People are seen throwing objects at the police, who were then seen taking nearly a dozen men away with their hands bound with cable ties. The wave of protests stemmed from simmering frustrations over China’s “zero-COVID” policy that — three years into the pandemic — still leaves millions under lockdown and quarantine, limiting their access to food and medicine while ravaging the economy and severely restricting travel.
The main symbol of the protests has become holding up blank pieces of white paper to demonstrate their lack of free speech rights. On Wednesday, US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns said that “the Chinese people have a right to protest peacefully.”
