The Los Angeles Chinese Consulate issued the “Declare as you are, Test as you are” rule on Dec. 30. Pictured are passengers waiting in line for Covid-19 field testing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Dec. 31, 2020.
The Los Angeles Chinese Consulate issued the “truthful declaration, truthful testing” rule on December 30, which requires passengers departing from Los Angeles with many more restrictions in addition to proof of dual testing, effective December 31, 2020. All passengers traveling from Los Angeles to the mainland will be required to fill out and sign the “Declaration of health Status of Passengers to China” at the sampling site.
Li Maojun, a former Chinese journalist, said that from the initial reduction of flights and skyrocketing airfares, to the subsequent double-negative tests, to the recent designation of testing sites, the Chinese Communist government has set up barriers and obstacles at every level of entry, and public opinion has led to the “poisoning of thousands of miles”, just short of directly announcing that Chinese citizens will not be allowed to enter China.
Li Maojun said, “It seems to be for the safety of China’s billions of people, but when you think about it, they care more about their own black hat. The Chinese government doesn’t care about its own people, and it certainly doesn’t consider the impact and inconvenience of changing its policies overnight on Chinese citizens abroad, as these regulations only add to the risk of infection and unnecessary financial expenses.
Ms. Dong, who returned to Southern California from Harbin in October, said that the strict rules only add to the problems of ordinary people. As far as she knows, the Chinese Communist Party’s powerful people are not subject to these rules, and they can still go back to China without any obstacles.
Wang Han, a Chinese student at USC, said that the Chinese Communist Party has always advocated “individual service for the group” and collectivism, and at first glance, this rule seems to be conducive to controlling the epidemic in China. He said, “In fact, it’s like dealing with the epidemic. In fact, just like in the case of the Uighur concentration camps, the Chinese Communist Party uses the name ‘anti-terrorism’ or ‘epidemic prevention’ to achieve its own goals,” he said. To achieve its goal, the CCP can abandon all moral bottom line, and this is the most terrible thing.
Another student, Du, said that most of the students he knows around him who need to return to China are unhappy with the policy, but basically they dare not speak out in anger. Because under the control of the Chinese Communist Party, the people cannot check and balance this absolute power, nor can they raise their voice against it. But in some groups of international students there are still little pinkos who come out specifically to speak for the CCP.
Du believes that looking back at the beginning of the outbreak of the CCP viruses (Wuhan pneumonia and New Crown pneumonia), the governments of the US, Japan and Taiwan sent special planes to evacuate overseas Chinese, as well as comparing with the latest travel ban in Japan a few days ago, Chinese citizens have to spend a lot of time and money to return to their own country, and at the same time, they may be condemned by the domestic social media and official media opinion.
Ironically, it is easier for foreign citizens to travel to China than Chinese citizens during the same time period, proving once again the low level of civil rights in China. The Chinese Communist government is resorting to draconian regulations and moral abduction to further restrict the most basic human rights to which citizens are entitled,” he said.
However, most Chinese people said that because the global epidemic is now tense, the virus has appeared in a variant, and epidemics have been reported in various cities on the mainland, it is impossible to return to China unless they have no choice.
