Xi faces public anger over zero-COVID policy

Security is being tightened in several Chinese cities in response to large protests over the government's strict covid measures. Hundreds of people have turned out to demonstrations across the country in recent days, calling for an end to China's lockdowns and in some cases, for president Xi Xinping to resign. Such protests are extremely rare in China, where there are strict censorship rules. Solidarity protests have also been taking place overseas, but China's government is showing few signs of backing down.
