The CCP’s implementation of the zero-covid policy has caused disasters everywhere on the mainland. The closure of doors in Urumqi, Xinjiang caused a large number of fire casualties and sparked nationwide protests. In Foshan, Guangdong, there was another rumored nucleic acid stampede accident. It is said that many people were injured, including a three-year-old child with a broken leg.
On 24 November 2022, a video was uploaded on the Internet showing that at a nucleic acid testing site in a certain place, a stampede happened to a crowded crowd.
It was reported on the Internet that the incident happened in the Leliu Xinbu Management District, Shunde District, Foshan, Guangdong Province. It is said that many people were trampled and their hands and feet were broken. The youngest injured was a three-year-old child with a broken leg bone.
Netizens said that the health codes of all residents in Leliu town turned red overnight, and officials claimed that it was because of a "system failure." The red code caused panic. Residents rushed to the nucleic acid point for their nucleic acid tests. At one time, eight or nine thousand people gathered. Coupled with the closure of multiple intersections, the rain was heavy at the time, and the crowd with umbrellas was crowded, causing order to get out of control.
The CCP officials have not mentioned a word about this stampede. Netizens ridiculed, "Three years of tossing, the tossing has exhausted the country's poor and people, and it's not over yet!"

Chinese protests spread rapidly. "Put Down Your Guns" urges military and Police to stop shooting
Reporter : Luo Tingting / Editor : Wen Hui / Video links in https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/11/28/a103585056.html
Recently, protest movements against the tyranny of the CCP are rapidly spreading across China, and the authorities dispatched a large number of military police to violently suppress them. There is a popular song "Put Down Your Guns" on the Internet, calling out to the CCP's military and police, "A big change is underway, and people must not be shot at." Wang Dan, a pro-democracy activist, said that if the CCP shoots, it will surely collapse.
The protest movement triggered by the fire tragedy in Urumqi, Xinjiang, has spread rapidly across China. Since November 26, citizens in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places have taken to the streets to protest the CCP’s tyranny of epidemic prevention and demand the lifting of the blockade.
A video posted on the Internet shows that residents of a residential area in Tongzhou, Beijing pushed down the iron barriers and shouted to unblock them. Someone shouted to the police present: "Who asked you to lock up, why did you lock us up, you get paid, we don't get paid." This resonated with the protesters.
In the evening of the 26th, people in Shanghai gathered in Urumqi Middle Road to protest, shouting the slogan "Communist Party step down! Xi Jinping step down!", but were violently suppressed by the police and many people were arrested.
But the next day, a large number of Shanghai citizens took to the streets to protest again, demanding that the authorities release the arrested protesters.
A video posted on the Internet showed a man holding flowers to mourn the victims of the fire. He stood on the road and encouraged the people at the scene: "We must be brave, and the Chinese must be brave. We don't have to be afraid. What are we afraid of?"
While the man was speaking, multiple police officers forcibly kidnapped him and stuffed him into a police car. The citizens at the scene surrounded the police car angrily, shouting "Let him go! Let him go!"
The CCP’s violent suppression failed to deter the Chinese people’s will to fight. A Chinese man posted a selfie video on social media, saying that he would protest in front of the local city government building, holding a blank piece of paper that read "Communist Party step down, Xi Jinping step down".
The man said: "After 49 years, what they (the Communist Party) are doing is one political campaign after another, the Three Antis, the Five Antis, the Cultural Revolution, and the Great Leap Forward, killing Chinese people wave after wave. "Now they have sealed up all the Chinese people and locked them up like animals. It's unbearable."
He said that although he also had fear in his heart, he still had to speak out, "The Communist Party will step down, and Xi Jinping will step down."
In response to the resistance movement that has been launched in mainland China in recent days, the netizen "Roy^^Reviving the Spirit of the Pre-Qin Dynasty" released a song on Twitter, calling on the Chinese Communist Party's military and police to "put down your guns."
He attached a post, urging netizens to repost the song, "Please tell all your friends and relatives in the army and the police that a big change is underway! They must not do evil, must not violate human nature, and must not open Guns,... otherwise what awaits them in the future is a trial, prison, or even the death penalty..."
In June 1989, college students in Beijing protested in Tiananmen Square. The CCP dispatched the army to massacre the students, but some army generals and soldiers who still had conscience refused to shoot at the people.
In the evening of 27 November, Wang Dan, the leader of the 8964 student protests, posted on Facebook that mass protests of varying scales have erupted in many cities from Beijing to Chengdu, from Shanghai to Wuhan, and they have unanimously put forward political demands. Meanwhile, students at dozens of universities have raised protest cries.
Wang Dan believes that the nationwide civil uprisings in China have actually happened. If the Beijing authorities adopt a soft policy and make some concessions, the situation may calm down temporarily; but if they adopt a policy of violent suppression, or even shoot, major events that change the world will happen.
"I said very early on that 'June 4th' will only happen once." Wang Dan predicted that as long as the CCP dispatched troops to suppress it, the collapse of the CCP, which was thought to be in the foreseeable future, would happen soon. "Maybe the whole world is not ready yet. Good. But the collapse of the Communist Party of the former Soviet Union also happened overnight by accident around the world."

“共产党下台”引热议：中国人喊出这话太难了！
Large-scale protests have broken out in many places in China in recent days. In particular, people in Shanghai collectively chanted the slogan "Communist Party step down!", which has attracted global attention. Some people lament that under the long-term political pressure of the CCP, the Chinese can still make such a cry, "It's too difficult!"
A few days ago, a fire broke out in Urumqi, Xinjiang, where the rescue was delayed due to the epidemic lockdown, killing at least 10 people. This triggered a wave of Chinese protests against the CCP authorities.
At night of 26 November, a large number of Shanghai residents gathered on Urumqi Middle Road in Shanghai to express their condolences to the victims of the fire in Urumqi. Facing hundreds of police officers guarding the scene, the protesters angrily shouted slogans such as "Communist Party step down!" and "Xi Jinping step down!" .
Although some people were arrested by the police, the protests still spread rapidly to all parts of China. According to the information sent by netizens on Twitter and other social media, at least a dozen first-tier cities, including Beijing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Nanjing, etc. Large-scale protests broke out; at the same time, more than 100 colleges and universities also held protest rallies one after another. The protesters expressed their protest against the CCP authorities in the form of holding blank papers, launching a rare "blank paper revolution".
Especially when Xi Jinping has just started his third term, and under the unprecedented strict control of speech by the CCP authorities, the protesters dared to shout sensitive political slogans such as "the Communist Party stepped down", which resonated with a large number of people at home and abroad. This is considered to be the largest public opinion awakening movement in China since the "June 4th" incident.
This protest has not only spread across China, but Chinese students studying abroad have also begun to launch solidarity activities. Outside the CCP’s consulate in the UK, there are constant calls for “the Communist Party to step down”; protesters in Tokyo sang the march of righteousness, shouting “the Communist Party, Xi Jinping, step down.” ".
On Chinese Twitter, a large number of netizens expressed their admiration and solidarity with the protesters. Someone exclaimed: "The Communist Party is down, this is the most radical slogan so far!" "The Communist Party is down, Xi Jinping is down!" Bar!"
Another Twitter user said, "China is the China of the Chinese, not the China of the Chinese Communist Party."
"From Sitongqiao warriors uncovering poles, to Foxconn employee riots; from Chongqing Superman shouting, to major colleges and universities gathered to respond, and finally heard the voice of 'Communist Party step down! Xi Jinping step down!' in Shanghai." June 4'33 Years later, the Chinese once again could not bear it anymore, defied power and violence, and once again took to the streets collectively! Where is the next struggle? The people will answer with actions!"
The Chinese civil rights organization "Minsheng Watch" issued a statement on 27 November, stating that thousands of young people gathered on Urumqi Middle Road in Shanghai a few days ago, shouting "Communist Party, Xi Jinping, step down!" This is the first time in China since 1989. In the collective protests in the mainland, the most courageous political demands for direct regime change were shouted out.
The statement stated that “the anger towards the zero policy must inevitably converge to the anger towards Xi Jinping, and the anger towards Xi Jinping is also projected to the CCP who chose Xi Jinping to be re-elected as the dictatorial leader. Therefore, during the protests in Shanghai, young people shouted together, ‘The Communist Party step down!, Xi Jinping step down!' the strongest voice of the era."
The statement said that the anger and resistance of Chinese youth will inevitably change China, and everything has just begun.

Beijing Liangmaqiao protest scene, students questioned where the "foreign forces" came from (Video)
Reporter : Luo Tingting / Editor : Wen Hui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/11/28/a103585105.html / Image : Video Screenshot
In the evening of 27 November 2022, college students in Beijing gathered in Liangmaqiao to protest against the tyranny of the CCP. Someone claimed that there were foreign anti-China forces making trouble at the scene, and was questioned by other students: "Is the fire in Xinjiang caused by foreign forces?" "We can't even access the Internet! Where did we come from foreign forces!"
The fire tragedy in Urumqi, Xinjiang triggered protest movements against the tyranny of the CCP in various parts of China. University students in Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan took to the streets to protest.
A video uploaded online shows that on the evening of the 27th, a large number of people gathered in Liangmaqiao, Beijing. They held blank papers to protest, shouting slogans such as "unblocking", "freedom", "freedom without nucleic acid", and "end Cultural Revolution 2.0".
Some protesters shouted "Hi Shanghai, I am Beijing" to support the arrested protesters in Shanghai. Passing vehicles honked their horns to express their support, and many people got out of their cars to film the protest scenes.
There are also some people of unknown origin trying to muddy the water and divert the attention of the protesters. A video showed a young man at the Liangmaqiao protest site in Beijing claiming that he had just received news that there were "foreign anti-China forces" around the protesters.
As soon as this remark came out, the protesting students were furious and shouted at him: "We are all Chinese!"
A student wearing glasses asked him through the loudspeaker: "The foreign forces you are talking about are Marx and Engels? Is it Stalin? Is it Lenin?"
"Is the fire in Xinjiang caused by foreign forces? Is the bus in Guizhou overthrown by foreign forces?"
Another young student in white took over the loudspeaker and asked the people present: "Big fellow, am I called by foreign forces?" People responded loudly, "No!"
The man went on to say, "We can't even access the Internet from abroad! Where did we get foreign powers! How can foreign powers communicate with us?" "Only domestic powers won't let us gather!"
The man in white asked the people present loudly: "Can we go abroad now, or can we access the Internet abroad?" The people answered in unison: "Neither!"
He asked again, "How can foreign forces contact us?" Everyone responded in unison, "We can't be contacted!"
He mocked, "Where did the foreign forces come from?" "The moon?"
This video aroused resonance and heated discussions among Twitter netizens. Some netizens bluntly said, "The one who said 'foreign forces' are either stupid or bad. I think they are both. If there is no problem with oneself, no force is useless. Knowing that there is a problem in oneself, do not solve the problem but push it to foreign forces, this kind of person is the problem and should be solved first."
Many netizens said, "That's good, you still use the same old tricks to fool students, it's extremely ignorant." "I suggest that the next protest should show the portraits of Marx, Engels and Lenin. Let these fascists know who the foreign forces are."
"Whoever wrote foreign forces into the textbooks, they have to learn from elementary school to postgraduate entrance examinations. What are the intentions of these people (the CCP) to do such things to 1.4 billion people?"
"This is intentional. (The CCP) has been brainwashing the people of the country. The bad things in our country are done or instigated by foreign forces; this will confuse the public, let the blame be blamed by foreign forces, and they will not be blamed. "
Some netizens praised young people in China for being clear-headed and rational, and not being deceived by the CCP's brainwashing propaganda, "The kids this year are awesome! May you be safe, my brother can do nothing but burn incense and pray for your safety! "

Assistant professor at American University: The wave of protests is epic
Yang Zhang, an assistant professor at the American University School of International Service who studies elite politics and political economy, posted a picture on Twitter of "areas where Chinese colleges and universities have locked down anti-epidemic outbreaks" and said, "This wave of protests in China is spontaneous, novel and epic."
“Why were the Chinese people able to mobilize on such a scale to protest against a regime that has recently become more authoritarian? Why did Xi Jinping’s total control lead to a total collapse? Why did China’s all-encompassing security and surveillance apparatus fail to prevent the protests from happening?” Zhang Yang asked rhetorically. road.
He said, "The revolutionary movement has its immediate and underlying reasons. The immediate cause of this movement is obvious - people's dissatisfaction with the zeroing policy, especially the strict implementation of the policy after the party congress. There seemed to be no way out, no end, and no hope."
He also said that this could be the start of more protests in China and that continued zero-covid policy is unsustainable.

Fauci: China's strict lockdown has no public health significance
Reporter : Chen Chengliang / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/4138626
CCP China's excessive epidemic prevention has allowed protest movements to blossom all over the country. Senior US health officials questioned on the 27th that China's current zero-covid policy is meaningless. They believe that it is impossible to contain the covid virus (covi), calling on China to improve vaccinations in lieu of lockdowns.
"Bloomberg" reported that White House epidemic prevention coordinator Ashish Jha said that it is difficult for China to contain covi through eradication. He suggested that China adopt a strategy of ensuring that everyone is vaccinated, especially the elderly. This is the way to get rid of the virus, and it will be difficult to maintain epidemic control and covid clearance.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser of the White House who is about to step down in December, pointed out in an interview with the NBC program "Meet the Press" that the Chinese authorities seem to be setting no targets. In the case of a long-term blockade, from the perspective of public health, it does not actually make sense.
Fauci believes that CCP vaccines are not as effective as Western vaccines such as Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. In an exclusive interview on CBS's "Face the Nation," Fauci also said that China seems to be adopting blockade measures without a strategy that is ready for opening up.

Anti-"blockade" and anti-authoritarian protests continue to rise in CCP China. Protesters in Shanghai boldly shouted "Communist Party step down! Xi Jinping step down!", shocking the world. Gordon G. Chang, an expert on China issues, said that these protests are different from the "June 4th". The Chinese people are now directly attacking the root of the problem, that is, "the CCP's rule is destroying China."
On Sunday (27 November), students at Tsinghua University, the alma mater of Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping, staged a protest demanding "democracy, the rule of law, and freedom of expression."

Zhang Jiadun: The CCP’s rule is destroying China
Zhang Jiadun, an expert on China, wrote on Twitter, "Unlike in 1989 (June 4th), the Chinese people (this time) went straight to the root of the problem, that is, the CCP rule is destroying China (#CCP rule is destroying # China)."
In his tweet, Zhang Jiadun also attached a video of the Shanghai people’s protest that night posted on Twitter by Eva Rammeloo, a China correspondent for the Dutch daily Trouw on Saturday night. In the video, the crowd can be clearly heard chanting "Communist Party step down! Xi Jinping step down!".
On the evening of 26 November 2022, protests broke out on the streets of Shanghai demanding the resignation of the CCP. The picture shows that on the 27th, some people can still be seen clashing with the police in Shanghai. (Hector RETAMAL / AFP)
Zhang Jiadun's comments sparked many responses. The Twitter account "FREEMAN911" responded, "Yes! This time, we fight for freedom!"
Twitter account "RealPoCoTex" said, "Socialism will eventually destroy any country it touches."
Twitter account "Ahn" responded: "The Chinese people firmly oppose tyranny! No one should live like that!!"
The Twitter account "Aaron Bolton" said, "The Chinese Communist Party cannot and will not continue to maintain this situation where the state controls everything. Unlike Cuba, (China) has too many people and they are fed up."
Zhang Jiadun said that if Xi Jinping decides to shoot protesters prematurely, he will only anger the Chinese people. Unlike in 1989, the economy is now in a "death spiral" and "he can't buy anyone".
He also said, "This decision not to relax the 'zero-clearing policy' will not be accepted in China as a whole. The era when the Communist Party can intimidate the Chinese people is over. It is expected that more people will resist the rule of the Communist Party of China."
Taisu Zhang, a professor at Yale Law School, tweeted on November 26 that if you follow Chinese politics long enough, you have to wonder if the anti-lockdown protests have reached an almost inevitable, top-down to the point of severe, nationwide repression.
Enough is enough, the anger of many people has reached a breaking point.
The CCP’s extreme “zero-clearing policy” has brought about constant tragedies: On 7 March 2020, a Xinjia Hotel in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, was used to isolate close contacts collapsed, resulting in the death of 29 people; on September 18, 2022 In the early hours of March 20, a bus in Guizhou that was transporting COVID-19 quarantined personnel overturned, killing 27 people; in the middle of this month, the news that a 4-month-old baby in Zhengzhou died due to illness and could not be treated, once again ignited public concern about the The anger of the CCP’s excessive epidemic prevention; on November 24, a fire broke out in a high-rise residence in Urumqi, Xinjiang, killing 10 people and injuring 9 people (the public said the actual number may be higher). The local people believe that the zero-clearing policy of the Chinese Communist Party authorities and the containment measures of the epidemic have hindered the rescue of the fire and prevented the trapped people from escaping in time.
The deadly fire has outraged ordinary Chinese struggling under lockdown. Protests followed. Throughout the weekend, protests erupted on the streets or by college students in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Chongqing, resisting the blockade, demanding freedom, no nucleic acid, and even pointing fingers at the CCP rulers.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Yanzhong Huang, a senior fellow on global health at the Council on Foreign Relations, said, "A lot of people are reaching a breaking point."
Huang Yanzhong and several other analysts compared the wave of protests related to zeroing to the public sentiment at the time of the Tiananmen protests in 1989.
"If the government doesn't handle it properly, this highly volatile situation could quickly turn into the worst political crisis since Tiananmen," Huang said.
Protests by Chinese university students have drawn particular attention. In addition to the student protests at Tsinghua University, according to China Digital Times, students from Nanjing Institute of Communication, Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, Sichuan International Studies University, Xi'an International Studies University, and Fudan University also protested in various ways.
Some videos showed that at the Nanjing Institute of Communication, students lit up the scene with mobile phone lights, sang the national anthem, and shouted: "Long live the people, rest in peace", and some students gave speeches.
Later, some teachers and leaders of the school rushed to the scene, and a teacher taught the students: "You are very interesting, you don't understand a lot about the country..." But was interrupted by the students, a boy outside the screen shouted: "You are too understood, are you the 27 people in the Guizhou car?"
The Wall Street Journal reported that on the campus of Peking University, according to an undergraduate student who participated in the event, students wrote anti-blockade protest slogans in red paint, and then about 200 people gathered to sing. The student said the school tried to get the crowd to disperse, but the students laughed at them, saying the only thing they were good at was censoring speech.
"I'm excited to see how bold the students are," the student said.
A picture posted by the Twitter account "Ms. Li is not your teacher" shows that on the wall near the stairs of the cafeteria in Peking University's hometown, red text appeared on the evening of the 26th: "Don't block and control, be free! Don't nucleic acid, eat .Being pragmatic is not about lying flat and looking at the world with your eyes open. Dynamic clearing is always a lie, and there is still a buffer to turn around as soon as possible.”
The slogan was later wiped down by the school.
The CCP’s crackdown on dissent has intensified over the past decade. Protests over the same issue in multiple Chinese cities are rare. The protests underscore the growing toll on Chinese society of mass testing and lockdowns, which have become increasingly unsustainable.
CCP China now faces its worst economic slowdown in decades as frequent lockdowns shut businesses and exacerbate youth unemployment. In addition, there are many reports that many people died of other diseases because of the blockade and the lack of access to treatment.
