Brave protestors in China set up a banner with plumes of smoke protesting authoritarian scamdemic policies. A protestor could be heard chanting slogans like "go on strike at school and work”

One sign read:

"No Covid test, we want to eat. No restrictions, we want freedom. No lies, we want dignity. No Cultural Revolution, we want reform. No leaders, we want votes. By not being slaves, we can be citizens."

The protest in China against authoritarian scamdemic control measures, just days before the National Congress, was quickly shut down by police.

Xi Jinping is expected to win the election and secure a third term.
