The fire in Urumqi makes people even angrier realizing exits were blocked

A few days ago, a fire broke out in a high-rise apartment building in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Due to the lockdown, people could not get out, resulting in serious casualties. However, officials denied reports that the exits were tied with iron wire, and said that the photos of the scene were maliciously edited, causing public outrage. On the evening of November 25, local people took to the streets to protest.
