Thousands of people across China are rising up and rejecting the ‘New World Order’ lockdowns imposed by the authoritarian Chinese regime.
Protests have erupted in Beijing and the Xinjiang region over the harsh COVID-19 lockdowns following a deadly fire on Thursday in a high-rise building in Urumqi that killed 40 people.
Angry residents took to the street in Urumqi, the capitol of Xinjiang, with protesters chanting “End the lockdown!” while punching their fists in the air, following the circulation of videos of the fire on Chinese social media on Friday night.
Summit.news reports: Protest videos show people in a plaza singing China’s national anthem – particularly the line: “Rise up, those who refuse to be slaves!” Others shouted that they did not want lockdowns. In the northern Beijing district of Tiantongyuan, residents tore down signs and took to the streets.
According to an early Saturday news conference by Urumqi officials, COVID measures did not hamper escape and rescue during the fire, but Chinese social media wasn’t buying it.“
The Urumqi fire got everyone in the country upset,” said Beijing resident Sean Li.
