Melbourne and other States, Canada, Netherlands, parts of the USA, many countries in Europe, now China…it’s all the same. People against tyranny!! Covid was simply “the excuse”!

Funny how you ignored the protests here in australia

Reminds me of Australian police during lockdown

Stop showing videos from Victoria and saying its China!!! Fake News

Tell the truth on what’s really happening and why it’s happening

Future “changing of the guard”.

Isn’t it ironic that the same people supporting Chinese protests thought the people who protested lockdowns in Victoria were the worst of the worst. History will not sit well with many people.

Sad- looks like our Western Anti-Science Covid Deniers have infected the minds of these otherwise sensible people...

This poor developing nation

They have 1.4 b people, u expected they r all happy?

Send in VictoriaPolice they'll know what to do

Was it anti-government and harsh when Australian government was doing this?

Extremist! They are just nazis how dare they want freedom! Don’t they understand that covid will kill them all if they don’t continue to have lockdowns! Trust their leader 😂 msm is so funny how the narrative changes… Hypocrites

Racist, nazi extremists right ? That's what you called us.

So many neo nazi bigots with unacceptable views! Victorians must be cheering on the CCP to quell this dissent based on the results of our latest election They need Dan to go over and sort them out

You had a completely different opinion when Australians were protesting the same thing

Hasta la vista communista ✋

Someone call premier Dan and his rubber bullet swat team

Australian media is clueless. Where are the leftists with their labels of “anti-vaxxers” “anti-lockdown” “far-right” “conspiracy theorists” ?

Anti govt? its anti lockdown, are they baby nazis and extremists?

Wishing all the protesters the best ❤️

Must be all those far right Nazis in China causing all of this!

Looks like Melbourne last year.

They must be anti-vaxxers and anti-mandate. Cookers!!

Finally starting to cover some of this nonsense

Bunch of science denying cookers

Red mist someone said ?

I don’t think this is a matter in China and Chinese should have the rights of protest 🪧

I wonder if they’ll bring in Victorian police to shoot them in the back . The lefties will love it .

A warning to New Zealand and Canada, the people can only take so much before they hunt you down and end you.

Can you report on those burnt to death in the Apartment where the doors were welded shut?

RT

9NewsMelb Yeah and when he's reelected the government will say... see people agreed with the lock downs it didn't bother them that much and we're not even going to respond too pathetic conspiracy theories about corruption! Lol

Well done China

Let's see the media treat these people like they treated anti lockdown and forced medical procedure protestors in Melbourne. Are the Chinese also 'selfish conspiracy theorists'?

BuggaThe And still nothing from MSM on Brazil?

Looks unorganised. They should bring in Vic police to shoot them and show them what a true authoritarian regime can do.

Yet in Australia media were snarling down at anti-lockdown protestors. Peak hypocrisy

troublemakers who want covid to spread and kill people

Time to get up and battle against the 'emperor'. If you are on your knees for too long, you will not be able to stand up anymore. It is still not too late. LFG Chinese citizens!

Looks like Melbourne.... they must all be far right groups 🤡

Good anti China all the way

Yet when the good people of Australia protested they were persecuted. This is highly reminiscent of Victoria. Australia’s lockdowns were modelled on China’s. This is our future if you don’t start standing up.

This Is a long time coming, but let’s face it China has the biggest military in the world and is not afraid to turn them on there own citizens. Good luck I hope they prevail.

9NewsMelb

Go Chinese

It's about time

The chinese people are facing the same oppression as Dutch farmers , Canadian Truckers & Australians who just wanted to work. Covid isn't the problem. Government and MSM are the real enemy , evil bastards

When is AlboMP and his celebrity mates going to China to have their photo taken in solidarity with the people of China living under government oppression ?

Surprised they haven’t started shooting them yet

Yay👏 Good on them, fight for your rights👍

Arrest the cookers

More anti-COVID protests in China triggered by deadly fireProtests against China’s restrictive COVID-19 measures appeared to roil in a number of cities Saturday night, in displays of public defiance fanned by anger over a deadly fire in the western Xinjiang region. 9News Noted article is from AP. So without reading it, am I correct in assuming China is the “baddie”, the people in the streets are rebelling and shouting ‘democracy & freedom’ against Covid restrictions and an “evil regime” and there’s no discussion of the merits of China’s strategy?

Why “Covid zero” is now the biggest China threatOPINION: China is stuck in the lockdown mentality because it initially worked. It’s now strangling the economy and beginning to trigger serious unrest. Would be same in Victoria, Australia but for Federal Government pressure. it's their own fault. they should have been better at stealing mRNA technology
