so people won't die.
Watch London Real interview from 6 April and your question probably will get answered.

If other nations wanted to prevent the flights, they easily could have after learning about the lockdown. Many countries that implemented travel restrictions from China early on like Singapore and UAE had only minor and manageable outbreaks.

China's communist party is interested in the welfare of the party. The citizens prop-up the party.
Because China is a huge country, roughly the size of the US. If there are signs of an outbreak in Portland, Maine should you stop flights from Portland Oregon?
So the Chinese government wanted to kill the people who buy the products manufactured in China... Very smart!Because China is an authoritarian 1-party country that has some issues with the West, I can easily speculate they saw an opportunity to weaponize this virus. They knew Western democracies would have a harder time containing the virus.

Forum members, try actually tagging an editor or the writer of the article, if you want to actually have them read your request - you don't think they read every single comment on every single article, do you?Macrumors, proofread your articles. I caught at least 4 mistakes in there.

Well, technically yes, but almost 1 in 10 people are party members, so it's not as clear cut as the party only looking after a tiny few. Like it or not, the citizens prop up the party because there has been a steadily increasing standard of living for individuals and collective prosperity over the past decades, lifting hundreds of millions from below the poverty line. It's not without a lot of obvious and systemic issues of course, but western media and people outside China tend to focus so much on the communism part that they forget the main reason the government is generally well liked.
Unlike many of you would've imagine, managing a mega factory of 100,000 people is definitely no easy job.
I didn't say China's communist party is a "tiny few". The party has a huge membership. However, there is, like a typical political party, a select few that really have all the privileges.
Lift people out of poverty and they will like you. Everyone knows this about the relationship between China's communist party and its people. But, their party also believes it has to make a huge draconian police state. So "generally well liked" is probably not the best term to describe the relationship. Maybe a better description is "China's government gives its people hope for a better future".
Sure there are people who have privileges, but those are people who either have money or power, regardless of whether they are party members, as with all societies. Of course, government officials have to be party members, but that's not really a high bar nor is it as serious as people make it seem. Typically moderately high achievers in school will get to join the party, which basically like a positive mark on their permanent record, which is good for find jobs in State owned corporations and/or going to higher education.
Despite the censorship and control of information, the "police state" in China isn't all that capable when it comes down to really controlling the daily lives of its citizens. People are free to badmouth the government all the time and it's not uncommon to see someone arguing with a policeman who is trying to enforce some mundane traffic law. The government steps in if you are a dissident actively trying to overthrow it but otherwise they just don't care. With less than half of the U.S.'s police per capita, it's simply not possible to track everyone all the time and enforce all the rules, even with the help of technology. In any case, the economic and life standard progress made in the past few decades has given people concrete reasons to expect a better future, which is why most policies are supported and the sentiment toward the government as a whole is generally more positive than many other countries.
Censorship and control of information is a lot of power over people.
They're getting better and better at controlling daily lives of citizens. They have some kind of 'social credit' rating system. You lose points if you do irresponsible or bad things.
How many "dissidents" does China have in prisons or camps?
It is possible to track everyone. They'll get there eventually.
comment that Mainlanders seem to be rather lax with their hygiene
"A Foxconn employee told The Washington Post that workers are provided with a face mask and have their temperatures checked regularly, plus there are infrared cameras to check people for fevers as they walk by."
Well, i guess it's not all bad. From how good they are when it helps "us" to privacy invasion, in the space of who knows how long...
These will have double-uses, but i only agree with one of them. They are not gonna be dismantled.. It will be that "light bulb" that goes off in Chna that says "This gives us a better idea'
I’d start with closing down the wet markets, not reopening them (insane).
