Protests against strict Covid measures in China have spilled into a second night and spread to the biggest cities. Demonstrators gathered in the capital Beijing and the financial hub Shanghai.
Many held up blank pieces of paper to express their discontent and acknowledge the censorship. Some have, however, gone as far as calling for President Xi Jinping to step down.
Millions have been affected by nearly three years of mass testing, quarantines and snap lockdowns.

Riots in Belgium, Netherlands after Morocco win at World Cup Violence ran riot in several Belgian and Dutch cities after Morocco’s 2-0 upset win over Belgium at the World Cup
The ChiComs have gotten control of Canada the eay way: they bought its pols.
Plus I’m sure the people in China are allowed to watch the World Cup on TV and they see packed stadiums with people having fun and no masks and they are locked in their homes and businesses
Hey you
Out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you
Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you
Don’t help them to bury the light
Don’t give in without a fight
Hey you
Out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you
With your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you
Would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart
I’m coming home
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you
Out there on the road
Always doing what you’re told
Can you help me?
Hey you
Out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you
Don’t tell me there’s no hope at all
Together we stand
Divided we fall
(We fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall)
No beer! Beer buzzes matter!
Wow this is bad. If these riots get anymore severe in China it could delay Chinas payments to the DemoMarxist RINO uniparty
(link in French, but with photos and videos)
Iran sentenced 15,000 protestors to death.
I’ve heard estimates of as many or more were killed in China in the 1980s after student protests.
More difficult for oppressive regimes to ‘keep a bottle’ on speech with advances in media.
The Chinese government was STUPID for not ending this ZERO-COVID strategy long ago. They’ve placed themselves in a position where they will appear weak if they end it NOW.
Huge demonstrations still going on in Brazil.
Don’t worry. George Soros and Jeff Bezos will hold the line.
Some Americans showed up and waved signs in Jan 6.
But they taught us not to do that. We learned our lesson. We behave ourselves now.
So instead they’ll mow down protestors and lock down everyone. If the violence increases BECAUSE of this, they’re done.
j/k
Watched a few videos of the COVID protests in China. They’ve had enough of the lockdowns. But they’re still wearing their masks as they protest........

In the U.S., it’s been super easy; barely an inconvenience.
Big Tech and the MSM has worked very efficiently with government, that is to say Democrats, to tamp down free speech. Just look at the hubbub that erupted when Elon bought Twitter and potentially broke their wall of censorship.
Any prediction how long this will go on?
When voting is meaningless…there will be another outlet.
America, where voting has become meaningless in the past few years, and that is accelerating now, should take note.
