Protests across the country reveal deep anger and frustration at three years of lockdowns and social control.
China’s Communist Party runs the world’s most extensive surveillance and police state, so any public protest against its policies takes courage and runs great personal risk. That’s all the more reason to recognize the widespread demonstrations that broke out this weekend against the Chinese government’s draconian zero-Covid restrictions.
They reveal the public’s deep frustration after three years of the world’s most restrictive Covid policies that have shut down entire cities for weeks and months on government orders without public debate or recourse.
The trigger for the protests seems to have been an apartment fire in Urumqi, in Xinjiang province. Fire trucks reportedly had difficulty getting access to put out the fire, which killed 10. Xinjiang has been under its most recent Covid lockdown since August, and it is the Western province where Beijing has imposed mass confinement and re-education of the Uyghur Muslim minority.
The protests spread quickly throughout China as young people in particular went to the streets. Some held blank sheets of paper, which has become a symbolic protest against the restrictions on speaking against the Covid coercion and other abuses.
Local protests aren’t uncommon in China, typically against some environmental, commercial or local government abuse. The protesters typically appeal to Beijing to right the wrong. But these protests are notable for criticizing a national policy and Communist government excesses. Video from Shanghai even showed Chinese shouting “Xi Jinping, step down!”—referring to the head of the Communist Party who was recently anointed for a third term as Chinese President. Even saying those words aloud could land them in prison.

But Trudeau-Castro and Xiden-Xi agree with the CCP.
How man people are protesting? Thousands, tens of thousands, more? What fraction of the 1,400,000,000?
A good rule of thumb is that the actual conditions are at least one order of magnitude worse than the reports that leak out of any Oriental/Communist regime.
Maybe Fauci can find work there.
China has been the Globalist dry run for the rest of the world. It’s coming here next…
China’s Communist Party runs the world’s most extensive surveillance ... way over 500,000 cameras and counting - all running facial recognition software.
How man people are protesting?

Impossible to know because only people with VPNs which are highly illegal can access the internet, and that’s before the PAP brings in the signal jammers.
But the protests are all over china in all the cities you never heard of, towns, villages, universities (where it began).
How many? Millions and millions are actually fighting back against the police - unheard of in China. more over the chants they are using would ordinarily bring immediate disappearance - no trial, just gone, never to be seen again. Yet that is happening all over China. Because now, the people feel hey have nothing left to lose.
Bkmk
What you have noted makes this much different than Tiananmen - this is unfolding across the country in towns, villages, and cities.
Right ... there is no comparison - Xi will have to kill millions which will make it even worse, because, as noted, the people of China now have nothing left to lose.
Starting a war on Taiwan will not help.
The University protestors were po'testing right below their dorm tower!
That suggests a couple of really unsavory possibilities, that the PLA is fully embedded in these student groups and provoking the coming complete crackdown that Xi really, reallllly wants.
Because the Foxconn protests weren't fake. And if the mandarin-prole-16hoursaday-assembler protests spread to other electronics manufacturers -- as opposed to, say, students who could be disappeared in a weekend -- THAT is when the sXit is going to hit the fan inside the CCP.
There were several good "Escape from Foxconn" stories earlier this month, Breitbart's was worth reading.
You’re not well informed. That’s ok, understandable.
You generally need to see Chinese sources or non msm sources with personal Chinese contacts.
Now after it started, the chicoms have been able to greatly decrease video coming out. They have jamming trucks they’ve mobilized to block communication.
The big whites have been seen with big guns out now also.
“The big whites have been seen with big guns out now also.”
Who are the “big whites”?
Big whites are authorities all dressed in those white haz mat suits.
Initially they were Covid health workers but now people’s Armed Police wear it too.
Here’s an image.
