BNN BLOOMBERG POLL: Will China protests have a large impact on international business?
The people gathered in the city's central business district at about 7:40 p.m. local time, with some holding blank pieces of paper — mimicking what many protesters have done in the mainland to protest the country's strict anti-COVID measures. Others laid flowers on the ground to mourn the victims of a fire in Xinjiang.
The protests — occurring in cities from Beijing to the far western outpost of Kashgar — are shaping up to become one of the biggest threats to the Communist Party since the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. It also deals a blow to Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has doubled down on the country's COVID policy, after he gained a precedent defying third term in office.
