The National Development and Reform Commission of the Communist Party of China recently announced a "expansion of domestic demand and promotion of consumption" plan, requiring localities to "launch a list of recommendations for national household emergency supplies in autumn and winter," causing speculation among netizens. Some people think that it might be a preparation for the closure of the city for the epidemic, while others worry that it is in response to war. There are also speculations that the Chinese economy will collapse.
On October 29, the National Development and Reform Commission of China announced on its official website the "Work Plan for the Near-term Expansion of Domestic Demand and Promoting Consumption" that was issued to local governments in mid-October. The 15th point mentioned "the launch of national emergency supplies for households in autumn and winter." Reserve a list of recommendations".
The plan requires local health committees, emergency management departments, and the National Development and Reform Commission to be responsible according to the division of responsibilities, and to formulate a national "Basic Family Emergency Supplies Reserve List" based on the experience of Beijing and other places in launching a provincial household emergency supplies reserve list.
The plan also encourages localities to speed up the development of an expanded list according to local conditions, and guide urban families to store medical supplies such as family first aid kits.
Up to now, including Beijing, Shandong Jinan, Zhejiang Ningbo, Guangdong Shenzhen, Hainan Haikou and other places have announced relevant material lists.
A preliminary comparison reveals that most of the local lists include dry food, first aid kits, flashlights, mineral water and other materials, as well as cash, credit cards and other properties, as well as important information such as ID cards and emergency contact forms.
The authorities ordered various localities to formulate a list of emergency supplies for households, which has recently sparked heated discussions among many netizens: Some people believe that this list may be a measure to lock down the city in response to the rebound of the epidemic in the autumn and winter seasons; there are also concerns that China's recent external relations are strained, and the official request the people preparing emergency supplies may be to prepare for war.
Some people also said that due to the constant natural and man-made disasters this year, coupled with the Sino-US trade war, China’s economy has fallen to a freezing point, “make some wind, scare the people, clear material inventory...” “The list is a bit vague, look at the details, no I know which small circle to profit again. Chinese people have a very high concentration. The Communist Party likes to use this trick to smoke leeks to deceive its own people."
However, some netizens have also argued that it is more likely that some officials want to collude with businessmen to profit in a certain field, so they have issued some lists to scare the people and cut leeks.
In mid-October, during Xi Jinping's southern tour, he went to Chaozhou, Guangdong, the city on the front line of Taiwan, and called out to the Marine Corps soldiers stationed there. After that, Shenzhen issued the "Shenzhen Family Emergency Supplies Reserve List" and asked the public to store emergency supplies. Whether the local people's association is related to the tension in the Taiwan Strait. Some netizens said, “It’s difficult to publish this news at this time without Lenovo!” Some people also said, will something happen in Fujian, and will there be war in Xiamen?
However, Mr. Lin, a scholar from Fujian, told Radio Free Asia that the purpose of the authorities was only to attract the attention of the public: "Once he wants to do something, he will not warn him; if he is warned, he will not be able to do it. Don't do it. If you don’t have any face, what should you do? Then pretend to be. Don’t want to fight, but show you want to fight. The CCP’s attitude has always been this way. It’s to let the people know that we are going to fight. Internationally, interest-free and loan-free ."
