People protest in China..!? Opposition to 'Zero-Covid'..?
As opposition to China's strict 'zero-Covid' restrictions grows at home, support is also growing in other countries. Chinese people usually don't get involved in protests much. But, now they have started expressing their anger as protests. Last weekend, Chinese people took to the streets to protest against the country's strict zero-covid policy. Meanwhile, China's National health Commission reported 39,791 new Covid cases on november 26.On the other hand, public demonstrations are escalating in major cities including shanghai and beijing demanding an end to more than two years of lockdowns, strict restrictions, and daily Covid tests. Last week's devastating fire at a high-rise in China's Xinjiang region has served as a catalyst for growing public anger, according to reports. Ten people died in this incident. At the time of the fire, a lockdown was in effect in the area of the building, which hampered evacuation and rescue operations, many alleged.Chinese authorities are said to be unable to tolerate protests and public comment. Photos and videos widely shared on social media show people protesting and being roughed up. In particular, a white or blank paper has become a symbol of China's anti-Covid-19 restrictions. According to the report, this is a tactic used partly to avoid censorship or arrest. The white paper represents everything they want to say but can't say, one young protester said, according to Reuters. Crowds in shanghai chanted 'Let's bring down the Chinese Communist Party, let's bring down Xi Jinping'. In a rare protest against China's leadership, videos showing a group of people chanting, down with the Chinese Communist Party, down with Xi jinping have gone viral on social media. People's protests have been intensifying in shanghai, the country's financial hub, for nearly three days.
