People have found a new way in China to oppose the Corona restrictions.

Protesters in China are using blank sheets of paper to express their anger against the COVID-19 restrictions.

This rare form of expression of dissent has spread beyond social media to China's streets and universities.

Photos and videos circulating the internet showed university students in several cities, including Nanjing and Beijing, holding blank sheets of paper in silent protest.

This is a strategy used to avoid censorship and arrest. 

According to Reuters news

, China is following its zero covid policy, while most of the countries of the world are trying to survive with the corona virus. 

An apartment fire sparked anger in the western city of Urumqi on Thursday.

10 people had died due to the fire.

Here some people were locked up for 100 days.

Speculations are rife that the Covid lockdown measures may have hindered the exit of the residents. 

According to eyewitnesses and video, a candlelight march for the Urumqi victims was held in Shanghai.

The crowd gathered late on Saturday night was holding a blank sheet of paper.  

At the same time, a widely shared video is being told of Saturday.

It shows a woman standing on the steps of the University of Communications in China's eastern city of Nanjing with a piece of paper, after which an unidentified man arrives at the scene and snatches it from her.

This video could not be verified. 

On the other hand, in other pictures, dozens of other people are seen in the university with blank sheets of paper at night by turning on the flashlight of their mobile phones.

Later a person is seen scolding the crowd for protesting.

"One day you will have to pay for what you have done today," she said in a video seen by Reuters.

At the same time, the people involved in the crowd shouted in response, "The state will also have to pay for its actions."

Widespread individual protests are rare in China, where space for dissent has been stifled under President Xi Jinping.

Citizens are mostly forced to have their say on social media, where they play a game of cat and mouse with the censors.  

People gathered on the grounds of Beijing's prestigious Tsinghua University on Sunday for China's national anthem were also seen with blank sheets of paper.  

In chat groups seen by Reuters, protesters have been advised to bring a white paper to at least one of the planned demonstrations. 

In the year 2020, when the protests in Hong Kong were at their peak, the activists there used blank sheets of white paper in protest to avoid slogans banned under the National Security Act.

At the same time, protesters in Moscow have used white blank paper this year to oppose Russia's war with Ukraine. 

Many internet users have shown solidarity by posting pictures of themselves holding blank white squares or blank sheets of paper on their WeChat timelines or Weibo.

As of Sunday morning, the hashtag "white paper exercise" was blocked on Weibo, prompting users to lament the censorship.
