China's border towns are in a long-term blockade. What impact have they brought?

Recently, some media reported that by the end of April 2022, Ruili in Yunnan had been intermittently closed for more than 160 days, and Suifenhe in Heilongjiang had been closed for nearly 90 days. What impact has the long-term city closure brought to these cities? The author arranges as follows.

The first is to bring great inconvenience to people's daily life. Long-term urban closed management will seriously affect people's quality of life by keeping city people at home or limiting their activities in the community. I can't get together with my relatives and friends. The closure of the city has also caused many people to lose their sources of income, and there will be problems in mortgage, car loan and living expenses. There is no way to see a doctor in time, especially in some families with chronic diseases, and there will be problems in seeing a doctor and taking medicine. At the same time, it also affects children's normal study. After a long time, it will also make people feel too stressed and have depression.

Secondly, it has a serious impact on the local economy. The city was closed for more than 160 days, and many aspects of the city economy were suspended. All kinds of businesses in the streets and alleys can't operate normally. The loss is serious. Most factories and enterprises can't start work normally, the benefits of enterprises decline and the unemployment rate rises. The urban economy may be paralyzed. If it is restarted one day, it will face a series of problems such as unemployment and bankruptcy.

The third long-term closure of the city will also seriously affect the economic development of the surrounding areas. In the economic region associated with it, related enterprises will be forced to stop production due to problems in material supply or product sales, resulting in serious losses. The closure of a city may affect the economic development of the whole region.

Finally, long-term blockade will lead to urban diseases. For example, with the increase of crime rate, blockade means unemployment to some extent, and with the increase of people without income, social instability will also increase, which will lead to various social problems.
