Race against censorship

China Anti-Zero-Covid Protest In London Hundreds of demonstrators gather outside the China Embassy in London, United Kingdom, 27 November 2022, to mourn the deadly fire in Urumqi, a far west city in China, and demand the Chinese government to end zero-Covid policy by lifting all the lockdown restrictions.
