  1. That's so sad. China was always like that. Bcs of communist party and president. I love Chinese people. I hope they can defeat it. Respect and love from 🇹🇷❤️ To Chinese people🇨🇳 and Uyghur Turkish🇹🇷💙

  2. The World hope, Asia and US will collectively help third world country such as China 🇨🇳 in their loosing battle against own epidemic 🙏

  3. Schizophrenia, double standards, and hypocrisy in full display when western leaders talk about protests. These 2 versions are given by the same leader. Version1 (about protests in China) – "Everyone in China should be allowed to protest. We will continue to ensure that China knows we will stand for human rights and with people who are expressing themselves". Version2 (about protests in his own country)- "If you join the protest because you're tired of covid, you now need to understand you are breaking the law'.

    Guess who is this western leader?

  4. It's happening in America too, we are just quieter about it. Where is NBC's stories about everything coming out of twitter? Time to change their initials to CPP.

  5. If the people get so angry many of will vaccine their country

  6. Where is Bidens support for these chinese protesters the way he praises the Iranian protesters ? He must have too many business interests China !

  7. When one combines this with the evidence found in the US biolabs in Ukraine, China has reason to be very concerned.

    Jeffery Sachs, the head of the Lancet investigation committee into the origin of Covid, voice his conviction that Covid19 was the result of the US bio industry, which has lied endlessly about its origins & involvement from day one, you start to understand China.

    A must must listen interview with Jeffery Sachs from your good friend Max Blumenthal.

    Jeffrey Sachs:

  8. This is a message to all of America's enemies. It is time for you to help create a black supremacist empire to unite all of Africa. It is the best way to end the US. Good luck.

  9. well well, NBC suddenly in favor of corona protesters. how times are changing or countries…

  10. Oh it’s rare and the protest are dwindling. Ok, make it sound as useless as possible mainstream media

  11. There are some people in this comment section who support the Chinese citizens revolting against these lockdowns, but are also the same people who supported the lockdowns in North American and European countries. You people and your hypocrisy disgust me

  12. Did [C] Xi gas protesters for a photo op? Did [F] China shoot protesters like Rittenwho did?

    Does [G7] 1.1 million US Covid deaths seem [C] worth it? (Does it seem [G7] worth it?)

    [F] USA one million, one hundred, six thousand, three hundred and [C] seventy eight (yeah seventy eight) [USA 1,106,378]

    [G7] China five thousand, two hundred, twenty [C] three (yeah [F] twenty [C] three). [China 5,223]

  13. CHINA'S ECONOMY HAS COLLAPSED GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANK NOW!!!

  14. GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF THA BANK THEY WILL TAKE ALL OF IT

  15. Notice it's ALWAYS the police stopping the WHOLE WORLD from a better future. Police are the REAL problem. We saw the same from police in United States, Russia, France, Canada, Australia, Iran etc. Police have PROVEN they are the evil of this planet.

    On one side you have people wanting freedom and Rights. On the other you have police doing everything to crush and abuse them. What does that say about police? THEY are the evil of this world.

  16. I hope they don’t stop Russia and China are struggling hard rn a little more and they can be free from the things they are protesting against …

  17. A gaggle of dems from the US are thinking “these guys know how to get things done”

  18. Why you lie about China? Hello how are you my name is Bob Johnson I am from Texas my favorite foods are hot dog and bbq ribs. Why our American government tell lie with this fake clip. When we have soo many problems in our American country. Why only China China China? See our American lie so long no good. What about Black Lives Matter protests? What about Occupy Wall Street protests? What your abortion protests? What about your students walking out of schools protesting gun control? What about your railroad train workers protesting right now? See our American media lies! Why not our American media report our protests no?

  19. Communist thugs: “Thank you Mr Tim Cook! Thank you Apple!!!!”

  20. COVID IS REAL. I STILL WEAR A MASK. CUT DOWN ON CROWDED PLACES TODAY IS AIDS day. Imagine how it would have decimated the world

  21. My favorite is all the liberals who support this. Y’all didn’t support it when we did but now you’re all anti lockdowns? 🤦‍♂️

  22. China has the least deaths. They did have a surge. Racist Americans think you can stop a sinking ship by speeding up. Not caulking the
    Leak

  23. this is what nbc and the demorats want for us , a one party rule where if you speak you get killed, silenced , or in prison

  24. Dont think this is about protecting people from germs…..

  25. Fauci agrees with China. Liberals POs

  26. It makes you wonder how long we will be willing to bow before the the thought of give me liberty or give me death motivates us all to take action and make this world a better place for our future children?

  27. Good luck coming to America or Europe. Woke Students LOVE RUSSIA AND CHINA

  28. If lockdown works, why does China still have Covid?

  29. Chinese listen! These Police are your neighbors! Make sure they feel unwelcome and their commanders home burns down

  30. This is what communism do to its people. Y’all want this? Keeping praising Marxism and socialism then!

  31. Democrats news media, telling half truth as we know during these years.

  32. I don't feel sorry for them at all. For generations they have allowed themselves to be "Oppressed" by the Communist Party since the birth of Communism. Innocent People executed over Garbage Charges. And every Year They eat anything during there Chinese New Year from Cats and Dogs to Alligators and Vampire Bats. And the communist Party of China did everything to hide what they knew about Covid not alerting the World or locking down there borders causing a Global Pandemic. And the Chinese People allowed the Chinese Government to lock them in there homes and apartments like Prisoners by Boarding up the Doors and Windows and slaughtering The Chinese Peoples Cats and Dogs to stop the Spread of Covid. And it is Obvious the Communist Chinese Covid Vaccine is a Placebo because they keep having Covid Repeats worse then the rest of the World. China, North Korea, and Russia are the last of the Dying Communist Remnant!

  33. I wish I could say come to Canada with welfare office for babies

  34. dont come here. we dont want no communists

  35. dont care the USA has it own problems the people have to deal with cuz the cheater who sniffs lil kids dooesnt do anything

  36. Remember when you the media called people in the west terrorist because we protested? Funny how you give Chinese people a good light in the same situation. What about the Canadian trucker protest? You said those were actual terrorist and whites supremacist. You the news and all media outlets are such frauds.

  37. Look like Western Media all become very happy now!!!!
