Few guessed it then, but that banner - calling for an end to draconian zero-Covid policies and the removal of Xi as leader - was a warning of what was to come: An explosion of anger as three years of failing lockdowns became too much to bear.#Live #china #covid #lockdown #beijing #shanghai #covidlockdown #xi #xijinpingFull story: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11476739/China-protests-Years-anger-Xis-zero-Covid-policy-boils-over.htmlDaily Mail Website: https://www.dailymail.co.ukDaily Mail Facebook: https://facebook.com/dailymailDaily Mail IG: https://instagram.com/dailymailDaily Mail Snap: https://snapchat.com/discover/Daily-Ma...Daily Mail Twitter: https://twitter.com/MailOnlineDaily Mail Pinterest: https://pinterest.co.uk/dailymail Get the free Daily Mail mobile app: https://dailymail.co.uk/mobile
