The Jewish media is claiming that the protests against all these zero COVID lockdowns across China have become a threat to Xi Jinping’s rule. They are saying that these are the largest protests since 1989.
Here’s some of what’s being posted about them.

In a rare surge of protests in China, demonstrators called for the ruling Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping, to step down, amid anger at the deaths of at least 10 people in an apartment fire in Xinjiang, presumably during a strict Covid lockdown. https://t.co/7eT7YT4nHw pic.twitter.com/WT54Q0yC1M

New videos from the last night’s protests in Wuhan show that the scale of the protests in the city is larger than initially thought.

As I have said previously, it is impossible to confirm if these are videos of things currently happening, if they are old videos, or if they contain outright staged disinformation. I don’t doubt that there are protests happening, but the actual scale of them is hard to say.
I do want to note that the Jew media coverage of all this is ridiculously hypocritical. These same people attacked virus lockdown protesters in the West as being evil super spreaders while defending the governments that imposed them. In this case, they are portraying the Chinese protesters as brave freedom fighters against a tyrannical government.
Major media outlets are now giving extensive coverage to the anti-lockdown mass protests in China. But they turned a blind eye when mass protests against lockdowns occurred in many other countries around the world. The hypocrisy is off the scale.

Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act as a response to anti-Covid restrictions protests. Bank accounts were frozen. The media largely ignored this.China 🇨🇳
Anti-Covid restrictions protests. Main story on the news.— James Melville (@JamesMelville) November 28, 2022
Those that condemned the protesters & applauded the governments in many countries, now applaud the protesters in China for doing the same, they’re fukn hypocrites.

I’ve been highly critical of the zero COVID policies that China put into place. It was a bad look for China and you can’t treat people like this indefinitely before you get a reaction of some kind. I think that’s part of the reason why Western governments made the decision to back off on the virus lockdown lunacy earlier in the year in favor of doing the Ukraine war stuff. They were reaching a point where revolutions were becoming probable if not possible.
Because China kept pushing this zero COVID stuff, it sparked a negative public reaction and it is now being fully exploited by the West and used to attack the government.
In general, I support Xi Jinping. He’s been a transformative figure on the world stage, but I never understood why he has continued with the virus hysteria, zero COVID lockdowns etc.. after the rest of the world moved on from all of it. They should have just declared victory and moved on but instead wanted to use it as a control mechanism for various domestic and geopolitical purposes.
Xi has not responded to all of this, but I hope he figures out a solution and abandons all this zero COVID nonsense.
