In viral videos on social media residents in Shanghai, China, can be heard screaming from their apartments, while a drone can be seen issuing warnings about COVID-19 restrictions as the country
sticks to its strict zero-COVID policy amid an increase of infections. A video circulating on
Twitter shows high-rise buildings in Shanghai at night, with people heard yelling from their windows.
"Shanghai residents mad as hell, can't take it anymore. china's zero covid policy getting dangerous," Ian Bremmer, a political scientist and the president and founder of Eurasia Group, wrote on Twitter on Sunday, sharing the video.
