China is expanding lockdowns, including in a city where factory workers clashed this week with police, as its number of COVID-19 cases hit a daily record.
Businesses and residential communities from the manufacturing center of Guangzhou in the south to Beijing in the north have also been placed under various forms of lockdown, measures that particularly affects blue-collar migrant workers. In many cases, residents say the restrictions go beyond what the national government allows.
Beijing this week opened a hospital in an exhibition center and suspended access to Beijing International Studies University after a virus case was found there. The capital earlier closed shopping malls and office buildings and suspended access to some apartment compounds.The tightening came after the Communist party this month announced measures to try to reduce disruptions by shortening quarantines and making other changes.
