First to scan this barcode then why does it get that automatically opens a health app. And when i take a look at the screen. One can do that given the app says no no abnormal conditions no no abnormal conditions so i get the green line where the doc gets if this were read id have to be quarantined for 14 days you have to enter your data to including the passport information and date of birth country of origin of what porn. And the app can find out where ive been and where. But neither the chinese authorities nor the manufacturer will tell us how it works its like a black box but. Lots of places have fever scanners out front. Even a slight increase in body temperature can set them off. No. There arent a lot of tourists here at the great wall of china even though lockdown restrictions have eased a Little People are cautious and well monitored at this station visitors use their smartphones to scan a barcode this is the 1st time in a long time that has left her hometown shes here with her mother and her son. You type in your name phone number and home address and then the app decides whether you can come in. This is just one of many new health apps now used in china. A quick check of their body temperature and theyre off to the summit. Like many in china this family has been living with lockdown restrictions. They havent left their home for months. Today theyre taking a day trip. This section of the great wall is about 70 kilometers north of beijing. Its normally crowded with tourists. But the family almost have the place all to themselves so they dont need to wear face masks and they can enjoy a bit of the great outdoors. So that. We spend more time at home now so i have to come up with new ways to keep my son busy we play together a lot so i dont. Joke i is 8 years old. He hasnt gone to school for several months so he studies at home. My mom has changed a lot shes always at home and shes really stressed out she gets upset 57800 times more than she used to. The pandemic has made everyone more cautious were on our way to interview a worker and even he asked us to use a health that. This is who you know shoot. After our apps show up green he satisfied that we dont pose a health risk. To the. Who tells us that for the 1st time in 20 years his working life is falling apart that i know. He used to hire himself out as a day laborer usually at construction sites. But he says those jobs are hard to find these days and then there was. The lockdown restrictions that made it more difficult you must specially the social distancing requirements. Actually but i think that weve come through the worst months of it now. Its not as if. She wasnt like that. Who takes us to the place where he and others wait for employers to come by and offer them work. But its an unofficial labor market. When we arrive a lot of the workers get up and leave. The men are looking for work in factories or on construction sites lot of people here say there are fewer jobs. And wages are lower than before the pandemic to me. Who you machine is cautious in his comments. He doesnt want to bad mouth the Chinese Government in front of foreign journalists even. There are still some problems but once they end the restrictions everything will go back to normal. But the pandemic has also created chinas worst economic crisis in decades. At private employment agencies like this one in beijing the jobs that are offered pay a lot less than they did just a few months ago. The equivalent of 20 euros a day they used to pay 30. Dollars another unofficial job market just a few 100 meters away day workers wait here for employers to come off the more. There are about 300000000 Migrant Workers in china they helped to fuel the countrys remarkable Economic Growth but now many of them are worried about how to make ends meet. There are a lot fewer jobs now i think used to be all kinds of work and ive been waiting here for days my savings will be gone soon. Yeah you know you by the way you know last year there were jobs that pay 200 you want today. Today the average is on the 100. 00. 100 u one works out to about 13 euros a day. Was we now leave the outlying districts of beijing and return to the heart of the city i 1st glance life here looks pretty much like it did before the pandemic i but heres something new checkpoints set up by the communist partys neighborhood committees. These officials decide who can enter the area i am devoured by there are checkpoints on just about every side street to take peoples temperature on one of a few months ago only people who lived here were allowed in but now you just share your health code data and thats it. Still the restrictions change constantly depending on the level of new infections more lock down restrictions could be imposed at any time and this makes it tough for people to move freely around the city high enough that somebody. There are long lines outside some restaurants. These people dont pay much attention to social distancing. Most of my life is back to normal now because i can go to a restaurant and. The thing that effects me a lot is i cant go back to work so i cant get my salary. Much has changed because of coronavirus many people have lost their jobs and have been forced to live on their savings. The fact sisters noodle restaurant has come up with Creative Ideas to deal with the situation for example the guests are separated by plexiglass panels at their table. Show what thats like for the toner duty and she has also distributed these advertisement around the neighborhood. To her business is doing well despite the effects of the pandemic i would go soon pat i think its a matter of mentality i try to think positively after all people always have to eat. These pitches from late january to late march guests were not allowed inside the restaurant so within 2 weeks dude had set up a take ounce Service Since most of her employees had to stay home at that time do took everything into her own hands a lot of the way that shes even taken extra measures to retain the trust of her customers men have a mother for a woman this take out receipt shows the body temperature of the cook and the employee who packed the meal wrote from her. We also list the temperature of the person who delivers it how my little. Cheering the lockdown the Takeout Service accounted for at least one 3rd of the restaurants turnover due didnt have to lay off any of the workers. Take out service is Still Available but now customers a returning to the restaurants in droves and turnover is way up due has found ways to work through this crisis i. I. I feel good about our situation we do a lot of takeout business if we pack up new orders all day long i think we have just enough people to do all the work but i may hire one or 2 more. Finals i tell you that. The government is helping out by paying the employees share of Social Security contributions for the workers for one year thats an important subsidy for this business. Meanwhile back at the. Great wall of china change walsh wang and her mother and son are enjoying their visit because of the lockdown restrictions there are no huge crowds like back home in beijing theres plenty of room to walk around and the risk of infection here is low. But chen and her mother are taking no risks when it comes to the health of dzhokhar. They still dont allow him to meet with his friends thats another complication created by the pandemic. Theyre about to have a meal at this restaurant. But the for their own loud in they have to provide their names and phone numbers and they have to have their temperature taken. In china people often share dishes of food but today the family have chosen to do that only among themselves and only here in this private room. Ill eat in a restaurant out here in the countryside but not in the city now that the risk of infection is low or we can take occasional day trips but most of the time we stay at home by. Grandma jang says people have a duty to protect themselves and others. Thought we have to be careful of void crowds and follow the guidelines if everyone does that china will prosper and things will get better and better well you know. Chen and her family believe that the governments policies will help to lead the country out of this crisis. She is a human rights or takes a critical view of the governments coronavirus policies. The. Under surveillance 24 hours a day we didnt know until the last minute whether wed be allowed to interview him. When launch numbers of people recently took to the internet to demand freedom of speech she signed a petition that called for improvements in civil rights he says the police have ordered him to keep quiet. They say that if i dont cooperate with my internet posts and stop speaking out it will have negative consequences for my family my children and me. There where you. Know she 1st heard about a new identified virus last december he became concerned after 8 doctors who were trying to alert the public to the new threat were arrested in early january and they were accused of spreading false reports about the virus. When things like that happen we usually believe exactly the opposite of what the government is saying. Theres a saying on the internet that what the state media defines as rumors or more likely predictions. Are foreign colleagues probably wont understand that unless they grew up in east germany. She fears that the pandemic will allow the government to increase its control over society hes concerned about the digital data that sent it into the system whenever he uses a house down. And he believes that that app based surveillance will continue long after the threat of virus infection has passed. We are. Going to walk. The horse. In the past chinese citizens had to provide their personal data when they bought a train or bus ticket or booked a hotel room. Which in truth they were also checked by facial recognition technology. Now i have to go through that process not just when i travel but also here at home. Number you for the government now has complete coverage of the population with facial recognition 1st of all data confirmation and passport registration transfer. Were on our way to beijing International Airport there are strict security controls here even though the facility is mostly empty. Overseas flights of foreign off sharply because of the pandemic. Were here to pick up a journalist for an interview weve agreed not to use his real name so well call him chung hi he spent the 1st 76 days of the lockdown in ruhani its been 4 months since he was in beijing. The return trip was complicated each time he boards a plane or other form of transport he has to register and provide a passport number the health then determines whether the data is correct. Or i try to buy plane ticket at the apps and that under current regulations i was not allowed to come by the failure to pay for your sure so i tried to buy a train ticket but that didnt work either. Uses Something Like its your then chelm got help from a communist Party Neighborhood committee which has a say in such matters. After 2. Days on may the 16th i was allowed to buy a plane ticket or so theyre all over the hall or they were parts of what we forgot. During his time in when han chunk wrote about individual people who had been affected by the pandemic. You know with all those worsley you were. In one article line talks about a doctor who treated coronavirus patients and then became infected herself to use that knowledge hallway i mean that all she was not treated quickly was not given a Hospital Band and later died at the age of about 30 or later a lot of readers criticised me for writing such a tragic story always out with. Nationalism is on the rise in china right now and negative reports about society a discouraged chungs article is no longer available on the internet. If you click on it you get an error message that says i violated the guidelines but it doesnt give specifics of how its possible that some readers posted negative comments or complaints of the old origins as in the bar was. Junk still has no idea what he did wrong. Yoghurt his war maybe i did break the law someone is here with us or the person you would certainly not clear to me which one would be in without without a way of helping us with and i dont know why the article was censored the way someone with office hours if. The authorities are also cracking down on other journalists and we dont. These pictures of lees a while were taken just before he disappeared critical reporting on the pandemic can have serious consequences used to work as a news anchor for Chinese State television so now she sat there are lots of patience back in france. But he quit his job moved on and started filing freelance investigative reports. He even applied for a job on the night shift at a funeral home so he could get an idea of how many people were actually dying and will haunt. You. Lee was doing a live webcast at his apartment when Plainclothes Police turned up and arrested him he wasnt seen again for 2 months. In april he appeared in a video and claimed that hed been in quarantine but many who have seen this clip i doubt that he was speaking freely and heres what he said there sure are you have an attorney named chen shoes she also filed independent reports for mohan his coverage was read by millions chen has not been seen since february 7th and his mother has turned to social media to try to find out what happened to him. Was a. Journalist a farmer being filmed crowded hospitals and mohan a few days after he did a video interview with german broadcaster a. R. D. He was placed under house arrest funkin has not been seen in public since february 9th. Feel. The government eased the lockdown measures in ruhani in early april before that life was difficult the city was sealed off and many residential streets were blocked for weeks people were not allowed to step outside shopping for essential zz was organized by the neighborhood committees. This is the 1st time in 4 months that journalist chong bey high has been in his apartment in beijing he tells us that his experiences with the pandemic in will hand affected him deeply. What your though says many people especially those in families are suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder you see others feel terribly guilty because they fear that they brought the virus into the family wants out some even feel responsible for the death of a Family Member to see it all for true this in the. Hospital was chungs accounts of doctors and nurses tell a grim story at the start of the outbreak hospitals were poorly equipped and understaffed the whole you were you going away to a hospital quick ones are described how he managed to save one patient but not another because he couldnt treat him quickly or through the years the situation was unprecedented finance with all you. Feel the effects of the pandemic will likely be felt for years. Back at the great wall grammar jank takes a photo of dzhokhar i assume any are of their lockdown day trip to this world famous structure. Later jane told us that shes pleased with the governments response to the pandemic. I think that other countries can learn something from the way weve handled this we chinese know how to take preventative measures and protect ourselves and everyone follows the governments rules and regulations dont you see any. Results at all. Many others agree they trust in the guidance of the communist party its the leadership who should make important decisions. Not the people. Thats how china works our leaders come up with ideas and the people should obey them and not complain too much its for the good of society if we all Work Together we can solve problems faster but if people have a lot of different opinions and things can get out of control yeah we have. So thats the difference between socialism and capitalism i think you should be more like china. Though there were foreigners always want Freedom Freedom can kill you. Theres freedom for you you get sick keep Walking Around in public and in fact everyone else. Maybe these people are just giving us the official government line in any case chinas leaders are trying to portray their country as politically and culturally superior and responsible world power. Chinese state t. V. Often shows pictures of medical aid shipments bound for various Foreign Countries its good publicity. This is who and an economics professor at ching Law University and a government advisor he says china is a world power that loves peace. China doesnt want to new cold war we want peaceful cooperation and development the benefits both sides. d but he says the u. S. Does not want to be upstaged by another wild power. Go to far and china is growing and washington simply cant deal with that. Thats why the u. S. Is always challenging us here. And the pandemic has actually increased chinas selfconfidence. Now were driving to the outskirts of beijing to a resort that was quite popular before the pandemic. A checkpoint has been set up on this access road only local residents are allowed to enter the area. You holmey on runs a small restaurant here it was allowed to reopen in april but the customers have to sit outside. The you make sure that there are plenty of disinfectants on hand to keep people safe. Customers have to go through the usual procedures. First they enter a bar code check the health that have their temperature taken and give their home phone number and address. Lou is happy to be back in business so far this year shes lost 50 percent of her turnover. Well now that the virus comes back itll ruin us Restaurant Owners are having a really tough time now. This temple reopened recently. But foreigners are not allowed to visit as a health precaution. Guests at this in have to show health data about their temperature taken and provide a passport photo. It took almost 10 minutes to download the right app and put all the data but now were good to go because. We Start Talking with the manager but then her husband intervenes. Oh he says foreign journalists cant be trusted so she shouldnt talk to us and the interview is over. But. We visit a small hotel nearby the owner has been waiting for 3 months for permission to reopen. But then a colleague warns him against talking to foreigners. Not. The local communist party leader has put out a phone message it says that anyone who talks to foreign reporters could face serious consequences. Since the outbreak of the pandemic fewer people want to talk to us they seem to be worried about saying the wrong thing and they dont want to get into trouble. We returned to be joining to visit chen and her family following their trip to the great wall. Were pleased theyve invited us into their home since many chinese believe that foreigners could help to spread the virus. These people are part of chinas prosperous middle class chen has been working from home for months. Her husband is a construction manager at a state owned company its a secure job but hes often on the road for weeks at a time when he returns he helps to home school his son. I cant meet with his friends yet but he now has a smart watch so he can stay in contact. The family is doing well but they still long for the preplanned demick days when wife was much simpler. And chen says that homeschooling her son is a real challenge so. When the kids were in school they had one teacher for each subject but now i have to cover all of them so youre still weve overcome these difficulties together. Weve weathered this storm and its been good for both of us kids. Meanwhile grandma jang continues to worry about her familys future. So sure how we cant let our guard down i dont have to stay vigilant had she be able to feel safe again only when the virus disappears from china and the rest of the world. Where you can put a foot of this family has been living in crisis mode for 5 months now like millions of others but here at home they have peace of mind and kind of scape the new normal conditions outside the restrictions the digital controls and fears of a new wave of infection.
