Chinese officials initiated the highest level of censorship of the unprecedented protests against the regime’s zero-COVID policy and ramped up curbs on tools used to bypass the nation’s internet control, according to reports, offering a glimpse of how the government is responding to the toughest challenges in decades.
From the capital Beijing to the remote county of Korla, Chinese citizens took to the streets, calling for an end to the strict COVID curbs and demanding freedom. In Shanghai, residents directed their anger toward the Chinese Communist Party and its leader, demanding that they step down.
