BEIJING - Beijing has virtually walled itself off to outsiders with drastic measures to protect China's seat of power against the threat of a second wave of coronavirus infections from other regions.
"Strengthening management of people returning to Beijing has become the most critical priority, otherwise it is impossible to create the right conditions for the two sessions to start," said Ma Liang, a professor at Renmin University's School of Public Administration and Policy. "When they see where I'm from, the conversation stops. I can't even get an interview. I've been out of work since February," she said.
Other cities only require those from Wuhan and Hubei province to produce a green health code on a special app and a negative nucleic acid test result. "I originally bought tickets for the 12th, but I was told on the evening of the 7th that I needed a negative test result in order to return," said Wuhan resident Liu Shiyi, who arrived in Beijing by train on Sunday.
