(Sharecast News) - Protests against the government's zero-Covid strategy are spreading from Shanghai to other Chinese cities such as Guangzhou, Wuhan and Xi'an. Videos of the protests on social media, including some showing clashes with police and people chanting anti-government slogans, were taken down. In Urumqi, most of the city had been under lockdown for over three months, although lockdowns were lifted in some neighbourhoods on Saturday. China reported 39,506 cases of Covid-9 on Sunday, a record level, but small when compared to the levels recorded at the height of the pandemic in the West. - The Sunday Times
