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.

If our side had kept it at that instead of walking into the Democrat's trap, we might not have had to listen to almost two year of "Jan 6".
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.

Which is exactly why they’re now stuck. Having doubled down, it would look bad to reverse course. There might be questions about the infallibility of the government. So they dig a deeper hole.
A good idea for foiling the face recognition cameras.
Look for the aftermath of Tianamen. That one guy stopping the tanks was pretty much the only one they didn’t roll over.
In China if you are in a protest and the “cops” start talking with an unfamiliar accent, get the hell out of there; it’s about to go south.
If this really gets out of hand the Chicoms are going to have to call in General Tso and his fried rice Infantry Division.
Except Musk. Lol…
But, that genie is not going back in the bottle.
In America, the professional government class doesn’t even have to pretend to care about the people - the peasants - any longer.
We are far more dictatorial - with a more placid, pacified population - than even Europe these days.
.
Only a certain “flavor”.
Whites almost completely left Africa after creating all the infrastructure.
They can make Wakanda.
A black nation that hid all of their benefits from other blacks.
Wakandans are jerks to blacks...
The Chinese can always persuade their commie government to release another COVID plague on the merry makers.
Wearing masks in Asia was popular for years before covid.
A couple billion people around the world throwing open the windows and yelling “I’m madder than hell and not going to take it anymore!” could create quite a racket.
But would anyone in authority really be listening?
The mistake was to have a rally in the Mall with 800,000. There were bound to be enough provocateurs and idiots who’ll follow them into trouble. That was what happened with the Democrat National Convention in 1968. The massive demonstration against the war in Vietnam was coopted and turned violent.
Massive demonstrations are too vulnerable to the professional troublemaking class and the idiots who’ll follow after them. Instead have many spontaneous, small demonstrations all over the country. They’re easier to organize and harder to disrupt and coopt.
Amen.
How could you tell if a million Chinamen gathered in one place?
For tears before covid, silly Asians have worn masks - yet every year, influenza spreads from China.
