This year’s China International Import Expo kicked off in Shanghai under the CCP’s prudent zero Covid policy, but a glitch in the mandatory Covid ‘green code’ app prevented attendees from leaving Shanghai. .
Since the implementation of Xi’s zero Covid policy, travel to, from and within Chinese cities is only possible with multiple simultaneous clearances State-Issued Mandatory Apps.
I needed a passenger to catch a train in Shanghai 3 so-called “green codes” from 3 separate appsGetting them required multiple tests, minimal contacts and a huge amount of uncertainty.
Simply testing negative is not enough. People’s codes arbitrarily change color if they travel from another district or state where cases have been detected or, in some cases, if the central government deems citizens of certain cities unfit for travel. can do. Traveling through China is like trying to navigate a digitized fortress.
Another level of complication introduced with the app was a glitch that could prevent passengers from showing the “green code” that allowed them to travel, which was experienced by attendees at the China International Import Expo. .
A group of journalists and attendees at the expo faced a technical problem known as a “pop-up” among the Chinese public. Long list of Covid requirements To receive a “green code”. If the data retrieval fails, a pop-up screen will appear in the app stating that the app owner needs to be verified. travel ban Due to insufficient evidence of Covid clearance.
Another pop-up screen, known as “pop-3,” also appeared in many of the participants’ apps. “Pop-3” is a screen similar to “Pop-up” with the title “We warmly inform you (3)” and prohibits movement by vehicle or crossing city boundaries. Until self-declaration to the local government.
Conversation threads surfaced on the Internet, showing that most of the domestic Chinese news outlets encountered app glitches when trying to leave Shanghai, leaving everyone stranded. 72 journalists While journalists from China People’s Daily encountered “pop-ups”, journalists from China Daily, Economic Daily, and China Women’s News Agency also reported encountering “pop-ups” or “pop 3”, affecting the entire team gave Hundreds of journalists were prevented from returning to Beijing.
According to the conversation thread, the glitch limiting mass movement was nothing new.Actually the same problem the whole team of staff especially sent from Beijing To help keep Covid in checkIronically we are currently still stuck in Shanghai due to the measures put in place to curb Covid.
