Talk:COVID-19 lockdown in China

Delete 2020 Hubei lockdowns?
The subject matter is covered more completely in . It also looks like the data table in this topic is no longer being updated. Would it make sense to just move any unique content into the Mainland China topic and set up a redirect?

Everything under 'Reactions and measures outside Mainland China' could be merged into the timeline topics, main global outbreak topic, or moved to 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak travel restrictions or containment effort or something to that effect. - Wikmoz (talk) 06:02, 24 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Um that article already has a "This article may be too long to read" tag, maybe the split should go the other way. The Language Learner (talk) 11:13, 25 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your feedback. Definitely worth considering but I generally disagree with the "too long to read" label for that topic. If it is too long though, I don't think splitting the core of that topic into another is the solution. I think that only makes the reader burden worse. - Wikmoz (talk) 19:03, 25 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, merge and shorten. Also NOTNEWS springs to mind. Zezen (talk) 08:52, 26 February 2020 (UTC)


 * seems reasonable User:Ozzie10aaaa (moved from main outbreak dicussion)

Merger?

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a

Merge Proposal and / or Redirect. Please do not modify it. The result of the request for the Proposed Merger of {requested article} into this talk page's article was: Not Done—Consensus Reached–Do NOT Merge. —    —     —     —     —


 * I started the merge but missed a few key steps in the merge proposal process. Will go back and follow the steps. - Wikmoz (talk) 00:19, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You merger is controversial. If you still like to merge 2020 Hubei lockdowns into Mainland China during the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak, please go through the process of Proposed article mergers to attract more editors to participate in this discussion. Thanks. --Neo-Jay (talk) 00:23, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the guidance! I've added the merger proposal template to both topics and will await additional editor feedback. - Wikmoz (talk) 00:30, 27 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose merger. 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak in Mainland China is too long and needs to be split. And 2020 Hubei lockdowns is notable per se, and is long enough to be an independent article. --Neo-Jay (talk) 23:15, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * There isn't much original information on this page that would need to be merged in as it's all duplicate content at this point. The travel restriction portion could be split out to a separate topic. Certainly open to moving the content in the opposite direction but the Hubei lockdown is so central to the China outbreak story that it still doesn't feel right to split it out. - Wikmoz (talk) 02:56, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose merger. I feel like having added information crammed all on one page looks messy. This page is long to be separate article. I would probably even suggest an infobox which includes articles "Part of the 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak" if it hasn't been created. KeyKing666 (talk) 01:21, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename article and broaden. The are now Chinese lockdowns outside of Hubei, not to mention coronavirus lockdowns in other cities throughout the world (such as in Bethlehem). Propose 2020 Coronavirus lockdowns as a new title, perhaps also with the word "timeline" added. The current article has entirely too much bloat and minutia-diving (e.g., extended dissertations of the importance of Hubei to China, when simple blue-linking existing articles are all that's needed). An updated tally of quarantined cities is of far greater utility on the English language wiki.--2601:444:380:8C00:714D:E5A8:5A07:75B4 (talk) 13:03, 6 March 2020 (UTC) 
 * FYI, 2020 Northern Italy coronavirus lockdowns was created at 12:00, 8 March 2020‎. Probably 2020 Hubei lockdowns can be kept separate. --Neo-Jay (talk) 15:47, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Still under lockdown?
Article says "20 February 2020, the Chinese government has issued extension of order to shut down all non-essential companies, including manufacturing plants, and all schools in Hubei Province until at least 24:00 10 March."

Currently 12 March in China, are the lockdowns still in effect? 129.94.8.124 (talk) 02:03, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Incorrect and misleading map of China related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in mainland China


This map of China above, incorrectly shows the Indian state Arunachal Pradesh as part of Tibet Autonomous Region in China, which is claimed by China but administered by India. Kindly fix this map. Thanks! — Hemant DabralTalk  17:32, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Agree Arunachal Pradesh should not be shown.--Pestilence Unchained (talk) 09:25, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, it really shouldn't be shown though as by legality it isn't China's land at the end of the day. Rawsar (talk) 19:20, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Arunachal Pradesh : This is however an disputed piece of land that China believes they own, so it must depend on where the person came from, the person who had created the map. Rawsar (talk) 19:16, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

2021 Wuhan lockdown
Just to give you all an FYI that Wuhan went into a lockdown again amid another surge in Covid cases. Can you all update on that and cite the original news source. Williamwang363 (talk) 15:58, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Moving request
I request moving this page to COVID-19 lockdown in mainland China as this is more appropriate (we are seeing lockdowns in Hong Kong (near lockdown for 55000+ cases per day), Taiwan (lockdown in May 2021) and this page only covers lockdowns for mainland China. Thingofme (talk) 14:55, 3 March 2022 (UTC)


 * For instance this should be 2020 lockdown now (have no info about 2022 lockdowns) Thingofme (talk) 00:49, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
