The Chinese government, late on Monday, called on its citizens to stock up on food and necessary necessities in preparation for an unspecified emergency.
Chinas Ministry of Commerce urged citizens to stockpile a certain amount of basic products to meet daily needs and emergencies.
The ministry also called on various local authorities to facilitate agricultural production and flow of agricultural production and supply, monitor stocks of meat and vegetables, maintain price stability, and give early warnings about any supply problems.
The ministry’s directive has raised some concern on social media that it may be caused by escalating tensions with Taiwan, while others have suggested that it may be caused by a new outbreak of the Corona virus and unusually heavy rain, raising concerns about a lack of supplies.
Local media also published lists of recommended items to stock at home including biscuits, instant noodles, vitamins, radios and light bulbs.
The Economic Daily told citizens not to have “too much imagination” and that the purpose of the directive was to ensure that citizens would not be surprised if there was a lockdown in their area.
