China posts another record high Covid-19 infections after a weekend of protests across the country over restrictive coronavirus curbs
Stocks and oil slid sharply on Monday as the rare protests raised worries about the management of China's zero-Covid policy.
Mega-cities like Guangzhou and Chongqing, with thousands of cases, are struggling to contain outbreaks while hundreds of infections were recorded in several cities across the country on Sunday. The deadly fire fuelled speculation that Covid curbs in the city, parts of which had been under lockdown for 100 days, had hindered rescue and escape, which city officials denied.
In the early hours of Monday, one group chanted "we don’t want Covid tests, we want freedom" while brandishing blank white pieces of paper, which have become a symbol of protest in China in recent days. An official who said he was the head of Beijing's police department came personally to speak to several of the protesters, holding a loudspeaker to plead with them to go home.
