Chinese riot police in white hazmat suits clashed with people in southern China’s Guangzhou city on the evening of Nov. 29, according to online videos seen by Reuters.

In one Twitter video, dozens of riot police holding shields advanced in formation over what looked like torn-down lockdown barriers, while objects were thrown in their direction. Later, police were seen escorting people in handcuffs away from the site.
