Unrest is growing in China over the country’s strict COVID-19 measures. Fresh protests have broken out in major cities, with hundreds rallying at Beijing’s elite Tsing-hua University, chanting ‘we want freedom.’ Many also held up blank sheets of paper in a symbolic protest against state censorship. More demonstrations have also been reported in Shanghai, following clashes with police overnight. Public anger has flared after a deadly apartment block fire, with many blaming an ongoing lockdown for hampering rescue efforts. Chinese officials have defended their zero-covid policiy, despite the growing public backlash, in the video published on Nov. 27, 2022, by DW News, as “Protesters in China demand Xi Jinping step down | DW News“, below:
Anti-lockdown protests in Chengdu is getting out of control. Similar pictures arrive from Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou and even Beijing. In some locations in Wuhan, where parts of the city are supposed to be under lockdown, people removed barricades and are walking out. They are all tired of strict lockdown measures after three years, needing food, work, and fresh air. Anti-government anti-Covid demonstrations broke out in at least ten Chinese cities in the past few days. In Wuhan, where the epidemic broke out, citizens are protesting nonstop. They are taking down barricades and testing booths. In the evenings, they are chanting, “Liberate, liberate…” and some would call out, “Give me liberty or give me death.”

Thousands of protestors took to the streets of Shanghai, where people were heard openly shouting slogans such as “Xi Jinping, step down” and “Communist party, step down”. In China, any direct criticism of the government and the president can result in harsh penalties, and some people at the demonstration were seen being bundled into police cars. The Shanghai protest follows unrest in the remote north-west city of Urumqi, where lockdown rules were blamed after 10 people died in a tower block fire. China’s zero-Covid policy has led to further demonstrations across the country, triggering violent protests in Zhengzhou and Guangzhou, while students have also demonstrated at universities in Beijing and Nanjing, in the video published on Nov. 27, 2022, by BBC News, as “Protestors urge China’s President Xi to resign over Covid restrictions – BBC News“, below:
