discussion Violent protests in Guangzhou amid Zero-Covid policy and rumours

[Robert]

Quote

Crowds of residents in southern China's industrial metropolis Guangzhou have escaped a compulsory lockdown and clashed with police, as anger at strict coronavirus curbs boiled over.

Dramatic footage shows some overturning a police vehicle and tearing down Covid control barriers. Riot teams have now been deployed in the area. 
 

Tensions had been building in the city's Haizhu District, which is under stay-at-home orders.

 

The area is home to many poorer itinerant labourers. They have complained of not being paid if they are unable to turn up for work, and of food shortages and skyrocketing prices while living under Covid control measures. 

 

For several nights, they'd been tussling with the white-clad Covid prevention enforcement officials, and then overnight on Monday the anger suddenly exploded onto the streets of Guangzhou with a mass act of defiance.

 

Again, unsubstantiated rumours have played a role. Stories have spread that the testing companies are faking PCR results to artificially boost the number of infections in order to make more money.

The fact that saying this 2 years ago earned me a warning for like 3 months here

Glad everyone is coming to their sense, and by everyone I mean leftists who were against scientific evidence just to be against Trump.

Most people are sheep literally incapable of thinking for themselves, they will only follow what the media tells them to think, whether it be CNN or Fox News

 

It is quite funny though how Covid numbers are just as bad as they were in the past and yet now the same people who were willing to rat out family members to authorities for hosting a party are now going out and travelling without a mask not caring at all
