CNN live reporting from an anti-government protest in China wasn't something I ever expected to happen in my lifetime.

Who knows what happens next BUT it is an incredible moment in history.

Remember 17% of all humans live in China

How come everyone is wearing a mask (except you)? One great way to resist is to take off the masks and live their lives. The police can’t arrest a billion people. They’ll have to give up.

I, as a citizen of Myanmar, your neighbor, stand in solidarity with the people of China. We are also facing oppression by the military junta supported by Xi Jinping and at the same time, we are fighting back against them. Fight for our shared future. pic.twitter.com/90dOzueLET

I stand with the people of China against the Communist state's oppression. Retweet if you do too.

An unprecedented wave of protests across China directly challenging the Chinese Communist Party’s authoritarian rule.

Spurred by draconian COVID measures, the Chinese people are now denouncing Xi Jinping. Watch:

Einschüchterung von Journalist:innen gehört zur Strategie der KP. Schon immer. Jetzt werden die Schrauben aber offensichtlich nochmals weiter angedreht.

Es ist höchst unangenehm, live zu berichten, während man umzingelt ist von Uniformierten, die mit Festnahme drohen.

These kind of mass protests have not happened in China since 1989. Reflects that people are sick and tired of Zero Covid. Doubt if anything politically will stick on CCP or Xi.

God bless them all; may they prevail or at least keep going. The Western World “leaders” have to wake up, voice support for these brave protesters and denounce the CCP. But when Klaus Schwab calls China “the model for developed nations” we know something is wrong.

@Ray_Kassar

It's a common knowledge that in any country some people never appreciate or understand some gov actions that is good for them. Testing is important, however inconvenient it might be. Good on them for voicing their opinion, and good on the government for continuing the tests.

In reply to @selinawangtv

CNN is a strong proponent to lockdowns &authoritarians. They gleefully and feverishly allowed their network to be used to usher in dramatic images and propaganda to scare the sheep into submission. They have to be agreeing the Chinese government on this, nothing else makes sense

@SirSteven

pretty extraordinary...

This is what the CCP wants us to see. They don't show us the brutal crackdown in other cities. The protests where the call is for Xi to go, the call for democracy. Don't be fooled. When everywhere else internet has been shutdown, and this is allowed, it is not the truth.

The dictator has used covid controls as an excuse to gradually enslave and domesticate people's human rights. A tragic fire not only has killed young and innocent children, but burned people's endurance, seeing this hypocrisy and hideous face of CCP behind their brutal governance
