"A fellow lawyer said it wasn't appropriate and reminded me of the risks, but ... I just want to provide them with whatever help I can," lawyer Wang Shengshen told Radio Free Asia."I want to thank them and ... do anything in my power to support them at this time, or I wouldn't be able to live with myself.”
"There is a huge sense of public grievance right now, and the Tsinghua University students are up in arms,” a retired Chinese official quoted only by his surname also told Radio Free Asia."If they mishandle this, the whole thing could explode because regular people can't carry on like this; they may as well fight.
Officials at Tsinghua University in Beijing reportedly are trying to mollify the students, who turned out by the hundreds on Sunday after 10 people died in a fire in Xinjiang province. The university administration met Monday with a group of student leaders, and they kept the meeting focused on the pandemic restrictions, according to reports.
The protesters poured scorn on the regime in their weekend demonstrations. “I want to ask: The foreign forces you are talking about, are they Marx and Engels,” one student, per a translation from the Spectator’s Cindy Yu, said in reference to the German philosophers who developed the philosophical basis of communist ideology.
Let's hope so.
