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.

Only the leftwing media would equate riots over lockdowns (China) and riots over a stolen election (Brazil) to riots after a soccer match in Europe.
Stunning lack of awareness or blatantly corrupt media.
PS - we have had riots after NBA championships and just about any police activity that results in death or injury if it fits a certain narrative.
The riots against the CCP and in Brazil are very newsworthy events but Anderson Cooper will probably call them “tea baggers” soon.
Sorry “Matt” or “Travis” or whatever deep state name you use.
You’ve shown your colors and who you work for.
Amish Farm riots - surprised nobody has commented. I thought it was pretty funny.
The Chinese government was STUPID for not ending this ZERO-COVID strategy long ago
This is a lie, they use lockdowns and covid for the media while they hold down unrest and discontent
RE: Chinese government should have ended the lockdowns long ago, now will appear weak....
Admit I’m guilty in advance. Regardless of it being a cruel stereotype, I have found many instances in my own life and in reading history in which the Chinese often (not always) stick to a stubbornly held opinion or policy and expect “negotiations” to mean the other guys eventually will have to give in to them.
Silly example: I used to especially love the egg drop soup at a certain Chinese restaurant. When one cook happened to be working he put a lot of black pepper in, but the others didn’t. I asked the waitress if someone could ask the cook not to use it because I really don’t like black pepper. She said it would do not good as he likes black pepper personally and won’t change and he’s been a cook for years. My suggestion the customers could add it from the table shakers was rejected.
Another: Different Chinese restaurant offered excellent Chicken with Garlic and Ginger, but I had to ask for light spice version. Still got extremely spicy one. The waiter said “When the owner is here she insists on the way she likes it, very spicy, regardless of the customers. She refuses to change.”
Last one. Student assistant from China was trained in various tasks but then did it all his favorite way. Eventually was let go. Had argued with the boss that the young assistant’s way was superior.
Pretty silly to lump soccer fans rioting over a game with Chinese protesting for freedom.
Kazakhstan is seeing riots over their sketchy election, at least partly because Russians in Kazakhstan want to remove the pro-China president. This is quite possibly Russia acting while China is busy with internal unrest, as Kazakhstan has been drifting away from Russia and toward China over the past decade.
And quiet here
WHY THE FOUNDERS CODIFIED THE 2ND.
You should read his books, especially the “Enemies foreign and domestic” trilogy and his book of essays.

Enemies Foreign and Domestic
… EFAD is an action-packed read, with most of the skill and creativity being demonstrated by the private sector, which is IMO 100% realistic.

If the US covid lockdown experience is any evidence, the CCP would not be having problems locking down their populace if their nation was populated by American Democrats.
The only reason Justin Trudeau won 4 elections is because he’s handsome. THAT’S RIGHT, I SAID IT!
He has nothing of real value to offer, and he’s just another Commie tyrant. But he’s physically attractive to female voters. JMO.
Then it makes you wonder if it isn’t manufactured there exactly as it has been manufactured here.
Perhaps an attempt to evade facial recognition software??
Dedicated to Xi Jinping:
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible
There’s no need for the jury to retire
In all my years of judging, I have never seen nor heard
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law
The way you made to suffer
All those Chinese men and women
Fills me with an urge to DEFECATE!!!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fears
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers!
TEAR DOWN THE WALL!
Should’ve happened in Phoenix, but we’re yet too comfy to bother. Wait a few years, and the bare shelves, frigid homes and unnecessary deaths might spur us all to action.
The depth of the CCP surveillance state is almost unbelievable. You have to have certain apps on your phone, if you’re somewhere (like a mall) when a covid infection is detected they can switch the QR code on your pone from green to red and you are locked down in place.
