Wave of civil unrest grips China 'in largest anti-government protests since Tiananmen Square': Police attack anti-lockdown activists on bus and rallies openly call for Xi to resign as fury over Zero-Covid policy flares for THIRD day after deadly flat fire

China is facing its largest anti-government protests since the Tiananmen Square massacre after activists filled the streets to openly call for an end to the rule of President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Hundreds of students at Tsinghua university in Beijing joined waves of demonstrations as unrest grows over the ruthless zero-Covid policies pursued by the authoritarian government.

The crowds carried a series of placards touting anti-regime slogans and erupted into a series of chants, calling for 'democracy' and 'freedom of expression'.

The university in the Chinese capital is the latest public location to be rocked by unprecedent civil unrest and demonstrations on a scale unseen since the infamous Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 which ended in hundreds of deaths when the army was deployed to quell the uprising.

'At 11:30 am students started holding up signs at the entrance of the canteen, then more and more people joined. Now there are 200 to 300 people,' one witness told an AFP journalist.

Participants sang the national anthem and 'the Internationale' - a standard of the international communist movement - and chanted 'freedom will prevail' and 'no to lockdowns, we want freedom', they said.

CIA, CIA, CIA after the media oppressed us during COVID demonized us protesting COVID policy now they want to cheer on anti-COVID restriction protests in China.

Only MI6 and the CIA have the power to get them to do this IMHO.

This is a test. The globalists are seeing how hard you can push before the entire population rebels.

Sean Penn and Danny Glover are deeply saddened.

Meanwhile, Xi Jinping needs a helicopter ride for helping COVID to spread across the earth.

Yep. Seeing it from other sources too. This isn’t just anti covid lockdowns either. This is anti CCP and anti Xi.

Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot killed millions. Xi may have to do the same.

Great line.

Too bad the media idiots think it’s true and so do the morons who passively absorb their tripe.

We may never know. It took years for the truth about the dead from the Tiananmen Square aftermath was uncovered-—if even that was accurate.

I worked with a student assistant from China (an anti-Communist devout Christian) who told me the death toll was much larger.

Another person who took a trip to China a while back said to me “Everywhere you go in China there are people who don’t want to be heard saying it but they wish they had what they see on TV from the West. The government leaves that unsatisfied but for how long.”

From the videos the Chinese have managed to get on the Internet these protests look to be throughout China in major areas. One showed the people breaking through a police lineup without hesitation.

It is not unusual for that countries military and government to KILL EN MASS, to put down anything remotely like a rebellion.

If they killed 300 million, they still have plenty more for another general killing. If they kill 8 hundred million, they still have plenty more of another general killing.

Protests work against democracies because we tend to elect leaders who have ‘a conscience’... That’s not the case in totalitarian hellholes.

In those places like China when the ‘elites’ get tired of protesters they kill them or arrest them on ‘thought crime’ charges. Kinda like what Biden did with the ‘Occupy Congress’ protest on Jan 6th that turned into a riot.

Holding up a blank paper will surely get you killed, they need to drop the paper and attack full force a million strong to have any effect
