There have been more protests on the streets of Shanghai, as frustrations rise over China’s strict Zero Covid policy.

Demonstrations are also spreading to other cities following a deadly apartment fire in the far west of the country – with some linking the tragedy to the continued lockdowns.

Hundreds have taken to the streets in eight cities in China after the tragedy was blamed on Xi Jinping’s draconian zero-Covid lockdown.

From Beijing to Shanghai, the deaths have led to protests across China and police have descended onto the streets to keep order as tensions boil over.

Video on social media showed hundreds of workers marching on a road and confronted by riot police as well as people wearing hazmat suits.

The protest turned violent — footage shared with AFP and captured by a factory worker showed one person lying inert on the ground next to a man in a blood-spattered jacket having his head bound in an apparent effort to staunch a wound.

Established brands like Peugeot and Nissan are slashing prices by significant margins to compete with emerging Chinese EV competitors.

Facing a dual challenge of a decelerating growth in EV adoption and a surge in competitively priced alternatives from Chinese manufacturers like BYD and MG, traditional automakers are forced to enact substantial price cuts to clear inventory.

This trend reflects the fast pace within the market and signals the formidable struggle for dominance in the EV space. #featured #trending

The comments came after the Biden administration halted a recent shipment of bombs amid concerns over Israel’s plans to launch a full-scale assault on Rafah even as cease-fire talks continue with Hamas.
