Amid mass protests against widespread Covid restrictions in China, the country's authorities have signaled some relaxation of the "zero covid" policy.
Dozens of districts in Shanghai and Guangzhou that have seen a surge in cases lifted restrictions on Thursday.
Protests against the strict pandemic prevention rules have been held in the capital Beijing, China's largest city Shanghai, as well as in Nanjing, Chengdu, Wuhan, and other places. The participants of the speeches held blank white papers instead of slogans, thus trying to bypass the censorship.
