Residents in Xihongmen town, in the suburbs of Beijing, recently fought with police about having to pay for new entry passes to their village—which is part of a new system to monitor people’s movements in an effort to prevent the spread of the CCP virus.

Several villagers were detained, and at least one police officer was injured.
