The severity of the Chinese authorities in terms of policy against Covid-19 seems to be increasingly criticized in the country. The challenge is now displayed in public toilets. Explanations with journalist Lou Kisiela, local correspondent, Thursday 27 October.
Faced with the policy pursued by the Chinese authorities against Covid-19, the population is becoming less and less docile. “Soon three years of zero Covid policy, and we see more and more signs of anger in China”explains journalist Lou Kisiela, correspondent on the spot, Thursday, October 27. “Two weeks ago, a man unfurled a banner on a bridge in the middle of Beijing, calling for the removal of Xi Jinping and criticizing the zero Covid policy”she explains.
“The protester was arrested, and the footage censored. But the message got through anyway, as the very words are repeated in graffiti in the public toilets, the only place without CCTV cameras in China”, continues Lou Kisiela. These words are also “printed on tiny labels stuck in the metro or on self-service bicycles”, says the journalist. Last weekend, in Shanghai (China), a group of young women also marched holding a banner. “In China, these are rare and courageous acts of protest, since they can lead directly to prison”she concludes.
