What if you get infected and end up getting the anal probing anyway?

Cheers.
For Chinese this is correct, for foreigners it is not.
That first article is for Overseas Chinese which I am not. The title of the article even says so: 海外华人!
As a foreigner coming back to Beijing, they specifically mention 14+7+7 several times, and it's a STRICTLY enforced "stay inside" for the whole last 7 days at my apartment. Water and food is brought to the front door.
Chinese could go outside, foreigners can NOT.

Since the last 7 days at your apartment is likely enforced by your neighborhood committee. I’d guess it comes down to how much of the “foreigners are spreading Covid everywhere” propaganda your neighborhood committee ingested and how much they like you.

Also conveyed by the agent that's doing some of the legwork in Beijing, in addition to the co-workers where I work.
They were quite explicit about this difference.

I was pretty much one of the only foreigners in the whole area anyway, so it's going to be easy to enforce!

I suspect THAT is the main reason for the difference. To save themselves all the headache of worried village folk, they simply won't allow the foreigners outside for the 7 days.

During my quarantine period, I will get another apartment, and will need to rely upon friends like travelinmanS to check it out (I will pay for this service).

I am going back to China end of next week. I will be doing the following:
14 days in isolation at assigned Quarantine hotel in Shanghai
7 days at a hotel in Shanghai after being released from the 14-day isolated quarantine.
7 days at my service apartment in Beijing.
My question for those who may experienced the similar situation is the 7-day Shanghai hotel before returning to Beijing:
Will all the commercially operated Shanghai hotels allow me to stay with a green code after being cleared the 14-day isolated quarantine?
I have read mixed responses on various blogs, but will try here for Flyertalkers' experience.

Luckily they accepted my end-of-quarantine certificate and negative PCR result that you get just before you leave quarantine.
I then appealed through the AliPay app (apparently a false red code is a regular occurrence) and the code turned green the next morning.

I got my second dose of Sinopharm yesterday, and they also hooked me up with Klonopin (only y6.8 for 21 pills!). PCR test needs to wait until tomorrow.

The certificate of quarantine release and the final test paperwork are your most prized possession for the first 30 days in China. Western chain hotels will all accept this in shanghai.
Make sure you have a China SIM card waiting for you in quarantine though. I assume you already have one of those.
