There was a massive outbreak of protests in the Chinese megacity Chongqing on January 7 after thousands of workers were suddenly laid off by Zybio, Inc., a company that manufactures Covid-19 test kits.
On Wednesday, the National Security Counsel Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby, appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” to answer the question of whether or not the White House supports the Chinese protestors calling for Xi Jinping to step down and the White House’s stance on Covid restrictions. Kirby took President Biden’s lead in his initial response and skirted the issue stating only that the White House is “on the side of peaceful protest” and was not “taking a side in terms of what these protests are about.”
In a scene all too reminiscent of the July 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent tanks into Xuzhou, a city of 9 million in eastern China, Tuesday night. The tanks were ordered to Xuzhou in an effort to suppress a recent rash of protests that initially broke out in response to Jinping’s zero-Covid policy that led to the deaths of at least 10 people when a fire broke out in a locked-down building.
Protests and unrest in China over President Xi Jinping’s zero-tolerance Covid policy and continuing lockdowns have now spread from Beijing and the western region of Xinjiang to numerous other cities, including Shanghai and Wuhan, and has reached as far east as Nanjing.
