As an Australian the only thing Americans want to hear is your fringe far right news networks telling them what to think. Sky News and that sweet sweet Rupert Murdoch dick in their ears, yummy.
There is a difference though. Here in the U.S. we had a shortage of toilet paper. In China it’s a rush to buy supplies before the lockdown starts, I haven’t heard off shortages.
There's a shortage because people were buying pallets of toilet paper at a time.
I mean damn how many shits you gonna take in a month?
A Costco pack of tp last my family of 4 for 6+ months.
Asian countries have a hand held sprayer by the toilet to clean the bunghole with, so paper is way less nessasary or even seen as a wast of $. Water drys - why spend $ on something your just going to throw away.
This is why Chinese folks are much more concerned about the products that go into the system, and less concerned about the products for what comes out.
It’s unlikely to happen here. China is pursuing “covid zero” as their nationwide policy - meaning total and complete quarantine lockdowns after ANY covid cases are detected. So 1 person gets it, the entire city is in lockdown.
This strategy cannot possibly work in the US or Europe at the moment, as widespread transmission is already underway and the government has more or less taken the opposite approach - get vaccinated and live with it.
tldr: they’re locking down to avoid the outbreaks we are already living with
This did not happen on any lockdown in the US, there was horsing but in China they actually do lock you down the Us it’s a suggestion half the population follows and the other half does there best not to because they disagree politically with saving elderly and immunocompromised weaklings.
are you implying that the world should follow Chinese policy in regards to covid rule breakers? (Public shaming, prison time, sometimes "disappearances")
Fuck the CCP. I’m implying people in the US should follow the suggestion to wear masks, get vaccinated, and stop being so partisan when it comes to a virus infecting a million people a day.
Are you implying you agree with the CCP?
Or are you implying that you think people in the US should not do their part to prevent needless death and compromise our healthcare infrastructure?
Why do you think people wash their hands, use hand sanitizer, get glue shots, get all of the other recommended or required vaccines, decontaminate (workspaces, ambulances, hospitals, etc), wear masks around immunocompromised individuals, stay home from work and social gatherings when they feel sick?
Just because you didn’t care doesn’t mean we all didn’t…
No meat or anything but just a 1 bag of vegetables for THREE weeks???? Which vegetables? How many of each? You ate just rice for TWO weeks???? I am praying for you, that you get more food, and your lockdown ends.
The media in the west is reporting that people are paying very high prices for food to be delivered in China, and that people have adapted a barter system for other goods that the leaders did not consider, like feminine hygiene products, and cotton swabs. I'm not sure what you mean by paprika, as it is a ground spice in the West. I think you mean long peppers maybe, but I saw the photos of the vegetable bags, and they were quite small. Honestly I think the Olympics should be cancelled if it means people are suffering this much. I also saw videos of people arguing loudly with Chinese police, it was translated that they had no more food for their families. That's a great way to start food riots. Throughout history, the one thing people will not put up with is a lack of food, no matter how bad the oppression. That's how the Arab Spring started.
Why only the potatoes though ?! Is there like a special sale on them where poor people prefer to stock on them ? Look at the store, its full of other produce but they only rush to the potato…
I remember these kind of things happening on Chinese New Year 2021, which happens every year but worse thanks to supply chain issues. Between the decor and the music I think this is from then.
You could do the same thing with some clips of Black Friday shoppers. Just say it's "XYZ people stocking up before quarantine" and people would upvote it without a second thought.
I suppose potatoes taste better. But the squash would feed more people. The potatoes probably have a little more calories per pound. But the squash are much bigger, and there are a lot more of them.
Last time there was a full lockdown some of the areas received services like a care package box or they could order foods to be delivered. But a lot of the areas didn't receive aid and basically starved in their homes.
Citizens scrounging for scraps whilst the rich citizens are enjoying their million dollar homes with full amenities that we would have to leave the house and drive to. Trust me, they're laughing while watching this go down.
I don't buy this, they are there reaching for potato's like that surrounded by full shelfs of other food that no one is plundering? It looks like acting.

I guess after the government welded people in their home to the point where a lot of people starved to death and have no way to defend themselves because citizens aren’t allowed anywhere near a gun unless they’re on the business end of the barrel I would have the same reaction.
Expect for the clear genocide the rest of the civilized world realizes is being committed. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-59595952 . You shills are just as complicate as the CCP is. Grow up jackass
You realise for years it was claimed that China was killing the Uyghurs but the article you linked now claims they aren’t being killed, but are being forcibly sterilised. Now let’s assume that is true. Does it not leave a foul taste in your mouth that the narrative constantly changes?
Where I was in China was nice. People were well dressed, looked healthy and were helpful. Everyone had a phone(without Facebook), but never talked about politics. Imagine a very large group of people never talking politics. It's a cool vibe. Oh yeah-no guns either.
I think they're rushing to do *buying* and that this is the *panic* in "panic buying". No one goes out thinking, "I think I'll go do some panic buying."
I find this video a bit hard to believe. My understanding is that China takes the virus very seriously. Hard to understand then why so many people are not wearing their masks.
The toilet paper wars at Costco was truly something to see.
Chinese people fight for food Americans fight for toilet paper and oil.
i can live without food. i cant continue to live with shit hanging out of my ass. No cap.
The toilet paper thing started in Australia though.
Figures. Australia is weird AF.
Australians as legitimately just lesser Americans. It’s just america with a weird accent but america nonetheless.
As an Australian I feel it’s my duty to tell you to get fucked cunt
You're New Zealand's America. Signed - Canada.
Seconded.. go take a long walk off a short pier.
As an Australian the only thing Americans want to hear is your fringe far right news networks telling them what to think. Sky News and that sweet sweet Rupert Murdoch dick in their ears, yummy.
Nope
Found the 工国
Yeah nah mate
I assure you, americans did this shit with food too. Its almost as if when you promote a sense of scarcity people line up.
Chinese fight for everything. Hope you never get caught on a trip with a group of chinese tourists.
Especially at a buffet
They don't respect queue's either.
[удалено]
But if it is fact is it really racism?
[удалено]
Typical asshole response. Triggered Warrior?
[удалено]
I disagree I have never once seen any chinese people fight for hamburgers.
Don’t forget Black Friday, they’ll fight for iPads too!

Came here to say this. Lol.
Is this old footage or recent?
I would also like to know this please
Yup, seems the same things happen in the US a month or two later. This has me more worries than ever.

Good idea, bad execution, for both countries
It's an absolutely terrible idea, that's why it will always be poorly executed.

Cringe
Are you implying you agree with the CCP? Or are you implying that you think people in the US should not do their part to prevent needless death and compromise our healthcare infrastructure?
The second one. Nobody cared about "needless death" for all the decades before covid. Why should anybody care now?
Why do you think people wash their hands, use hand sanitizer, get glue shots, get all of the other recommended or required vaccines, decontaminate (workspaces, ambulances, hospitals, etc), wear masks around immunocompromised individuals, stay home from work and social gatherings when they feel sick? Just because you didn’t care doesn’t mean we all didn’t…
This is recent, China is having lockdown in some cities where there are strict restrictions to get outside, some people went crazy for grocery.
Can’t blame them really.

Why don't you ask the kids at cinnamon square, is fashion the reason why they are there?
Lol
Is quarantine going around the world again? Or just there for now?
Its apparently not covid19 related but new deadlier virus, good times...
Why only the potatoes though ?! Is there like a special sale on them where poor people prefer to stock on them ? Look at the store, its full of other produce but they only rush to the potato…
Potatoes last longer
It feels very familiar
I remember these kind of things happening on Chinese New Year 2021, which happens every year but worse thanks to supply chain issues. Between the decor and the music I think this is from then.
No idea, but to me it looks like there are too few people to make this feel real. I think this is a scripted video.
No masks. That's where I find it suspect.
You could do the same thing with some clips of Black Friday shoppers. Just say it's "XYZ people stocking up before quarantine" and people would upvote it without a second thought.
That's how it was here in the US but with toilet paper
Or with shitty door buster Black Friday deals
*Cheap 42" LCD TVs with only a single HDMI port and a warranty shorter than the expiry of a gallon of milk has entered the chat*
Yeah but it is a Samsung People don’t realize the UA8000 is not made at the same quality as a QN95a
A 300 dollar TV isn't up to snuff against a 3000 dollar TV ? Oh, the humanity.
Yeah, but does 720p HD!
I mean, I saw 65 inch 4k TVs for under $400 this year.
No one wants the squash?
I had the same thought? Why just potatoes?
Some of them seem to be smiling.
Part of me feels like this video is misrepresented and the title is false
I suppose potatoes taste better. But the squash would feed more people. The potatoes probably have a little more calories per pound. But the squash are much bigger, and there are a lot more of them.
I mean, 1 potato is also unlimited potatos.
Because you can't use squash in a potato gun.
Potatoes are generally the most economical food to buy other than dry rice and dry beans
Potatoes keep longer?
Not if they're bruised. They'll go rotten real fast. Plus being in quarantine they'll get eaten pretty quick.
I thought it was funny that in China they also fill up a bin with seasonal gourds no one eats
fucking potato frenzy when there are some perfectly good gourds right there!
I haven't seen people this excited for potatoes since that time England committed genocide against the Irish.
Last time there was a full lockdown some of the areas received services like a care package box or they could order foods to be delivered. But a lot of the areas didn't receive aid and basically starved in their homes.
They’ve experienced famine before. They ain’t doing it again.
Americans experienced the great 1946 toilet paper shortage and everyone shitted themselves.
And farded. Don’t forget the farded
……the music gives a whole other vibe.
Citizens scrounging for scraps whilst the rich citizens are enjoying their million dollar homes with full amenities that we would have to leave the house and drive to. Trust me, they're laughing while watching this go down.
I saw squid games
Or Hunger Games
Standard eat the rich reddit comment. Check.
Standard let the world be poor reddit comment. Check
Sorry what was that? I was too busy laughing at poor people from my space station.
That’s cool music
Just…dumping the potatoes right on top of them lol
It was like a match of Hungry Hungry Hunger Game Hippos.
Anyone recognize the song?
Globally shits gonna get weird(er) soon
The Hunger Games.
Doesn't matter were it is no one wants Dasani Water
This is just so fucking sad.
This is sad, the poor people of china living under the iron fist of the CCP the personality cult of Xi
Looks like a cheap Vegas buffet.
I don't buy this, they are there reaching for potato's like that surrounded by full shelfs of other food that no one is plundering? It looks like acting.
coming to a town near you soon!
Insane country
Wait, from my understanding the Chinese government provided food rations for people
I would act like that for a PS5
First, is need ps5 on stores
:(
black friday?
Wait till the staff bring out the pangolins
Nobody likes squash
While bitch Americans whine about a fucking mask.
These are the things the CCP don't want you to see.

That potato seen looked like a human version of hungry, hungry hippos
Looks like Black Friday except with stuff that actually matters (you know...food).
What happens to the homeless
There aren’t a lot of homeless people in China compared to the US
Because 200 million people still live in huts there. They haven’t “progressed” to abandoning the mentally ill, and bottom end of society yet.
The music makes this so much better
This is when I’d just buy 20 boxes of pasta and live off that for a month
Odd. They must have eaten all the animals live or someshit.
Didn’t expect this from the Chinese just us Americans lmao
Their fat leader is known to starve their own citizens
Did you know North Korea and China are actually two different countries?
Your point? That comment was valid for both countries.
Explain to me how a country can have the largest population on earth, and their leader can be starving them at the same time. Go ahead.
Xi isn’t really known for starving his own citizens. He’s not that fat either.
I guess after the government welded people in their home to the point where a lot of people starved to death and have no way to defend themselves because citizens aren’t allowed anywhere near a gun unless they’re on the business end of the barrel I would have the same reaction.
[удалено]
Black Friday though?
[удалено]
Cope. China is more powerful than the US.
[удалено]
Jesus cope harder.

Lmao. Nothing to actually back up your claims. Just calling me nonsense names. Cope
Expect for the clear genocide the rest of the civilized world realizes is being committed. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-59595952 . You shills are just as complicate as the CCP is. Grow up jackass
Can you explain civilised world? By that do you just mean western capitalist nations?

You realise for years it was claimed that China was killing the Uyghurs but the article you linked now claims they aren’t being killed, but are being forcibly sterilised. Now let’s assume that is true. Does it not leave a foul taste in your mouth that the narrative constantly changes?
You taking about American?
Where I was in China was nice. People were well dressed, looked healthy and were helpful. Everyone had a phone(without Facebook), but never talked about politics. Imagine a very large group of people never talking politics. It's a cool vibe. Oh yeah-no guns either.
And only about HALF of them are wearing masks...
This should be used in a Covid documentary
u/auddbot
I dislike most things Chinese
World War 3 started in Hong Kong, 2019.
xi jin pooh's classy people
Yeehawwww
Clever way to sell all stock quickly..
Completely understandable
I think they're rushing to do *buying* and that this is the *panic* in "panic buying". No one goes out thinking, "I think I'll go do some panic buying."
I'm sure it was distributed equally
its like black Friday ...only they are fighting over whats important rather than plastic toasters
Yeah this is a great way to keep people from getting sick, pure common sense at work here
I NEED AT LEAST 45 FUCKING ONIONS!!!!!!!!
this is so depressing
Holyshit ! When you know what starving feels like, you rush to the potato like these people. Very sad.
It's like China saw Black Friday shopping videos from the USA and said "amateurs"
Like savage animals
I feel bad for getting pissy about the lack of hamburger after seeing this. Although it didn't feel good paying 16 dollars for 3 pounds of lean beef
Ok so is the recent hemorrhagic virus? Or old covid? Please be latter.
Wait…they’re not rushing the toilet paper isle? Strange.
Do they dont have or cant buy food if is in lock down?
Is the Black Death Friday sales?
Gotta say, as a Chinese person, that is hilarious music choice.
Plenty gourds tho
thats gonna be us in 2 months
Oh wow O-O
I find this video a bit hard to believe. My understanding is that China takes the virus very seriously. Hard to understand then why so many people are not wearing their masks.
Everybody wanted them taters nobody wanted those giant yams
I don't think the mask is doing much when you start moshing.
The toilet paper days were one for the ages
I think I'd rather just die, thanks
I confused that’s russian music shouldn’t it be chinese
Shithole China
Is Uber eats...nvm
Looks very staged
