Chinese seniors in Wuhan, where Covid-19 was first detected in 2019, protested over benefit cuts in a rare sign of confrontation with the authoritarian state. The demonstration is the latest sign of economic pain caused by China’s now abandoned “zero Covid” policy as elder care becomes a more acute issue.

A dirty nation that doesn't Obey Allah revieved it's punishment
Le material va nous faire perdre les ancetres chinois
Je sais pas commrnt bejin
They WERE the cultural revolution, lol
Have you clear any of that, or do you know any Chinese what they said? I said too much about that the low level media like you, just like to fabricate news. SB
The Republicans want to cut social security and Medicare and give more money to the rich.
This is Samuel Martinez franco I'm in Los angels and I'm The king of the universe
Reptilian are not showed in any news they have control of your governments but not the people we need transparency which means truth about these wars that happen and way they are not respecting a civilization that's not at their level in technology this acts are against the laws of the universe
The Chinese people should rise way up and remove the communist Government and install Democracy and allow all the people to vote.
Them and their parents allowed this since 1949. Nobody to blame but themselves!
Kinda like what's happening to US senior citizen's except they're found as puddles and bones a few weeks later from being dead for so long, talk to ER workers, you'd think these seniors would have family or friends?
Being Asian we are taught at a very young age to respect our elderly and take care of them when the get old and this is how the Chinese government is showing the whole world how they treats their elderly!!! Sad sad 😞
Trumpsters want to cut social security and Medicare! Same things goin to happen
ccp china Nothing but trouble
IT has mutated 🖍
What NBC won't report: protest on the OHIO EXPLOSION
Shameful .
Sad to see but many of these elders helped create what they are protesting. They forced their daughters to only have one child and the one child policy favored males. This was the culture and many people who violated these rules suffered. I am still sad for what is happening and hoping that they find a solution to it.
China's economic miracle is a mirage that's going to dissipate. Their problems are partially self-inflicted, with an aging population and not enough workers because of the disastrous and cruel "one child" policy.
害……
Government used up money for all population daily Covid test, draconian & pointless lockdown, vaccine, quarantine facilities, staff etc. At the end, it came back to people’s wallet. Healthcare benefits were cut half. CPC did it again.
POWER TO THE SENIORS!!! IT'S TIME TO CHANGE CHINA – YOUR PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF YOUR STUPID COMMUNISM — THEY WANT FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY AND YOU'RE STANDING IN THEIR WAY ✊✊✊✊ STAND UP FOR YOUR POWER CHINESE CITIZENS EVERYWHERE✊✊✊✊
Whoa
Investigate the truth of their protest rather than just pose a part of mess video to show the superficial phenomenon.There are always some bad media spread rumors to instigate innocent senior do protestation then propaganda fake news. Shame on hypocritical media
I bet they doing this to force there older pop to find jobs again cause they are declineing in pop each year and lots factorys need workers
This looks like a supper spreader covid event are they trying to spread it to all parts of china again as millions allready died this might be the start of the next wave
Send all the elderly Chinese people to India and Africa
That's what's going on in China. Do the stupid Republicans think cutting social security or Medicare will be any better
All these people will be jailed or disappeared soon by the CCP
We feel the same in America. So sad seeing the elders pinched and disrespected.
Any senior in any country should be cared for by either the family or country or both. These people worked their whole life supporting family and country. They should be respected and taken care of 100%.
Jesus coming soon 🔜
CCP running out of money to pay elder medical pension. That’s what you get for destroying small businesses with that dumb lockdown
Not afraid to protest. That's a positive sign.
The Chinese government will label this as China's "January 6th," and the Biden Administration, NBC, CNN, and The View will agree.
Wish americans had this kind of will to make a stand.
So pretty much they're all uninsured now?"
Unfortunately there will be more of this in the coming weeks/ months all over the country. China's birth rate is declining faster than they originally thought or claim, even more so than S. Korea and Japan.
It is no use speaking with hindsight or
feeling regret.
We Buddhist practitioners must come to
terms with reality and discover our own flaws
and shortcomings by reflecting on those of others;
Understand the workings of karma, and
emulate Bodhisattvas who fear causes, but
not sentient beings who fear consequences.
What are these seniors expecting? Chinese Medicaid?
Terrible.
Authoritarian governments crush decedents or protests regardless. They should be reminded of how Xi treated a high-ranking official on the floor when they walked him out. Xi has no regard for human lives.
