Hundreds of demonstrators in Shanghai shouted and jostled with police on Sunday evening as protests over China’s stringent COVID-19 restrictions flared for a third day following a deadly apartment fire in the country’s far west.
“The people here aren’t violent, but the police are arresting them for no reason. They tried to grab me but the people all around me grabbed my arms so hard and pulled me back so I could escape.” “People there were very passionate, the sight of it was impressive,” the student said, declining to be named given the sensitivity of the matter.
