Student Activists in China Speak Out the Government Relents Chinese authorities have reportedly begun tactically bargaining with citizens to quash dissent erupting across the country. Massive protests have seen people of all demographics united in outrage over the draconian lockdown policies of the past two years.
There have been huge rallies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and Chengdu, with as many as 50 of China's universities seeing students defiantly taking to the streets. More than a week into these street protests, China's National Health Commission responded by rolling back zero-Covid policies.
Those who test positive no longer have to be quarantined in camps and people no longer have to prove their Covid status to gather in public spaces. Traveling within the country is also being loosened. The speed at which China is opening demonstrates that the outcry from the public is working. "Zero Covid is almost over, there's still a way to go," wrote a protester on Telegram. "We need the world to keep paying attention." |
