0:53People protesting against China's strict COVID lockdowns returned to the streets of Shanghai despite being forcibly removed by police using pepper spray only a few hours earlier.

But protesters were scathing."We just want our basic human rights," said one in Shanghai who did not want to be identified. "It is virtually impossible for people in China to protest peacefully without facing harassment and prosecution. He said police stomped on his feet as he tried to stop them from taking his friend away. He lost his shoes in the process, and left the protest barefoot.Sky News witnesses Shanghai protestReuters reported it had seen a video showing Beijing residents in an unidentifiable part of the city marching around an open-air carpark on Saturday shouting"end the lockdown".

习近平下台 滚蛋

You can only push people so far. Note to governments: You work FOR the people, and much as you may have temporary delusions of grandeur, you remain at their grace.

There was so public anger in the UK against continued covid lockdowns, while the politicians broke their own rules...later to be called 'guidance'

Why didn't you support the British people when they protested against the exact same thing?

Where there is oppression, there is resistance

Stand with us. Please support china democracy.Long live freedom china!

中国不是百姓之中国,中国为权贵之中国。中国之未来在于建设民主制度,建立由公民选举为基础,权力机构互相制衡的体系,其中司法系统必须独立运行。建设公民社会,缩小贫富差距,结束教育垄断。开放新闻自由,出版自由,学术自由,言论自由等等民权。打倒独夫民贼习近平!打倒独裁腐败共产党政权!

No more stupid, No more ignorance , No more anti-science. Xi step down, CCP step down

The lockdown measures are really terrible. They locked fire engine accesses with the Chains to prevent people get out of the building. And the government said the reason why that ten people were died in the fire that their ability to save themselves is too weak.

theres still lockdown measures there

theres still lockdown measures there

just similar protest happened in Australia last year ...but these reporters had no problem with that

🤦🏾‍♂️

You know something is up when Western journalists are being allowed to document this all from inside China (never happens). The One Global order is putting the sheep exactly where they want the....

CHINA BAD! But weren’t UK protesters beaten? How many died in the UK because of lockdown?

RachelSJohnson HYPOCRISY

Surprised tht the amount of ppl cannot overwhelm the police. Handcuff the police hands together,instead of running away turn around & chase them & rope them together.

I thought you hated anti-lockdown protestors and spent 2 years trying to unseat a government because they didn't impose them harshly enough. What changed?

You frauds.

Good on em stick two fingers up at em

Remember when Sam Coates used to cream himself at the thought of another lockdown?

Giga Shanghai is ok? elonmusk, maybe it is worth overestimating the risks of locating production in autocracies?

Weird that you're covering these protests but ignored all the ones that happened in the UK/Europe in the past few years. 🙄
