Hundreds of students from Beijing 's Tsinghua University took to the streets today for a protest against the anti -Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the government.
«At 11:30 (4:30 in Italy) the students started showing signs at the entrance to the canteen, then more and more people joined. Now there are 200 to 300 people... We sang the national anthem and the Internationale and shouted 'freedom will prevail'", said one student»).
On Wednesday, new cases of coronavirus in China reached their highest levels on a daily basis since the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020: according to updates from the National Health Commission, domestic infections stood at 31,444, of which 27,517 were asymptomatic.
These are minimal numbers considering what is happening in other countries, but relevant in China where the " zero tolerance " policy is still followed, albeit in the dynamic version, based on lockdowns , mass tests and quarantines .
The figure exceeds the almost 30,000 infections in mid-April, in the midst of the outbreaks that blocked Shanghai for two months.
