Protests Rise in China Against Zero-Covid

Thousands of Chinese citizens have been defying the government recently and protesting on the streets of universities and major cities. Protestors are demanding the cease of incessant Covid testing and lockdowns, along with the ending of strict government control over aspects of life.

Protestors have begun to shout “want freedom” around the country while fighting their local fights for freedom and control of their lives. Many residents have been provoked by China’s Zero-Covid policy, which has prevented emergency workers from accessing a scene. These residents have had enough of the strict Covid regulations after a long and trying three years. There have already been a verified 20 demonstrations of protest across 15 major Chinese cities.
