Demonstrations have broken out across Chinese cities and university campuses, triggered by widespread anger at stringent COVID-19 restrictions imposed for almost three years and outrage over a deadly fire widely blamed on lockdowns.

“By night, they were joined by crowds of students who lit up their mobile phones and sang the national anthem with its lyric “Rise up, those who refuse to be slaves.” They chanted: “Ten thousand years to the people. May the dead rest in peace!”

Among other images circulating on social media, a young man standing in front of what looks like a Covid testing station, holds up a piece of paper saying: “Grievously commemorating Nov 24 fire victims.” Social media users say he was from the Northwest Political Science and Law University, but his identity could not be verified.
