Chinese Government directs people to stockpile supplies of essential items

Editorial comment

It would not be surprising if there is a rush to pile up essential items in India too in the upcoming adverse time.

Beijing (China) – A few days ago, the Chinese Government sent directives to its people to stockpile essential supplies giving reasons for a possible coronavirus outbreak. Since then, people are lining up in supermarkets in the majority of Chinese cities. People are hoarding supplies more than their needs. It has led to shortages and price hikes.

At many places in the markets, there are incidents such as pushing each other, beating up each other. There is doubt that China is planning war against Taiwan which could be the reason behind this directive.

China is encouraging people to stockpile food which has resulted in mass panic buying. Many items are sold out and people are fighting over bags of food. It’s unclear the real reason the Chinese government is encouraging this behavior. pic.twitter.com/gzdiBfzFYc
