From my post a few days ago about letting it rip until now there has been a lot of change, definitely backtracking on the opening up and instead cracking down harder in the battle between Xi Jinping’s China against the deadly Covid virus.

Based on the way this is going I’d advise anyone to avoid coming here in the near future until we see who wins out, ideology or nature. The risk of getting stuck or locked down is increasing day by day and I pushed up a trip to Southeast Asia by a few days in hopes of avoiding being stuck here.
