The streets and squares of Shanghai, China, witnessed more protests against Corona restrictions, as citizens gathered in the squares to protest the precautionary restrictions imposed by the Chinese government for fear of an outbreak of the Coronavirus (known also as COVID-19) according to the Reuters news agency website.

Crowds have demonstrated in Shanghai and other cities across China against the strict coronavirus measures that have disrupted life in China for three days as the epidemic spreads.

From the streets of many Chinese cities to dozens of universities, protesters demonstrated civil disobedience unprecedented since leader Xi Jinping came to power a decade ago.

During his tenure, Xi has overseen the suppression of dissent and the expansion of a high-tech social monitoring system that has made protesting more difficult and more dangerous.
