Covid-19 Protest in China: People's anger against China's 'Zero Covid Policy' and the government is increasing. Protesters have taken to the streets of big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan. In the midst of this protest, one particular thing has caught the attention of the people. That is - 'Blank paper'.

This blank paper has become the main symbol of the demonstrations taking place in many cities of China. Thousands of people are demonstrating with a blank piece of paper in their hands. Let us know why the Jinping government is afraid of a blank paper? How did the protesters find this unique method? And what is the reason...

Recently, a fire broke out in a 21-storey building in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, China. In this accident, 10 people were burnt alive and nine were injured. At the time when this incident happened, there was a lockdown in Urumqi due to Corona infection. People allege that due to the strict lockdown, there was a delay in reaching the relief work, due to which such a big accident took place. Due to this, angry people came out on the road and started protesting against the 'Zero Kovid Policy' and the Jinping government. In no time, this demonstration, which started from Xinjiang, reached Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chengdu and Xi'an. 

One thing is common in the anti-government protests that started in many cities of China. It is that people are taking a blank paper on the road and waving it demanding the resignation of President Jinping. In no time, the blank piece of paper has become a symbol of anti-government protests. Be it the students of Beijing's Tsinghua University or the people on the streets of Shanghai, everyone has a blank piece of paper in their hands.  

The roots of such demonstrations in China are linked to the 2020 protests in Hong Kong. Then Hong Kong locals waved blank pieces of paper against the draconian new national security law. In fact, the government here had banned slogans related to the protests in 2019, due to which blank sheets were waved in protest. 

Regarding this kind of demonstration in China, people say that this kind of demonstration is also a challenge to the administration that are they being arrested for not saying anything? Similarly, a woman involved in the Shanghai demonstrations says that of course nothing is written on the paper, but we know what is written on it. 

Several videos of China's anti-government protests have come to the fore. In these, police officers are forbidding the protesters to raise slogans against the government. In such a situation, a protester says that blank paper is a symbol of the fact that we want to say a lot, but cannot say it.
