China protests spread to country’s biggest cities

The Chinese authorities are taking tough action to try to suppress spreading protests against the country’s Covid restrictions.

People have marched in many large cities demanding an end to lockdown and restrictions.

There have also been calls for China’s President Xi to resign. The scale of the protests is presenting an unprecedented challenge to the country’s dictatorial leadership.
