“A summary of the experience that the oppressed Chinese people have been going through for so long and their strong desire to come out as who they are.”
Street protests across China followed the death of ten people in a fire in a block of flats in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang (East Turkestan, the Uyghur region) on 24 November. Protests in Urumqi itself, and in many other cities across China in the following few days, said that the ten had died because Covid curbs stopped them fleeing the fire. As of 29 November, the protests had ebbed for the time being, but they represent a new peak of an agitation building up for months.
