China Residents Rebel Against COVID Lockdown, Take to the Streets in Video
Residents in northwest China succeeded in ending their month-long lockdown after a rare neighborhood protest forced a change in policy. Now deleted footage that emerged on China's main social media service, Weibo, showed dozens of people demonstrating inside a residential area in Xi'an's Yanta district in Shaanxi province. The city of 13 million people was placed under a full lockdown on December 23, but the neighborhood in question had already been quarantined a week earlier. The indefinite lockdown was causing distress and affecting their livelihoods, the neighbors shouted.
