Civil unrest is brewing. Lhasa has exploded into massive protests.

the mandatory epidemic lockdown. Many police arrived at the scene to maintain stability.

A video posted online shows that at noon on the 26th, people in Lhasa began to gather in protest,
with police arriving with shields and riot vehicles. Protesters gradually dispersed after
the person suspected of being in charge walked into the crowd. But in the evening, residents
rallied again on a larger scale to protest. From this video, one can hear people shouting
that a fight has broken out. Chinese people's anger is building up. In addition to this massive
protest, individual resistance is also emerging. In one video, an angry citizen smashes a brick
against the window of a police car, while another video shows a large truck was driven into two
police cars. People's resistance is not without effect. This video became popular on the internet
a day after the Communist Party Secretary of Inner Mongolia visited the University of Technology
and called for arrangements to be made for the students of the university to go home.
Resistance can help save. After these protests broke out, netizens commented, saying,
I heard it was chaos. I can't believe Lhasa tonight. October 26th can be this chaotic.
I can't believe this is the situation today. The Han Chinese are making a big fuss.
It's just that people are confronting the anti-epidemic workers collectively and making
legitimate requests to go home. I hope tonight's incident will lead to the orderly lifting of the
lockdown in Lhasa. There was only one end result of guarding people's hearts and controlling
people's bodies, boiling public discontent. Some people also said, Lhasa people are standing up.
When will people in Xinjiang stand up? Finally, Lhasa friends go. The dawn of victory is finally
seen on your own hands, but also pay attention to safety. Conversation blocked. It has been
restricted tonight. The post-management privileges are gone. Foxconn in Zhengzhou reported that 20,000
