I am sure the tolerant Chinese government will just let these fizzle out.

 

Wave of civil unrest grips China 'in largest anti-government protests since Tiananmen Square': Police attack anti-lockdown activists on bus and rallies openly call for Xi to resign as fury over Zero-Covid policy flares for THIRD day after deadly flat fire

 

China is facing its largest anti-government protests since the Tiananmen Square massacre after activists filled the streets to openly call for an end to the rule of President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

 

Hundreds of students at Tsinghua university in Beijing joined waves of demonstrations as unrest grows over the ruthless zero-Covid policies pursued by the authoritarian government.

 

The crowds carried a series of placards touting anti-regime slogans and erupted into a series of chants, calling for 'democracy' and 'freedom of expression'.

Saw some sick videos on this topic yesterday.  A tad too violent to post here.  Sad day for the innocent Chinese people.

If the populace were armed, this garbage would have been over in a hurry, and long ago.

Just think what Bidementia's regime would have done to us by now.

It was always unsettling when in my Shanghai hotel room with BBC on in the background, and the screen goes blank.  Took me a few minutes to figure out it was the government censors.

 

Regardless, there are certainly some people that will disappear in China.  Nothing new.

Some in this context is measured in the millions.

The sad thing is there is a lot of talk on the Democrat side of things like this related to population of control.

Control of population?  

 

The sad, infuriating (equal parts) part is that these people both "know better" and have the wherewithal to start or even achieve these things.

 

And, Supreme Leaderette Half-Whitmer would be perfectly suited to do what the Bee article suggests.

Yes, but it is the economic system that comes with single party rule that really stings...Socialism.

My NB moment for the day!  There goes the platinum status.

 

Yes, the entire Covid restrictions put in place by mostly far left Democrat leaders were a trial run of how far they could go (it was perfect, there was no way anyone could decisively prove it was harmful).  Massachusetts even went so far as to force app downloads to track people.  And yet, many of those totalitarians were re-elected somewhat validating their actions in their warped minds.
