China resorts to internet blockade as Covid cases spik

A Chinese political commentator on Youtube has said that there is an internet blockade and heavy lockdown of the Fudan University campus, Shanghai.

He said that recently when Fudan professor and CCP member Zhang Weiwei expressed his support for the authorities' extreme lockdown and zero-covid policy, even advocating the Chinese model against the European and American models he was beaten by a young professor at Fudan University.

Weibo also has many such speculative posts which are based on a Wechat screenshot. But there is no concrete proof, picture or video of the incident yet.

Although a few other political commentators have also talked about this happening, Fudan Uni Weibo account has refuted them as mere rumours. Non-mainstream HK media reported that students at Fudan University have been expressing their dissatisfaction, and the clues could be seen in the last week.
