US consulate in Shanghai allows employees to leave; Shanghai eases lockdown, 11M trapped at home



China In Focus

Fears rise, as the #USconsulate in Shanghai allows some employees to leave China. Shanghai announces a plan to ease its citywide shutdown. But an official notice asks people to stay inside for now. Will a U.S. push for #GreenEnergy really counter oil crises? That approach may not be quite so clear-cut, with China still firmly involved. Beijing makes a rare move: delivering missiles to a Russia ally. That nation is now primed to become the first country in Europe to operate #ChineseMissiles. Parts of Shanghai erupt into protests amid strict lockdown orders. Residents complain they don’t have enough to eat, with some saying they’re starving to death.
