After the second wave of Foxconn riots at the iPhone factory in Zhengzhou, a deadly fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang, caused massive protests across China. Chinese people are defying Beijing’s draconian zero-covid policy as protests have broken out across China in Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu, and more cities. China has not seen this many public demonstrations since the Tiananmen student movement in 1989. How will Beijing handle this?
