Protests erupt after deadly China residential fine
Clips shared on social media in China appear to show new protests against Covid restrictions, following an apartment fire that killed 10 people.
Protesters were filmed confronting officials in the city of Urumqi and shouting “end the Covid blockade”.
Beijing continues to pursue its Covid-free policy, despite the record number of infections and growing public outrage.
Authorities have denied claims that the restrictions prevented people from escaping Thursday’s fire.
