A conflict between a police officer and a father-daughter pair in northeastern China’s Dandong city angered the Chinese people. Under pressure from public opinion, the regime was forced to ease some of the restrictions in the city on June 24.

Such a move is a big deal for a city that had been locked down for over 60 days to curb the COVID-19 outbreak.
