Why Are Protests Erupting Across China? Here's The Latest On The Government's Zero-Covid Policy And The Fire That Sparked Nationwide Dissent
Here in the US, it feels like the coronavirus pandemic is pretty much over, but that couldn't be farther from the truth in China. Arbitrary Covid restrictions across the country have resulted in thousands of protestors taking to the streets, defying authorities, and demanding freedom.

People have moved on with their lives and realized that coronavirus isn't nearly as dangerous of a virus as the press and government made it out to be in 2020.

There are thousands of people in China who are taking to the streets and refusing to accept the policies that are forced on them by authorities.
