What's going on in China lately

[zanezane]

Nothing wrong with any of that because ports are subject to pandemic restrictions too so it's nothing to worry about plus your item will still arrive no matter although a bit delayed. They will get back to work immediately.

I think the news that China News has not released should be inaccurate. The news of the epidemic should not be released by the transportation company, so I think it is inaccurate. This may just be an excuse. I learned from my Chinese friends that the epidemic in China is well controlled, and it may be caused by other reasons.

I didn't buy things in China because the pandemic is not completely healed, but watching the news media releases did not say that China banned exports. Although they are all vaccinated, it is more convenient to buy things locally.

They are just being conscious to  secure the health of the individual within their country. As I've read here that the shipping are delay due to congestion. Also, sanitation of shipped products are significant to make sure the covid19 virus will not spread again. They might just control the import and export transmissions but not totally to eliminate the process.

[Wendy Simth]

China is a country where people are vaccinated with 2 million vaccines a day. If all nations were as disciplined, the pandemic would have ended long ago.

How do we know this?
I completely agree with avikz, we have zero idea of what's actually happening in China right now, heck, no one outside of China even has an accurate map of China.. The Chinese block literally all English websites as well, for example BitcoinTalk is banned in China (https://www.comparitech.com/privacy-security-tools/blockedinchina/bitcointalk/)

Yes, Similar news are popping into Google again but no one knows the truth. The government of China has made it so difficult to bring out their news to the world, you really can't trust any random sources. It seems the Delta variant has made a progress into China again. But I didn't see any government notification regarding this yet. Possibly we will see it in coming days.

How do you know what you think is right?
I have friends who work in China, so I can know what China really looks like more truthfully, which is completely different from what the media reported. It is not that China does not allow true news to be released, but that many media deliberately report wrong news.

Some of the suppliers I know of that came from China are also saying the same thing. I guess because China is the first one to ease restrictions on COVID-19 despite being the epicenter of the outbreak. They immediately became lax about the health restrictions, and treated the situation as nothing severe and sent students to schools and businesses open. I am no longer surprised that the resurgence of COVID-19 on China is happening, plus the fact that a more contagious variant is just around the corner.

It seems like China will slow down in growing their economy.if the trend continues. It's better to slow down things once more rather than pretend that nothing's happening.

5 months ago my brother imported some things from china and it took 5 months to arrive in my country, before the pandemic things took about 2 months and 15 days to arrive in my country, but with this pandemic to import something from china to my country parents it takes more than 4 months, the person even thinks it will never arrive, I was surprised when the extinct post office in my country called my brother to take the things he imported from china, it had taken 5 months to arrive in my country

It's better to slow down things once more rather than pretend that nothing's happening.

they are a very dark government that hide everything from the people. they were even denying entry to investigators to discover the origin of the covid.

[Reosta_]

Actually, China were the number one country to handle the covid-19 period. While the countries all around the world were dealing with it, they started making things right and even their economy has grown at a really serious rate. I wonder what's really happening now.

[TheGreatPython]

Anyone shopping from China lately? I think CoV19 is slowly showing up in China again, I ordered for some GPU from China and I got message that I might not get my orders fully delivered to me because of ongoing covid shit in China again

You are right because I searched google and it looks like the virus cases have started again in China and because of the government they have in China, the news doesn't come as organic as it comes from other parts of the world. The government in China has good control over the media and is censored before it is shown outside.

It might be also based on what you have ordered because the virus originated in China and maybe they are being extra careful before shipping products outside because China is one of the biggest exporters in the world and when a pandemic like covid-19 spreads in such a country, they have to take extra security measures.

[Lucius]

The only new thing was that now that I also had to pay some taxes and VAT, but I'm from EU.

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to import small packages in the EU up to, I think, 20 EUR worth without paying customs duties and VAT, which in most cases makes such a purchase unprofitable. My packages came with a big delay at the beginning of the pandemic and I haven't ordered anything since then because of that, and as things stand now, I think ordering from China will become a thing of the past for me.

[HardCore12V]

I don't think so. China's control of the epidemic is very strict, and the people have basically resumed their normal life trajectory. This may just be an excuse for shipping delays.

Have you used Google search lately? If not then I suggest you check china up right now, the covid still exists in that country and they are trying their best not to make it go viral again I guess, the covid fight isn't over yet

[perryxi2]

Regarding covid 19 in China currently the number of infected people is a questionable number. because they are liars they never tell the truth about it, it is because of these things that china in every field they are always liars. including buy and sell or cryptocurrencies, chinese products make mistakes and kill people everyday, i don't like buying chinese products.

[Xinarae*]

There are a lot of complications in what is going on in china lately a lot is happening with covid 19 and various diplomatic relations are going on. There is uncertainty as to whether he will be able to buy the vaccine because of a breach of confidentiality agreement however, the issue is being discussed at the diplomatic level from china no progress has been made yet. China is committing various crimes but there is no solution to it they have published many false news about crypto.

[icopress]

What the fuck? I would understand if you ordered mining equipment or drugs that a veto on ordinary goods is a fail. Although I know little about transport logistics, what I know is enough for me, and I can definitely say that all the personnel of bulk carriers who transport goods from China are vaccinated against covid by default. Sorry for my broken En, but I'm disappointed.

[FloridaKid]

I don't think this should be a problem since the goods will surely be vaccinated to avoid spreading the virus, I'd say have some patience and you will get your goods delivered to you, this is just a precaution and I believe that's the best thing to do

[justdimin]

I didn't buy things in China because the pandemic is not completely healed, but watching the news media releases did not say that China banned exports. Although they are all vaccinated, it is more convenient to buy things locally.

I cannot blame you for avoiding Chinese products because a lot of people are doing it but logically speaking, if you import something from china it takes a long time before they are delivered and even if the virus was present on the items, it would be killed by the time you get it.

Back when the virus was deadly in Wuhan, China even then claimed the situation was under control while it wasn't always in control.

Nothing wrong with any of that because ports are subject to pandemic restrictions too so it's nothing to worry about plus your item will still arrive no matter although a bit delayed. They will get back to work immediately.

Yeah, but he isn't worried about getting the shipping late, but he is surprised and so am I because it almost feels like china has wiped coronavirus completely but that isn't the case it seems.

[radjie]

whatever happens in China now, I won't care.  To be honest, I don't really like products made in China, let alone make direct purchases sent from China.  China is known to be able to damage the market prices of well-known products by hijacking similar products, besides the impact of the pandemic that originally came from China was very damaging to the mental and global economy, even the COVID-19 virus has not completely disappeared from this earth until now.

[Princejebs]

Anyone shopping from China lately? I think CoV19 is slowly showing up in China again, I ordered for some GPU from China and I got message that I might not get my orders fully delivered to me because of ongoing covid shit in China again, here is a screenshot



Even there are news concerning this on Google too

China is not alone on this mate.
Herr in my country, they have restricted some high school students from physical lectures. This was after a huge number cases were found within the students. They had to closed down the school again for quarantine and fumigation.
Spread of virus are easily avoided through proper prevention than the cure itself, if this is actually effective in preventing it, I command their efforts.

[ILuckyGuyI]

China is actually the best country to deal with covid period so far. The economy of the country has even grown at least 8% after gathering itself up. But it's really surprising to see it having new problems with covid now. It looks like the new variants have affected them also.

[Gorosden]

The only reason why I'd shop from China stores is because of mining issue affecting miners in China right now, they will have to sell their GPUs to other parts of the world so I believe it's worth the risks if the GPU prices are good enough
