[Central News Agency] Ten deaths in Xinjiang's lockdown sparked public outrage, and dissatisfaction spread across China.

On the 26th, people in Shanghai shouted "Xi Jinping step down" when they supported Xinjiang.

Scholars describe the CCP as facing a dilemma. It cannot open up immediately, and the containment cannot solve the epidemic.

A fire broke out in a community in Urumqi, Xinjiang a few days ago, and it is suspected that excessive epidemic prevention and control caused death and injury.

On the evening of the 26th, Shanghai citizens gathered on Urumqi Middle Road, lighting candles to mourn the victims, shouting "Don't do nucleic acid", "Be free", and "Xi Jinping step down".

In addition, the words "Don't block and control, be free" appeared in Peking University and students in Nanjing held blank papers, etc., and protests spread in many places.

Earlier, there was a joint letter from various Chinese universities requesting the unblocking, and more than 50 universities have signed it.

Zhong Jinjiang, a scholar living in Australia and chairman of the China Democratic Solidarity Alliance, attended the "2022 Overseas Chinese Democrats Watching the Taiwan Election" on the morning of the 27th. He was interviewed and pointed out that the students connected together and people from all over the country took to the streets to support and protest, which showed the Chinese people's respect for China's country. Chairman Xi Jinping has gone against the grain in the past 10 years, from opening up to closing the country, and then being dissatisfied with being re-elected for life.

The Chinese people are "aware" of such changes, but it's hard to say usually, all the public grievances erupted through this incident.

Zhong Jinjiang said that the CCP is very troubled now. The continued blockade has caused public grievances, but it cannot be opened immediately, because if the blockade is lifted according to public opinion, Xi Jinping will not be able to step down, and there is no way to explain it. After all, the strict blockade measures are Xi Jinping’s will and persist in.

Chen Jie, director of political science and international relations research at the School of Social Sciences of the University of Western Australia, who attended the same event, pointed out that for Xi Jinping, zeroing out is a "political issue." This would damage Xi Jinping's personal image.

"If the unblocking is announced now, it means that Xi Jinping is wrong, and dynamic reset is a stupid policy."

He also mentioned that when Vice President Wang Qishan attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II (Queen Elizabeth II), he wore a mask the whole time, "for Xi Jinping to see."

Wang Dan, a Chinese pro-democracy activist and director of the Dialogue China think tank, issued a 5-point appeal on Facebook this morning, hoping that the outside world will pay attention to what is happening in China, "Suppression will definitely happen, but once such slogans (Xi Jinping step down) out, the symbolism is extremely important.”

This appeal emphasizes "don't make sarcastic remarks, but work harder and encourage more", and says that the most important thing is to spread the news "as soon as possible to a large number in China"; for overseas actions, we must encourage and support , but in the name of individuals, not in the name of organizations, "don't give the CCP a chance, saying that their actions were provoked by foreign forces."

In addition, "pay close attention to and spread the word at any time"; and invite capable people to "contact the international media, so that the world will start to pay attention to what is happening in China."
