The Wuhan, China, lockdown that served as a model for countries battling the coronavirus has ended after 11 weeks.

Travelers with their luggage walk past the Hankou railway station on the eve of its resuming outbound traffic in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. Starting Wednesday, residents of Wuhan will be allowed to once again travel in and out of the sprawling city where the coronavirus pandemic began, ending an 11-week lockdown.

The occasion was marked with a light show on either side of the broad Yangtze river, with skyscrapers and bridges radiating animated images of health workers aiding patients, along with one displaying the words “heroic city,” a title bestowed on Wuhan by president and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping. Along the embankments and bridges, citizens waved flags, chanted “Wuhan, let’s go!” and sang a capella renditions of China’s national anthem.

While there are questions about the veracity of China’s count, the unprecedented lockdown of Wuhan and its surrounding province of Hubei have been successful enough that countries around the world adopted similar measures. Residents of other parts of Hubei were allowed to leave the province starting about three weeks ago, as long as they could provide a clean bill of health.

“This day that people have long been looking forward to and it is right to be excited. However, this day does not mark the final victory,” the paper said. “At this moment, we still need to remind ourselves that as Wuhan is unblocked, we can be pleased, but we must not relax.” Wuhan is a major center for heavy industry, particularly autos, and while many major plants have restarted production, the small and medium-sized businesses that provide the most employment are still hurting from both a lack of workers and demand. Measures are being instituted to get them back on their feet, including 20 billion yuan in preferential loans, according to the city government.

AP out here trying to improve that chicom social credit score!

china is also right about islam

You are more loyal to the Chinese government than our own. Shame on you for your treasonous behavior. China is our enemy. They seek to be the most influential country in the world and have communism prevail as the dominant system. Why are you ignoring this threat?

Hello Twitter I would like to report this fake news channel please. It seems to be ran from either China, Russia, Turkmenistan, Brazil or North-Korea.

LoL...you guys kill me.

Uh. No thanks. I’d rather not be ruled like communist!

'as a model for countries' ...WTF is wrong with you people?!?!?!

Calling it the Wuhan, China lockdown is racist . Do better. See how easy that is.

It was more of a weld-down. Also, probably 40,000+ people died there, you shills. Didn’t they kick you out? It speaks worse of you if you’re carryong water for them AFTER they shat on you

Communism Sucks---God only knows how many actually died---how many dissidents were rounded up? The AP has ZERO credibility---pure propaganda right here---knowingly false misreporting FakeNews

China finally won the biggest match in the world 👍

you guys are dolts; you can't discern between good and bad organizations. Geez

Didn't they weld ppl into their apartments?

The model they were forced to enact after they infected the world

Enjoy, CCP propaganda bitchez 👇

AP approves of China welding people in high rises, mass creamation, reporters who disappear and communist regimes who lie about death numbers. AP has a stupid audience. Don't be a AP audience.

You think we should seal people in their homes with no food? Or cremate victims before they're dead? Are you human?

You can’t trust anything from the CCP

I thought the country models for this battle are South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan?

The MSM is the real culprit in this crisis, at least as culpable as China, maybe more. MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople ChinaLiedPeopleDied

Parody news.

Way too premature if it’s even true.

The key piece: ...”as long as a mandatory smartphone application powered by a mix of data-tracking and government surveillance shows they are healthy and have not been in recent contact with anyone confirmed to have the virus.”

And you believe their numbers?

Your headlines really suck after you read the article.

WeRe JoUrnAliSm

Is welding citizens in apartment buildings, a model other countries are using?

So using the 'burning people alive' model in crematoriums is a way to just kill off its citizens. Can we use it on the media too.

mass murder is a model... fu ap

Horrible. The WHO, which is controlled by China, enabled China to prevent the sharing of information about this virus to outside countries. WHO enabled China's murder of hundreds of thousands. WHO has to be punished/separated from China.

Dragging ppl suspected of having the virus into vans is a model. Got it.

Until that second wave flares up

The model is, 'Lie about the extent of your pandemic.' 🤷‍♂️

Shorter version: China good, where's my check?

Down with the CCP

Cue the meme....

The AP is Chinese propaganda.

This is Treason. Stop amplifying CCP propaganda.

Fake news

So, now the is joining in on spreading ChinesePropaganda ? ChinaLiedPeopleDied

But in January China was telling WHO the virus wasn’t contagious!

Check the date on this post 🤣

AP is STILL buying China's numbers of 3300 deaths nationwide? I really thought AP was better than this.

You are colluding with commies.

No one knows how many have died. No one cares as China gets a pass.

Thats good news then,now they can get on with eating cats & dogs whilst high on tigers penis,huh.........

' a model' based on locking people in their buildings and homes by force?

Burning ALIVE Coronavirus victims is a “MODEL”? Are you Insane

paidbychina

CamillaR_TV We now need this to happen to the 🇺🇸!

Yes because they didn't treat their people they killed them sometimes burning them alive

You mean locked them in their homes. Then also burnt people alive with virus. AP and MSM is a joke!

Ummm......no.

Could you detail the lockdown in China? The welding of house doors, the cremation of live people? This is not a model to proud of.

more Chinese propaganda how much cash are they paying you

You cannot be serious

RIP, Ass Press

Model as in dragging people from cars and homes. Welding doors closed on apartments, shooting people, etc. Chinese propaganda from our own AP. Sad.

Does that include arresting people who tried to report it in the beginning? I wonder how much Chinese have invested in this news outlet.

Yeah I'm not buying that they all of a sudden stopped having new cases.

I don't think we should be happy about that after the Chinese virus disease (COVID-19) outbreaks around the world

They welded peoples doors shut and hails it as a success

Hey AP- They’re incinerating bodies two at a time, 24/7. But you do you. The CCP thanks you for the support.

I call bullshit

Yea ok ap lol how dare you take up for China for what they have done to the world!

AP should be added to terror watch list.

this didn't end well. By model you want people burned alive? -

Didn't that model including physically throwing people into unmarked vans and taking them who knows where?

ChinaDidThis ChineseVirus ChinaLiedPeopleDied WuhanCoronavirus

Is just Chinese propaganda? Yes.

We knew already that AP was on the CCP payroll but this one gets them a raise for sure. Disgusting.

I think all reporters should fly to Wuhan, to prove this. What do you say, , MSNBC, CNN, FoxNews, ABC. America is with you. Good Luck.😁

Homes were welding shut and people dragged out out of their homes to be executed. That's a model?

NBC... now AP... ABC for years... all now part of the ccp

Model? You are talking like the WHO!

Also, this is a bullshit report and you are part of the Chinese disinformation campaign.

They locked people in their homes! If that's a model, I want no part of it.

Yea right!

It's a shame that here in America the government didn't literally bar people inside their homes and apartments and 'disappear' people with fevers.

Also showed how to start a pandemic !!!!!!!!

A “lockdown” by a Communist country may be very different than a “lockdown” in the US where we can’t go to the beach for a few weeks. ReportBetter

Fantasy and fake news of China Dictatorship

model of what? absolute totalitarianism. and you are applauding that approach

They welded shut apartment building entrances! Are you out of your mind UsefulIdiots

Model They welded people in their homes? They lied about the numbers? HTF do you report like this ?

😂😂😂 ok communist Chinese propaganda outlet Straight advocating for and condoning sealing people up in their homes and then burning said homes down. Yes! A true model for the world to emulate. EnemyOfThePeople

CHINA, is serving a model? CHINA?

Hope Xi sees this bro.

So we have this straight...the Associated Press is advocating welding people inside their own homes or alternatively dragging people out of their homes kicking and screaming in order to make them disappear or worse, burning them alive? You are a bunch of animals.

No it hasn’t.

China literally “locked them down”.

More fake new. AP is the new front for Communist China propaganda in America.

Wow. The CCP owns the media.

Why....yes.... because accusations of burning the elderly alive is model behavior!

They bolted families in their houses to die, so I guess that is a lock down of sorts. Are you nuts!

your yuan is on the dresser

As we are told. We will see in weeks and months to cone

a 'model'

“Served as a model” They fucking welded the doors of apartment buildings so people couldn’t escape

🤮

This virus has made it abundantly clear that our media is garbage.

Why do you carry China’s water, do you not realize it gives very American a reason not to listen to you

CHINA been playing Chess with the entire world. All they care about if financial gain from this pandemic. LIARS!

Says China? Mmmkkkkk....

Model? What kind of model starved unattended children, disabled to death?

patrickhopkins China’s response was also a model of suppression of basic human rights by forced quarantine and suppression of freedom of speech by not reporting real disease stats or ease of spread of the virus.

That means, w/the lack of concern over the severity of this virus-and that ANYBODY can get it, the US will surface sometime in 2021. Maybe. Grocery stores are packed, parks are full of people, etc. High risk behavior has high risk consequences. And that= personal responsibility.

all the people here gnashing their teeth about this and claiming it's a lie while the u.s. empire begins its collapse around them because

Not really a model: CCP -welded people in their homes -lied to residents about risks -disappeared journalists -disappeared citizens -arrested truth tellers -reopened wet markets -released false data to the world -sent faulty equipment to the world. Other than that though...

And we should believe them now because ....?

Yeah right....

It has not really ended. There are 190 high school students just got infected with the virus The Wuhan hospital is still packed with COVID19 patients DO NOT TRUST THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. You will get arrested if you say anything bad about the government I am Chinese,so ik

Maybe, just maybe, you should read the comments below. Almost unanimous. delusional

So...just stop reporting illnesses and deaths from coronavirus?

Why? The virus is spreading all over Wuhan. DontTrustChina

“Model”?!? Nice headline,

The fact that the Chinese government locked down a whole city on January 23 when Trump was still downplaying the danger is notable.

KGWNews BS! I have colleagues that work for a huge German company in China that corfirm this. It’s being hidden.

Wow dang

Yeah sure..

Good news, but people need to be careful—the virus is still very dangerous.

Hmm

How many people did they kill?

Crackas butthurt

Propaganda

WOW--this really is Chinese propaganda shame on you, losers

The Chinese people all wore masks, stayed at home and pursued strict social distancing. Public places were sterilized, infra-red scanners detected temperatures, testing and contact tracing was aggressive. The fact is China did better than the west in responding. Get over it.

I hope realDonaldTrump learn from Xi Jinping.

Ma'am only Wuhan was locked down for 11weeks other cities were opened after 4-6 weeks

I hope they go back to those massive apartments and break the weld on those doors.

Yes a model of lying about how many cases they truly have

Model my ass. Ask Wuhan citizens y they shouted angrily 'fake, all fake' to a CCP leader visiting the residential area. If u apply Wuhan model to democracy countries, ppl would rebel.

Just in time for The Wuhan Flu, Round Two.

Fake news is the best when it comes from the CCP😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ah yes the 'lockdown' that saw the virus spread across the world. How many deaths is the WUHAN CORONAVIRUS responsible for?

The model?

CCP praises you!

Break out the bat! It’s a mf party🦇🦇🦇

So pics or it didn’t happen. Oh wait...

Get ready for two new ChineseVirus

Well now the rest of China will catch the virus as those residents move about the country.

ap is owned by communist China! Sad!

Like welding people in their dwellings?

We need sunlight

China literally started this shit. Stop trying to prop them up.

Lol. No.

China posts drop in coronavirus cases, Wuhan lockdown due to endMainland China reported on Tuesday a drop in new coronavirus cases after closing its borders to virtually all foreigners to curb imported infections, while the central city of Wuhan, epicentre of the outbreak, saw no new deaths for the first time. I don't know how come anything related to China is labeled 'fake'. Is that why people don't learn the lessons from China too? 4 months in lock down to achieve. Over a quarter of a year. And that was with very aggressive and sometimes inhumane measures in place.
