China is renewing lockdown restrictions after new coronavirus clusters were found in Wuhan and Shulan, 2 cities hundreds of miles apart

Two new clusters of coronavirus cases in China have been reported hundreds of miles apart, sparking fears of another large-scale outbreak.

On Sunday, the country's National Health Commission reported 17 new coronavirus diagnoses, the highest number in almost two weeks, and the second day in a row new cases were in the double digits, Reuters reported.

Fourteen cases were in Shulan, a city of more than 700,000 near the Russian and North Korean borders. They were all traced to a 45-year-old woman working at a police laundry department with no history of recent travel or contact with an infected person.

The government has reclassified Shulan as a high-risk region, the only city in China with that classification. Authorities have closed public spaces, with residents told to stay home unless there were "unusual circumstances."

The second wave has started in S. Korea, Germany and now China. And it could easily happen here.

We have no reason to believe this. It'w china. It could be they see other countries starting to open again and they don't want that to happen. this could be and probably is lies put out to scare people in other countries. We can't let chinese propaganda guide us or base our decisions on anything coming out of china.

They want a second release of the virus this is bio terrorism

7:18 they wouldn't release it purposely in China. Not because they care about their people but they know the reason they have become the powerhouse they have is only because of the people who get slave wages working in all the factories. They can't afford to lose any workers and is one of the reasons they tried to hide the virus escape so they would have time to vacuum up supplies for their own use AND so it would spread so they wouldn't be the only ones with economic problems. They wanted to level the field in other words by having other countries suffer economically.

8:04 China is over populated and have no issues experimenting on certain segments of the population like the elderly that can’t work and minority groups.... the same groups who seem to be most at risk

8:04 - I agree. China’s economy is in bad shape and loosing workers is only part of their problem. Business pulling out is the other big part of this for them. They absolutely knew what they were doing when this virus got loose from their lab. Between the communist spin doctors blaming the United States, along with not being truthful at all has dug them a very deep hole. The virus situation has certainly made the rest of the world notice how manipulative China is.

6:43 Yes China is over populated BUT they need it to be. As a matter of fact Chinese demographers have been warning that in the near future China will face a crisis of under population. Birthrates have been at their lowest since the founding of the republic and the aging population is increasing which has created a worker shortage going back years now. The shortage started to impact them severely about this time last year. This is verifiable. That is the only reason they let in migrants-cheap labor.

7:06 China has been facing labor shortages for years now. That was more a concern of theirs then tariffs.
