Episode 125: An Unprecedented Challenge to Xi Jinping

On November 28, thousands of people across China took to the streets to protest the country’s zero-COVID policies and censorship and to call for democracy. These demonstrations were an unprecedented show of dissent against the government in the era of Xi Jinping. How has the government responded to these uprisings, and how will they affect Beijing’s COVID strategy going forward?

To answer these questions, Heidi Holz and Josiah Case, analysts from CNA’s China Studies Program, join the podcast.
