Hundreds of Chinese communist youths gathered for a huge demonstration at the Mao Zedong Square in the city of Shaoshan, Mao’s birthplace, on the eve of the communist leader’s birthday. With paroles echoing across the square, the protesters condemned the capitalist restoration policies of the ruling Communist Party of China, calling for a return to socialism and collectivization.
"The Chinese leader followed that up with a New Year’s address saying it was “only natural” for 1.4 billion people to have divergent views, adding: “What matters is that we build consensus through communication and consultation.”"
... by locking up and torturing until consensus is built. Political gaslighting on a whole new level. 🤦♂️

HC fellow in China, Renzong Qiu, tells us "A massive wave of Covid infections has begun...The ethical imperative facing Chinese people and our government is to find a way to both fulfill people’s urgent desire to lift Covid restrictions (and restore normal life and the economy) and to minimize the resulting harms."
