In Topics: China Kung Flu Stupidity Totalitarianism
From a post about a place with much too little border control, we move swiftly to a post about a place with too much.
The video below is not from Shanghai, but from a city 50 miles west (center-to-center) called Suzhou. It's in Jiangsu Province which is on the central east coast of China*. If you don't know the place, don't feel bad - it's just a small city of 12.7 million people. It appears these people have been LOCKDOWNed too by the evil Totalitarian Chinese Central Government.
The following film has neither the plot, nor the acting, nor the production values of a Great Escape, Birdmen or even a Hogan's Heroes. Plus it's not a full feature-length film. It's not even a film, per se. It's just some Chinese people getting the hell out of Suzhou, some under, and some over, this wall built to keep them in. Possibly it's just the wall to their apartment complex, but either way, let's not go envying the Chinamen for their freedoms anytime soon... or anything else ..
* As is Shanghai, but it and a few other cities are combination city and province. Otherwise, Shanghai couldn't help but be in Jiangsu too.

PS I really did think that good old Comrade Xi was smarter than this. Here he has the Great Satan on the run, and instead of chasing us down and putting us out of our misery, he turns on his own people.

PS: Haha, yeah, I remember "the Little Cockroach" coming out of the tunnel in the moonlight (or set lighting I suppose).
That's a shame, Mr. Ganderson. I assume you mean both the prisoners and the Germans.
My brother is a bigger fan than I, but it was a fun show.

PS
One of those guys looks like Louis LeBeau, AKA the “Little Cockroach”.
Fun fact, Robert Clary, who played LeBeau, is the last Hogan’s cast member still with us.

I guess the personal political struggle of Mr. Xi is more important to him than the Chinese people. As for the way this stupidity looks to the outside, maybe he's in that old mindset of "what happens in China, stays in China."
