My parents are in China (Shandong province) and they are free to travel across cities. Restrictions (aka lockdowns) are lifted and cities are getting busy again. Generally, back to normal, aside from school closures.

Most recent news from this morning: Schools are opening across the country in stages from April. This is strong signal. I don't think "coverup" and "school opening" can do together because viruses won't listen to either CCP or Trump.

As a Chinese with so many friends in China, I would say that articles from WSJ/NYT about China may not reflect the reality. They are telling the truth, but there are many truths and reporters just want to pick whatever they want. E.g., there are sad stories for sure, but there are also plenty of moving good stories. In this mixed-up world I found it very difficult to find real "objective" reports, aside from your own eyes...

Yes absolutely this the reason why I refrain from basing my opinions solely on the reports coming from western outlets, they've been notoriously known for practicing "lying by omission" essentially stating true facts while completely disregarding other important factors and details that would otherwise go against whatever narrative they are trying to push on their readership.

Thanks for the uplifting report and take care out there mate.
