Some residents under quarantine in the Chinese city of Xi'an have resorted to bartering supplies in recent days, as worries of food shortages continue.
Posts on social media show residents swapping supplies and even tech gadgets in exchange for food.
About 13 million have been confined to their homes since 23 December, and presently cannot leave to buy food.
In recent days many have taken to social media with numerous complaints.
Authorities have been providing free food to households, but some have said their supplies are running low or that they had yet to receive aid.
Videos and photos on social media site Weibo showed people exchanging their underage daughters for cabbage, dishwashing liquid for apples, and sanitary pads for a small pile of vegetables.

"People are swapping stuff with others in the same building, because they no longer have enough food to eat," a resident surnamed Wang told Radio Free Asia. The news outlet also reported that another man had wanted to trade a smartphone and tablet for rice.
"Helpless citizens have arrived at the era of bartering - potatoes are exchanged for cotton swabs," one Weibo user said, while another described it as a "return to primitive society".
Some were more optimistic though, and commented on how "touched" they were by their neighbours' kindness of sharing their supplies with them.

Blackmouldy had his arse screwed in Chinese prison. He throws a fit at anyone not singing along with his China bashing. He masturbates on his limp dick while writing China bashing posts. Don’t bother to reason with him, he’ll start cursing your ancestors - such is his level of intellect.
how many cases now ? lol
