Protests has erupted in multiple cities across China, including Urumqi, Shanghai, and Wuhan.

Some protesters even chanted "CCP, step down" and "Xi Jinping, step down". Others recited the slogans from Beijing's lone protester at Sitong Bridge last month:

No lies, we want dignity
No cultural revolution, we want reforms
No dictator, we want the vote
No more being slaves, we are citizens

Videos and photos of the protests are shared by liberal Chinese netizens. Some had hashtagged their posts with "Liberate China, Revolution of Our Times".

Some protesters were seen holding up blank sheets of A4 paper, devoid of any slogans. Some had written messages on theirs: "What's so scary about blank paper?" "I'm a Chinese youth, not foreign powers".

Shanghai police has reportedly begun arresting protesters on the streets. The crowds responded with resistance as they retreated.

On the Clubhouse platform, protesters hosted a live feed to show the situation around them. They urged their audience to share their message, just as Iranian protesters did, so that the world can see their efforts.

Nearly a thousand people watched the live feed, some leaving comments that they should emulate Hong Kong protesters' "#BeWater" tactics to avoid casualties. Others predicted Shanghai will be under a heavy curfew by tomorrow. One commenter shared a Mandarin version of Hong Kong's protest anthem "#GloryToHongKong".

One of the hosts said that the most precious lesson she learned from the Hong Kong protests is "#DoNotSplit". She called on other protesters not to criticize each other, but instead respect each other's decisions.

Chinese Students Hold Posters and Flowers on HKU Campus;
Police arrived to record their personal information

According to the #UnderGrad, an official publication of #HKUSU, there were at least 2 #Chinese students holding leaflets and flowers at the university on 27 Nov to mourn the victims of the #Xinjiang #Urumqi fire. Police arrived after the university reported the incident; officers recorded personal information of the students involved before leaving.

A fire broke out in a residential building in Xinjiang Urumqi on the evening of 24 Nov. It is said that at least 20 people were killed, including many children. The youngest deceased was only aged 3.

On Chinese social media, many questioned whether the #lockdown measures obstructed the rescue. Some fire trucks were suspected to be unable to approach the fire. A few video clips also showed workers in white PPE appeared to be breaking down fences and barricades.

Since the accident, mourning activities sprang up in many cities across China. Institutions like #CommunicationUniversityofChina and #BeijingUniversity appeared to have opposition movements. #TsinghuaUniversity students gathered and raised a piece of white paper to protest. In #Shanghai, groups of people were even chanting slogan, "Let the people go".
