    >They had arrested him for his own good in case he caught Covid from the crowd

  2. Strange the BBC are risking life and limb to cover protests in China when they so wilfully ignored almost all the anti-lockdown protests in the UK. Just following orders, I guess.

  3. Well hey, if the Chinese can get away with beating up our citizens here in the UK they’d have zero problem doing it in their own country.

  4. Zero covid is like zero flu,never gonna happen,just another excuse to bitch their population into submission. And to think we followed the Chinese plan and needlessly locked down a country.

  5. Pity the BBC didn’t really defend the world’s greatest journalist – Julian Assange – who has been imprisoned for 10 years now.

  6. These are the actions of a regime finally beginning to crumble.

    All the CCP had was the rule of fear. They appear.to have lost that, so now they will enforce their rule to the extreme until they are removed like every fallen regime in human history did.

  7. Based CCP. All you have to do is publicly talk about how good the CCP is and how great China is and how those evil western dogs are liars and they’ll not only leave you alone they’ll give you that sweet credit so you can live like a king.

  8. Your UK government is so pathetic. This is how they treat yours while you protect those ccp thugs that beat up people in Manchester. Get down on your knees and gobble up some ccp dicks. So pathetic your government cow towing to ccp all the time.

  9. Apparently he was meant to be helping organizing the protests on Telegram or something. There seems to be a tiny contingent of the protestors that are anti-CPC whereas the vast majority of them just want a better response from the CPC.

    There’s a bunch of memes now about protestors being CIA, or paid, or foreigners or whatever emerging which tbh is kinda sad.
