Protests have also broken out in Shanghai against China’s corona policy. The reason is a fire in the city of Urumqi in the western province of Xinjiang that killed ten people on Thursday. According to the demonstrators, the victims could not escape the flames due to a strict lockdown. Such open protests are unusual in authoritarian China, which has a population of 1.4 billion.
