Weeks after what seemed to be a grand celebration of the Chinese Communist party’s achievements, came protests in several Chinese cities and many college campuses, calling for an end to the government’s zero covid restrictions, brutal lockdowns and crackdowns, and even some calling for Xi Jinping to step down.
