Chinese state television was accused of censoring maskless World Cup fans as the country deals with intense protests over Xi Jinping's 'zero-COVID' policy.
Protesters hold up blank papers and chant slogans as they march in protest in Beijing, Sunday, Nov. 27, 2022. Protesters angered by strict antivirus measures called for China's powerful leader to resign, an unprecedented rebuke as authorities in at least eight cities struggled to suppress demonstrations Sunday that represent a rare direct challenge to the ruling Communist Party.
Demonstrators poured into the streets over the weekend in protests not seen since the 1989 student-led pro-democracy movement created on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. Most protesters were angered over the restrictions that confine families to their homes for months. The policy has been criticized as neither scientific nor effective. Some of shouted for Xi to step down and give up his power.
Chinese President Xi Jinping waves at an event to introduce new members of the Politburo Standing Committee at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Oct. 23, 2022. Police in Shanghai used pepper spray to drive away demonstrators and dozens were detained in police sweeps and taken away in police vans and buses.Ryan Gaydos is the sports editor for Fox News Digital.
