Chains on Kitchen Knives, NOW Regulating Sharpeners & Clippers! How Scared IS the CCP?

For instance, Xinjiang had implemented strict knife controls many years ago, a policy subsequently adopted by many other provinces in China. This July, a netizen shared a video of their experience in Xinjiang where they visited five or six hardware stores just to buy a melon-cutting knife. They finally purchased one with a QR code at a knife specialty store. Photos shared showed signs stating "No returns or exchanges for knives," "Knives can only be viewed via pictures, not in person," and "Purchasing more than three knives requires justification at the police station."
In places like Jiangxi and Xi'an during the Eurasian Economic Conference, there were knife restrictions. In Qinghai, even nail clippers are considered restricted. A netizen "Little Mouse" commented about an incident at Beijing You'an Hospital where an elderly person's bag was searched, and they were asked to remove a nail clipper. Another remarked, "This is a sign of Hong Kong becoming like the mainland, and the mainland becoming like Xinjiang."
