Podcasts about shanghai lockdown

Interview with Klaire and Alex of GUJI 咕叽, EP of GUJI 咕叽, a quirky synth-driven new wave quartet comprised of Chinese nationals Klaire (synths), Alex (bass), Stacy (drum machine) and American guitarist and singer for Shanghai punk band Round Eye Chachy with an interview. The EP will be released in late Summer August 25 by Floridian label Godless America. The EP was produced by frequent Modern Sky Recordings producer Li Wei Yu To say 2020-2022 were bleak years to live in Shanghai would be the understatement of the century. With the implementation of the “0-Covid policy” and the “Shanghai Lockdown”, a fucked attempt by the CCP to curb the transmission rate of the Covid-19 pandemic, the city became still. Businesses shuttered, schools closed, planes landed, shows cancelled and borders closed. For three years, China seemed without pulse as very little traffic ran between it and the outside world. Guizhou native Jiang Zi Xiu (Klaire) and Craig Englund (Chachy) were stuck in their home for months as a makeshift wall of plywood and bamboo rods was raised at the entrance and exits of the alleyway outside their door. Guards in hazmat suits were placed to conduct daily PCR tests and make sure no one came in or out. It was under these conditions that the couple decided to fill their time and their walls with the double lead harmonies, jangling B-52 styled guitar and cheesy drum machine pulse of the sardonic bubblegum-arpeggiated synthpop of GUJI咕叽. Heavily influenced by the aesthetic of 80s DEVO, B-52s, and My Little Pony the duo channels their frustrations and observations into vivid DIY videos channeling the work of Chuck Statler and blast humorously sardonic synthpop jams lined with pastel colored neon lights. With their first self-titled EP, they turn their anger into childish jeering fun in an overwhelmingly hostile political landscape and with songs like “I like to Hang Out in China” and “My Mao Suit” the band waves at the outside world with hammer and sickle and dares those who listen to not strip and dance in the hot pink fire.

As I am once again locked in at home, things are getting rather touchy on a bridge in Beijing, as well as online, threatening to spoil the Party's Big Party... All due credit to Samuel Wade for excellent episode name idea

China's economy has grown faster than any other over the last 40 years — but there are troubling signs ahead. How could a Chinese economic downturn affect people in the rest of the world? Houze Song, a fellow at MacroPolo who specializes in the Chinese economy, explains how slowing economic growth, an aging society, and a looming property crisis have implications not just for China, but for the United States and beyond.

After two months of a gruelling strict lockdown, Shanghai has emerged a changed city, some residents say. During the 65 toughest days, some were reduced to begging for food and pleading for access to their young children from whom they'd been separated. The regime wasn't just brutal, some claim, it was largely fruitless, as the omicron strain of Covid continues to spread now. What's more the economic fallout for China's commercial capital, and key supply chains across the country and internationally, are only gradually becoming apparent. What's the legacy of Shanghai's zero-Covid experiment? Producer and Presenter Ed Butler Studio mix by Neil Churchill Production coordinators Iona Hammond and Gemma Ashman Editor Penny Murphy

Twenty percent of China's international trade flows through Shanghai, so when the port was hit by a lockdown at the start of April 2022, the repercussions quickly rippled across the globe. Companies such as Apple, Tesla, Adidas and Este Lauder all warned of disruption to their supply chains and the likelihood of higher costs for consumers. The enforced period of isolation has been a worrying time for Shanghai's 25 million residents. In this week's podcast, Frank Tsai - who's been confined to his apartment in Shanghai for many weeks - speaks to presenter Duncan Bartlett about his experiences and considers the economic implications of China's so-called “zero-Covid” approach. Frank Tsai is the founder of China Crossroads.   China In Context: Episode 65 Broadcast date: 17 May, 2022

Despite weeks of lockdown, Shanghai authorities have enhanced anti-COVID measures in a bid to achieve zero cases in all 16 districts, with some residential compounds being fenced off and daily mass testing for thousands of residents. 

While in Australia we're now learning to live with COVID, that's not the case in China.  For more than a month, dozens of cities including Shanghai have endured strict and at times bizarre lockdowns, as authorities battle to contain an outbreak of Omicron, and the capital, Beijing, could be next. Today, ABC East Asia correspondent Bill Birtles on why the Chinese government could stick to its COVID-zero policies for years to come.  Featured:  Bill Birtles, ABC East Asia correspondent

This may be one of the most (if not THE most) important episodes we've ever done. We chat with Elizabeth Lui who has been living in China for 17 years, the bulk of which has been in Shanghai. She walks us through the reality of what is happening right now in Shanghai and her words tell of a haunting humanitarian crisis while ringing a shrill warning bell. This is not an episode to be missed... we cannot state that clearly enough. She takes us through every bit of the restrictions and the impact it has had on their lives. From splitting 1 egg between 2 people for food conservation to disguising herself in a hazmat suit to go outside. Again... this story NEEDS to be heard. Listen to this important message, share it to be part of the solution, and thank Elizabeth for her courage in speaking out! https://www.instagram.com/cecily.dickey/ https://www.instagram.com/ritarogersco/ https://www.instagram.com/elizabethcliu/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Will Musk's Twitter be influenced by China?; Video: foreigner collapses amid Shanghai lockdown

It's a strange time in Beijing right now, with mandatory testing and food flying off the shelves at supermarkets. Sports take a back seat, as Mark and Haig brace for a possible lockdown (0:52). Will the Asian Games in Hangzhou — scheduled for September this year — be postponed (6:02)? What kind of spectacle could we expect – bubble or not (8:21)? Haig talks about Shannon Bufton, a competitive cyclist turned Beijing bike maker and route planner (9:20).We catch up again with Cameron Wilson, who — one month later — is still in lockdown (15:00). He shares his lows of the past month, plus the occasional high (17:53), but at least the food situation has improved with the arrival of an army of delivery drivers (19:24). China's case-counting headscratcher — and the new definition of cases “in society” — has once again muddied the situation (20:02). It's a little like Lord of the Flies in Cammy's compound, with four recent cases, despite weeks of being locked at home (21:26). Cammy hits his stride here, arguing that this outbreak was entirely predictable, and asks why on earth more people haven't been vaccinated (23:00). He's been in Shanghai for more than 16 years: Has he reached his limit (24:58)?In a seamless transition to football, former Manchester United and Belgium player Marouane Fellaini has returned to China ahead of the start of the CSL season (27:43), which will expand from 16 to 18 teams this year, despite the widespread financial insecurity (29:07). Could a small Shandong city host this year's league in a bubble (29:28)? And is the 2023 Asian Cup, set for China next June, in doubt (31:12)? When is — or should be — the cutoff date for making a decision on whether or not to hold it here (32:42)? Finally, Cameron leaves us with a story about banging pots and yelling out of the window (34:00).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Covid-19 restrictions in Australia have eased further over the weekend as we continue to adjust to living with the virus, but for the more than 25 million people who call Shanghai home, life looks very different as they remain in one of the world's toughest lockdowns. Reports of people being forced to stay in their homes without even basic food, medicines and other essentials are widespread, even though the Chinese Government is trying to play them down. The Quicky speaks to a woman who recently escaped from Shanghai and an expert in China to find out what is really going on in one of Asia's biggest cities, and why the Communist Government is still pursuing a policy of Covid zero when everyone else has determined that it's just not realistic.

Shanghai is still under arguably the world's most strict Covid lockdown since the pandemic began. Some residents have been locked inside their apartments for over 50 days. Amid news of food shortages, internet censors taking down posts of frustrated citizens, Shanghai residents are keen to have their voices heard.  We talk to Jorge Castellanos, standup comedian based in Shanghai. Jorge owns two businesses, he's married to a Chinese citizen and has been in lockdown in over a month now.   Sounds of April: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bguwCndTUOA Photo by Nico De Rouge, check out his work here:  https://nicoderouge.com/   Support us to keep making the show by joing us on Patreon wherw we post weekly bonus eps every Thursday.

At a time when most parts of the world are easing COVID restrictions and even mask mandates, Shanghai is in the middle of a brutal lockdown. There have been reports of a sharp spike in the number of cases, although reported deaths are and restricted to the very old. Shanghai's 25 million residents seem to be increasingly fed up with the government's ‘Zero COVID' policy, which has caused supply chain bottle necks resulting in shortages of food and other essentials, and denial of medical care for patients with non-COVID illnesses. There have also been reports of little children getting separated from parents forcibly sent away to quarantine shelters. Until this March, there was a general sense that China had managed the pandemic way better than the West, especially when viewed in terms of the total case load and mortality numbers. So how did thing things get out of hand all of a sudden? Is it a case of the ‘Zero COVID' strategy backfiring? Is it the Omicron variant? Given that President Xi Jinping has taken personal ownership of the ‘Zero COVID' strategy, is China likely to make a course correction in view of the economic fallout and public disenchantment with the stringent lockdown measures?

Joe Biden – after his supply-chains speech – turned to his right and shook hands with thin air in a highly worrying display of declining mental health. The video has been viewed 16,000,000 times within 3 days in Twitter. He then turns away from the camera and appears lost and confused, before wandering off. In other news, protests have broken out in Shanghai due to strict COVID-19 lockdowns and human rights abuses on its 25 million residents. #joebiden #sleepyjoe #letsgobrandon #BidenIsALaughingstock

Shanghai has been under severe lockdown for three weeks for reasons the Chinese government says are entirely to do with enforcing its 'Zero Covid' policy of playing whack-a-mole with any and all expressions of 'Covid cases'. By their own admission, the city of 26 million people has just 25,000 'cases', mostly asymptomatic, and ZERO deaths. So why put the population under such duress 'to save lives'?

No matter which side you believe, the optics are bad: Russia announcing that its flagship cruiser in the Black Sea, the Moskva, had sunk while being towed. It was after a fire on board, says the Kremlin, a Ukranian-made Mercury type missile, claims Kyiv. The Russian response quick in coming bombing a factory southwest of the capital that makes Neptune missiles and throwing up new unconfirmed claims that Ukraine's hitting targets across the border.

Covid-19 in Shanghai is causing widespread distress as the government continues with its biggest city-wide lockdown since the start of the pandemic. The city of 25 million is closed for regular business while authorities conduct massive testing. China is one of the only places in the world still following a zero-Covid policy. The city government has asked residents "to support, understand and cooperate with the city's epidemic prevention and control work" as it attempts to stamp out the virus. Corin Dann spoke with Beijing correspondent Patrick Fok, who said the lockdown has outlasted expectations, and no one knows when it will end.

The local market managed to close with a small gain of 0.08% yesterday, a 10-week high for the benchmark ASX200 index. Sectors wise, the materials sector posted the biggest gain, and the financials, utilities and consumer staples sectors also lifted. While the remaining sectors posted losses, with the tech sector down the most. Looking at the ASX200 leaderboard, materials stocks led the way, with seven making the top 10 list, including BHP Group (ASX:BHP) up 2.3%, fertiliser company, Incitec Pivot (ASX:IPL) up 2.3% and Champion Iron (ASX:CIA) up 2.2%. On the flipside, tech shares were amongst the worst performers, with Xero (ASX:XRO), Tyro Payments (ASX:TYR), Novonix (ASX:NVX) and WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC) posting losses. The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients yesterday, included Woodside Petroleum (ASX:WPL), Westpac (ASX:WBC) and Telstra (ASX:TLS). Westpac's share price is up about 10% from the start of this year and Citi are optimistic on the stock, naming Westpac as its top choice compared to the other big four banks. Moving to the US, all three benchmarks are in the green, with the Nasdaq up the most. This was thanks to a modest 8% jump in Telsa's share price, after the electric vehicle maker said it wants to split its stock to pay a stock dividend. Energy stocks slid alongside the price of oil, which we will touch on shortly.What to watch today: The futures are suggesting that the Aussie share market is set to open 0.52% higher this morning.  Economic news wise, retail sales for February will be released today. This estimates the turnover and volumes for retail businesses, including store and online sales. Tonight, all eyes will be on the 2022-23 Federal Budget that will be announced at 7.30 pm (AEDT). It's a pre-election budget, with the election less than a couple of months away.In commodities, the oil price slid over 9% as new lockdowns in Shanghai prompted fears of a slowdown in demand, given China is the world's largest oil importer. The WTI crude oil price has fallen to around US$103 a barrel. The gold price also fell about 1.8% on a firmer US dollar and yields. On the flipside, the spot iron ore price is trading 2.8% higher to US$146 a tonne.Sigma Healthcare (ASX:SIG) is set to release its financial year 2022 results.Trading Ideas: Bell Potter have maintained its BUY rating on electric services company, GenusPlus Group (ASX:GNP) and have increased its price target to $1.72 (previously $1.40). Bell Potter maintain their positive view on GNP's demand outlook. This is supported by planned upgrades to east coast interconnector infrastructure, ageing distribution infrastructure and structural tailwinds in renewables investment. GNP closed about 0.8% lower yesterday to $1.21, which implies about 42% share price growth in a year. Trading Central has a bullish signal on NEXTDC (ASX:NXT), indicating that the stock price may rise from the close of $11.08 to the range of $12.40- $12.70 in the next 24 days according to standard principals of technical analysis. 

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show with Tesla: Shares up sharply after the company disclosed it will ask shareholders to approve an increase in the number of additional shares, in order to enable another stock split.
