Backlash over the White House’s China protest response

More and more citizens in China take to the streets to protest a repressive regime and its zero-Covid policy

Critics are torching the White House’s routine response to the ongoing widespread protests happening in China.

As the Chinese communist party continues with its hardline Covid lockdowns—Chinese citizens are rising up, venting their frustrations and demanding freedom.

Following these rare protests breaking out across China over the strict zero-Covid policy— the White House National Security Council Spokesperson released a statement saying again on Wednesday that, “everyone has the right to peacefully protest in the United States and around the world. This includes in the People’s Republic of China.”

Critic after critic after critic are calling out the administration for what they believe is a muted reaction labeling the response from the White House as “pathetic” and “cowardice.”

U.S. President Joe Biden has said absolutely nothing about this issue. Now, many including lawmakers are urging him to break his silence and voice support take a harder stance with China.

Many China experts say these protests are a real threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s rule prompting concern that he could call for and carry out a bloody or brutal crackdown much like 1989’s Tiananmen Square.
