Over the last few days, there have been anti-government protests in China as anger over the country's strict zero-COVID measures boiled over into defiance against the Chinese government's rule.
Since the beginning of the Pandemic, the Chinese government has maintained strict policies to contain the spread of the virus, but recent cases have increased.
People are speaking out against the measures despite the increase in cases. Workers fought with security guards at one factory.
Ten people were killed in a fire at an apartment building in the western region of China. People say the strict COVID measures kept them from fleeing the burning building.
Since the fire, mass protests, which are rare in China, have spread to cities across the country as people express their anger over the tragedy in Uygur and their frustration with the government.
Protesters have held blank sheets of paper above their heads in defiance of their call for the removal of the Communist Party's power.
Photographs show the scale of the demonstrations, which are still the largest since 1989.
