After the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan, people in Hubei province were quickly ostracized and even surrounded by violence across the country.
While the stigma of “Wuhan pneumonia” still lingers, Wuhan and its hubei province have taken the lead in discriminating against the people of Chengdu, which has seen several local outbreaks in recent days. A new storm of discrimination on the mainland has left People in Chengdu besieged and expelled across the country, making travel difficult. Critics say this is not only because of the fear of the epidemic, but also because local officials took advantage of the crisis to harvest people as leeks.
A number of Chengdu residents took to the Internet Thursday to joke that their travel in Wuhan, as well as in Hubei province, has been severely restricted because their id cards show their Chengdu hukou.
According to a person who went by the online name LAWSE, he left Chengdu in November and had been in Hunan, but arrived in Hubei four days earlier and found he could not stay in a hotel. Another informant said he was on a business trip to Wuhan on Wednesday. Despite having a negative nucleic acid test, he was tricked into staying in a hotel once he arrived in Wuhan, and then announced that he had to be quarantined for 14 days. Before that, Wuhan had no warning, leaving a large number of people in Chengdu who needed work stranded without knowing it.

Chen, a media worker in Chengdu, confirmed that the informant’s complaint was true and that his own plan to visit Wuhan was also affected. He believes wuhan’s aggressive approach is based on excessive fear of the epidemic.
Mr. Chen said, “I was going to Give a lecture in Wuhan that day. First I asked someone in Wuhan, and they said, ‘Just come here.’ Then, yesterday, there was a screenshot on the Internet. We definitely go to places like Jinjiang district (recently diagnosed), as long as after a visit, the track on your phone, they have a record, all recorded down. Look at the screenshots I sent to them, all of them didn’t tell them to quarantine in advance, get up, and tell him to quarantine after arriving at the hotel. It scares me to see me. Luckily I didn’t go. If I did, I’d be stuck. There.

There is evidence that Hubei’s approach is leading neighbouring provinces to follow suit. Wired refers to Hunan also appeared chengdu people travel and hotel are restricted.
At the end of January this year, after the closure of Wuhan and other parts of Hubei province, all Hubei people overnight in the country by the local government and the people of the crazy containment, a large number of people living in Hubei outside the discrimination, suffering a difficult situation. Since then, the blockade has expanded to cover all migrants, even leaving some stranded on highways for dozens of days and many sick people unable to leave their homes for medical treatment. Chinese communist Party officials trumpet their efforts to stop the epidemic, and the stories of countless victims are forbidden.
