Protesters have taken to the streets across China after years of the government's zero-Covid policy have left citizens feeling desperate. CNN's selinawangtv reports from China.
In a rare show of anger at the Chinese Communist Party, thousands of protesters have amassed in the streets of more than a dozen Chinese cities in recent days calling for an end to strict Covid lockdown measures and political freedoms. It is one of the top stories — if not the top story — for major news organizations around the world.
“The lack of media coverage, due to Xi’s control, restricts the spread of information and helps, to some degree, prevent the protests from proliferating in an unbridled fashion,” Philip Hsu, a visiting fellow at Brookings and director of the Center for China Studies at National Taiwan University, said Monday. Hsu left open the possibility that some of the coverage decisions could be due to self-censorship.
