Beijing: Crowds of people in the Chinese city of Guangzhou crashed through Covid barriers and marched down streets in chaotic scenes on Monday, according to videos posted online, in a show of public resentment over coronavirus curbs.
Among the latest outbreaks in China, Guangzhou’s is the largest, with new daily infections of Covid topping 5,000 for the first time and fuelling speculation that localised lockdowns could widen. Videos shared on Twitter showed noisy scenes in Guangzhou’s Haizhu district of people charging down streets and demonstrating with people in hazmat suits. Twitter is blocked in China, and several hashtags related to the topic of “riots” in the area were scrubbed from China’s Twitter-like Weibo by Tuesday.
