Residents in the four richest cities in southern China’s Guangdong Province were caught off guard when authorities suddenly began imposing lockdown measures over the past few days. Locals told The Epoch Times that many people are concerned because they didn’t have enough time to stock up on food and other necessities, and others don’t trust the Chinese regime’s data on the number of local infection cases.

Authorities in Guangdong Province announced on June 21 that one infection was reported and 230 people were being treated for COVID-19 at local hospitals, according to state-run media Xinhua.
