Mass demonstrations against China's strict pandemic measures have broken out in multiple cities across the country

. Despite this, demonstrations against zero-COVID continue to sprout in major cities, including the capital Beijing and the financial hub of Shanghai.

The grievances against testing and quarantine requirements that reached a fever pitch over the weekend have also morphed into brazen opposition against Xi and the ruling Chinese Communist Party. “We don’t want a leader, we want votes,” chanted protesters in Beijing Sunday carrying blank white sheets of paper,. In Shanghai, protesters have called for Xi and the CCP to step down and apologize.

Yes and what relevence to the article or china for that matter.

Zero covid policy resulted in mass gathering in protest. Policy is a misfire

I support their cause. 💪💪💪💪💪

Didn’t you push lockdowns in the US during covid? I seem to remember some articles explaining why lockdowns were necessary

Communism sucks.

How much did TIME get paid?

The CIA White supremacist color revolution has already failed.

Urumqi road is in everyone's heart.

This is just the “New” protests… Now that you can’t hide them you want to show them. Smells🐟🐠🐡🍣

傻逼清零政策,傻逼莱克多巴湾贱畜!

Time only can prove that China will get better, Chinese people will live healthier and more happy!

They should sit down and be quiet according to Canada… “using protests to demand changes to public policy is something that I think is worrisome.” Trudeau

It's absurd. Many cities in China are protesting, but the CPC has blocked all the information about this matter on the Chinese network platform. Even one billion Chinese people do not know what happened

The based dissidents vs the virgin Xi

Down with the CCP

希望他们平安
