“The controversy took off this week after a user of Weibo, a popular Chinese microblog service, accused Mr. Gärtner of insulting Chinese people after a standoff over the parking spot in Shunyi, a district in northeast Beijing where many middle-class foreigners and Chinese live in townhouse communities that rub shoulders with poorer residents who used to be farmers.”

“Beijing sealed off 10 areas of its northeastern Shunyi district on Tuesday, the first lockdown in the Chinese capital since the last coronavirus outbreak in the months of June and July. The city has reported 16 infections and three asymptomatic cases since Dec. 18, when the first cases were found. Most of the cases were in Shunyi, which has banned couriers from entering residential compounds.”

“China's capital city Beijing has entered "emergency" mode after seven cases of coronavirus were found. Some villages in Shunyi District have been completely sealed off. While the number of infections appears small, before last week the city of over 21 million had not logged a local case of COVID-19 in 152 days.”
