when china shutdown domestic movement into/out of Wuhan they kept open international movement into/out of Wuhan ... at the same time neighbor countries with china tried to block cross boarder movement yet china forced those trade routes to stay open well after Wuhan had entered lockdown - pure evil
- vezycash 7y ago>when china shutdown domestic movement into/out of Wuhan they kept open international movement into/out of Wuhan I'd like someone else to confirm this because I've not heard about this before now.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoA quick Googing indicates that Wuhan airport closed when the city was put into lockdown and re-opened yesterday when the lockdown of the city was lifted. This makes sense considering that, when the lockdown started, many countries had to discuss with the Chinese government in order to allow special flights to evacuate their citizens.
- FooBarWidget 7y ago> when china shutdown domestic movement into/out of Wuhan they kept open international movement into/out of Wuhan Evidence for this claim? I believe they closed all movement, including international flights.

- bigpumpkin 7y agoThis is false, by the time they shut down movement out of Wuhan, the airport was closed. There were, however, people who already left Wuhan who then left the country. There were also repatriation flights out of Wuhan.
- christkv 7y agoI think people forget that they gave 48h warning before the lockdown happened causing a huge amount of what was likely infected people to flee.

- lemontruth 7y agoIt was 8 hours: "At 2 am on 23 January 2020, authorities issued a notice informing residents of Wuhan that from 10 am [..] residents of Wuhan were also not allowed to leave the city without permission from the authorities." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Hubei_lockdowns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Hubei_lockdowns where is the 48h come from?

- FooBarWidget 7y agoBecause HN and the english speaking world is usually so anti-China, that people who are neutral of China get angry responses or are downvoted badly. Note: I am not even saying supportive of China; even being neutral is already considered unacceptable or lunacy by many people. Things are so bad that many people are afraid to speak up for China using their own identities. I used to be one of those people who were afraid. But now I have had enough. I personally experienced the lockdown in China and how distorted the western reporting is. That is why now I am stepping out and letting my voice known.
- behnamoh 7y agoChina is to blame for all of this, and the fact that they did some things right, doesn't clean their fault.

- z2 7y ago> when china shutdown domestic movement into/out of Wuhan they kept open international movement into/out of Wuhan The first result I found on Google says the airport was shut down to all departures, along with all public transit. They didn't immediately shut down international driving in private cars, I suppose. https://www.ifn.news/posts/china-shuts-down-wuhan-airport-amid-virus-outbreak/ https://www.ifn.news/posts/china-shuts-down-wuhan-airport-am... > at the same time neighbor countries with china tried to block cross boarder movement yet china forced those trade routes to stay open well after Wuhan had entered lockdown Are you referring to trade of goods? That has been the general approach in most countries even after restricting human travel, as the prevalent thought is that non-living goods don't replicate and shed the virus.
