Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Monday faced unprecedented dissent after thousands of demonstrators protested in cities across China over the weekend against his zero-Covid strategy -- with some daring to openly call for his removal in the streets.
The people of China are openly speaking their minds in the form of protests which are now spread to many major cities against the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping himself
These protests are even bigger than the Tiananmen Square incident of 1989 and the slogans ‘Communist Party step down’ and ‘Xi Jinping step down’ are chanted for the first time in the country, Voices Against Autocracy reported.
These protests are even bigger than the Tiananmen Square incident of 1989 and the slogans ‘Communist Party step down’ and ‘Xi Jinping step down’ are chanted for the first time in the country, Voices Against Autocracy reported.
These protests have now spread to other major cities like Guangzhou, Xinjiang, Wuhan, Chengdu, Dali, Lanzhou and Beijing that too with similar slogans against the CCP, Xi and the Zero Covid policy
The last time anything like this happened in china was during the May Fourth Movement in 1919 and the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989, as reported by Voices Against Autocracy.
Until now, the people were afraid of the repercussions that the CCP will make them go through on top of the unimaginable atrocities that they were already suffering.
And because of this the protests that broke out were either suppressed or were not able to hold and grab attention. However, this is the first time in decades that they have gathered to present a united front against CCP, said the report.
After a fire broke out in the Jixiangyuan Community in Urumqi, Xinjiang China on November 24. People overall china university students are staging protests against the CCP and Jinping. In this fire, 10 people died and nine were injured including children. All this was because of the extreme restrictions under the Zero Covid policy of China’s oppressive regime.
