They are closing Beijing

The butchery section of the large Beijing market Tzi Fa Si is the new focus of the coronavirus. The reaction is energetic - immediate closure. Also the access to the capital is being secured. I have been several times in Beijing but never visited the market. On the other hand, the Party made a voltaface regarding street hawking. In my time there were tolerated night markets, but now it is free day and night.

For a time, they stopped building a centrally planned socialist society. I think China is reverting to the Ming times as described by van Gulik. BTW, ordered more Judge Dee mysteries.
