Pandemic restrictions
We’ve seen lots of photos & videos of rioting, looting, police violence and general unrest in China over the past couple days, as pandemic restrictions in Shanghai, Jilin & other places become unbearable for countless people. A brief roundup here below:
Some of what we’ve seen, like this photo here, is of unclear origin, but it is a pretty clear expression of what is going on the ground. The graffiti here reads something like “zero covid my ass”. Might be from Jilin, or somewhere in the dry northeast, rather than green Shanghai
There are several videos from Friday night of a large protest, said to be from in the neighborhood of Kangting, in Songjiang district of Shanghai. Residents shouting “发物资” “give us supplies”
More said to be from Kangting:
A scuffle, also said to be from Kangting:
More chanting “发物资” “give us supplies”
What looks like looting and distributing of supplies, said to be from Kangting as well
White suits kicking and beating someone in Kangting
The Jiuting village government later issued a letter to residents, apologizing for not “living up to expectations”, and promised to issue free rice and vegetables to residents

This rather iconic image is said to come from Haining, Zhejiang province, and speaks for itself. A poor old man, literally beneath the boot of the state
…some say the man in the picture above is the “uncooperative super-spreader beggar” wandering the streets, labelled as “patient zero” who allegedly brought the virus to Haining, according to this state media piece here

In Jilin, police bark via megaphone at a resident who issued “inappropriate” remarks in a group chat, and asked them to “fix” what they said, and say their remarks amount to crimes. They call them by their house number from the street, for all to hear
WeChat messages of someone who killed and ate their dog out of hunger, said to be a someone from the northeast. Based on the name of the resident complex listed in the chat, it’s likely they’re in Changchun, Jilin province
A hungry Shanghai man reportedly tries to drive out to buy groceries, and is cheered on by residents in nearby buildings as he confronts the police who stop him
People surround a cop car and demand the release of someone who’s been arrested inside. It’s unclear where it’s from, though the poster here notes that covid restrictions have caused more trouble than average social unrest like forced demolition of homes
