White paper revolution

On November 24, 2022, after the fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang, the Chinese people launched a series of protests aimed at opposing the CCP’s zero-clearance policy and demanding freedom of speech. During these movements, people held up white papers to protest against the CCP’s deletion of posts and account bans and the deprivation of people’s freedom of speech. Many people were arrested by the police for holding white papers in protest. The White Paper Movement spread to many cities and universities in China. On the evening of November 26, 2022, Shanghai citizens protested on Urumqi Middle Road in Shanghai, calling for "the CCP to step down, Xi Jinping to step down." On the evening of November 27, 2022, a large number of Beijing citizens spontaneously went to Sitong Bridge to protest, supporting the warrior Peng Zaizhou, and chanted Peng Zaizhou’s slogan: “No nucleic acid, no food, no blockade, freedom, no lies, but dignity; no cultural revolution, reform, no leader.” Vote: Don’t be a slave, be a citizen.” On the same night, people also held spontaneous protests in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Nanjing, Tianjin and other cities. In addition, students from nearly a hundred universities, including Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, Nanjing University of Communication and the Central Academy of Fine Arts, launched protests. The aftermath of the protests also spread overseas. Chinese people and a large number of international students in dozens of cities around the world also held spontaneous protests in support of the domestic White Paper Movement. Currently, the keyword #白paper has been censored by Sina Weibo.
Beijing Sitong Bridge protest
On October 13, 2022, on the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, protest slogans suddenly appeared on an elevated Sitong Bridge on Beisanhuan West Road, Haidian District, Beijing. Two giant banners with red letters on a white background separated the "Sitong Bridge" "The blue sign hangs and unfolds. A longer and larger banner reads two lines of text: "No nucleic acid, but food, no blockade, freedom, no lies, dignity, no cultural revolution, reform, no leader, votes. Don't be a slave, be a citizen." Another short banner read anti-Xi content - "Go on strike to remove Xi Jinping, the dictatorial thief."
Later, the man holding the banner was arrested by the police. This incident quickly attracted public attention on the Chinese Internet, and the authorities reviewed the videos, pictures, and texts related to this incident. Various platforms have also listed words such as "Sitong Bridge", "bridge", "brave man" and "warrior" as sensitive words. Many netizens have had their accounts permanently deleted for forwarding relevant information.
Other videos and images documenting the scene were circulated.
On Chinese social media, a video purportedly showing a warrior holding a banner shot in a police car after being arrested by the police was also circulated.
According to another circulated video, there are currently many police officers on duty near Sitong Bridge to maintain stability.
The Sitong Bridge protest slogan incident in Beijing attracted widespread attention, and the censorship system responded quickly and blocked relevant content. In a previous article, China Digital Times editors tested and found that the main sensitive words in social networks include "Sitongqiao", "Haidian" and "Warrior". Since then, the scale of review has expanded rapidly, and the matching range of sensitive words has become even more blurred. At present, Weibo has set "Qiao", "Beijing" and "brave" as banned search words. Only blue V, that is, statements from institutions and media accounts are visible, which is extremely sensitive.
Previously, a large number of Weibo users paid tribute to "brave people". Weibo once banned searches for "brave people", but then more severely banned searches for "brave" to cover them.

Looking for Peng Zaizhou

Portrait of Sitong Bridge warrior Peng Zaizhou (real name Peng Lifa)
His original name is Peng Lifa, and Peng Zaizhou is his online name.
On the morning of October 13, 2022, a protester hung two long banners on the bustling Sitong Bridge in Beijing. One read: "No nucleic acid, but food! No blockade, freedom! No lies, dignity! No cultural revolution, reform! No leader, votes! Don't be a slave, be a citizen!" Another read: "Go on strike to remove the dictator Xi Jinping." .
Shortly after the incident, the protester's Twitter account was found. His online name was Peng Zaizhou, and his real name was Peng Lifa. He promoted the action on Twitter. The originally planned action time was October 16, when the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held.
In addition to publishing relevant propaganda on his own Twitter, he also left messages on the Twitter accounts of more than a dozen organizations or individuals, including China Digital Times, before his actions on October 13, hoping that these would be posted on Chinese Twitter Circle influential accounts to pay attention to the upcoming protests.
He left a message below China Digital Times @cdtchinese at 4 a.m. on the 13th:
Dear colleagues, we are about to take action. I hope you can forward it more, thank you!

October 16, 2022 National Mobilization for School Strikes National Mobilization for Strikes National Mobilization for Car Horn Protests National Mobilization for Military Uprising Let the dictator Xi Jinping know that on the road to pursuing freedom, there are men in China

Peng Lifa's action was obviously carefully planned.
He prepared the banners by handwriting them with paint rather than printing them, and he dressed up as a construction worker to hang the banners, minimizing detection by the police during the operation.
He lit objects to cause smoke to attract the attention of pedestrians and passing vehicles, and used a loudspeaker to play the core of his recorded demands against Xi Jinping.'
He did not make any preparations for his escape afterwards, but stayed at the protest site to gain maximum attention for his protest actions in the bustling area of the capital during the day, until the police who arrived quickly put him into a police car.
He also wrote a "Strategy for Strikes and School Strikes to Remove Xi Jinping."
Domestically, people who support Peng Lifa wrote slogans for Sitongqiao in public toilets and other unmonitored places to oppose authoritarianism and zero-clearance policies. There are also some people who spread relevant information and slogans to people around them through the AirDrop function of Apple phones in public places.

Echoes of courage: Two young people in Shanghai unfurl banners saluting Sitong Bridge protest
On the evening of October 23, 2022, two young people in Shanghai (informed sources said they were a man and a woman) held up a banner to pay tribute to the Sitong Bridge protest and marched along the road of Xiangyang North Road with several companions. Accompanying the two of them, filming and videotaping. Their protest attracted onlookers from passers-by.
There are a few simple words written on the white banner: "No, no, no, no, no, no," which is actually the abbreviation of the content of the Sitong Bridge protest in Beijing. If you are familiar with the content of the original banner, you can understand their expression.
If you don’t want nucleic acid, you want food; if you don’t want blockade, you want freedom; if you don’t want lies, you want dignity; if you don’t want the Cultural Revolution, you want reform; if you don’t want a leader, you want votes; if you don’t want a leader, you want votes; if you don’t want a slave, you want a citizen.
Their companions sang "The Internationale" loudly and played the accompaniment of the Internationale as they marched. During the parade, a man who was watching approached and said, "We've always wanted to do this."
It is not seen in the existing video whether the protesters were intervened by the police or whether they finally left the scene safely. On the morning of that day, the new members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee made a collective appearance, and Xi sent people to fully control the core of the CCP's power.

Chinese college students and overseas students launch a poster campaign to support Sitong Bridge warrior Peng Zaizhou
After the Sitongqiao protests in Beijing, Chinese college students and overseas students began to respond to the Sitongqiao incident in the form of posters on the bulletin boards of their schools or where they live. This group of student activists continues to create "echoes."
According to Citizen Daily CN statistics, as of October 23, 2022, students from 328 universities around the world have posted nearly 1,500 posters in support of the Sitong Bridge protests in Beijing (Citizen Daily, 2022). Students in London, Toronto, New York, and Berlin also organized offline gatherings to protest. Students in Xi'an, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and other Chinese cities also held private poster protests.
The outside world regards the poster campaign as a prelude to the "White Paper Movement" after the Urumqi fire.
Urumqi fire
On the evening of November 24, 2022, a fire broke out in a high-rise residential building in Jixiangyuan Community in Tianshan District, Urumqi, Xinjiang, which had been closed for nearly four months. The fire lasted for nearly three hours.
According to the situation report released by the Chinese Communist Party’s official media CCTV, the fire was suspected to have been caused by a fire in a power strip, which ultimately resulted in 10 deaths and 9 injuries.
However, some circulating videos show that after the fire truck arrived at the community, it was trapped by the epidemic prevention and control fence and was unable to enter the scene. It could only spray water on the fire from a distance outside the community, but it was too far away to spray water.
Videos shot by residents of the community showed that the passage door in the building was locked, preventing them from escaping.
After the incident attracted widespread attention, the authorities issued news of the first-instance verdict of actor Wu Yifan. News about the fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang was quickly flooded on Sina Weibo, and topics related to Wu Yifan dominated the hot searches.
The next day, Urumqi citizens took to the streets to demand that the government lift the lockdown. After that, people in Shanghai first took to the streets and gathered on Urumqi Middle Road for mourning activities. Citizen groups in major cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Wuhan also took to the streets to publicly protest. Many people shouted out that Peng Lifa had been in the Fourth Slogans hanging on the bridge.
This fire became the trigger for the White Paper Movement.
Protest in Liangmaqiao, Beijing
On the evening of November 27, some Beijing citizens gathered near Liangma Bridge to express their protest to the Chinese Communist authorities. In a video, citizens chanted the slogan of the Sitong Bridge protest in Beijing: "No nucleic acid, want freedom." These citizens held up white papers while passing vehicles honked their horns in support.
In another video, people gathered shouted: "Shanghai come on, Shanghai releases people," in support of the protests on Urumqi Middle Road in Shanghai.
There are also videos showing that some citizens spontaneously stood up and gave speeches. Among them, a man wearing a black mask said: "I just received news that among our people, there are overseas anti-China forces around us." His words aroused the anger of the gathered crowd. One citizen responded to him: "Are the foreign forces you are talking about Marx and Engels?" Another citizen asked: "Is the fire in Xinjiang started by foreign forces? Excuse me. Were the buses in Guizhou overthrown by foreign forces?" Another citizen said: "We can't even access the Internet from abroad, so where did we get the foreign forces? We only have domestic forces that won't let us gather!"
Subsequently, the police arrived at the Liangma Bridge site and dispersed the protesting crowd.
Afterwards, Beijing authorities carried out mass arrests of people participating in the Liangmaqiao protests.
Protest on Urumqi Middle Road in Shanghai
From the late night of November 26 to the early morning of November 27, 2022, people in Shanghai gathered on Urumqi Middle Road to protest, demanding an end to the "dynamic clearing" policy and the end of the Chinese Communist Party's ruling status.
Some people lit white candles under the "Urumqi Middle Road" road sign to commemorate the victims of the Urumqi fire. Some people shouted "Unblock Xinjiang!" and "The Communist Party steps down! Xi Jinping steps down!".
Some people chanted "No nucleic acid, want freedom" in response to the slogan of the Sitong Bridge protest in Beijing. Some people also shouted slogans such as "Give me freedom or give me death."
Protesters passed and held blank sheets of paper to protest against the blockade of speech.
At around 4 a.m., police surrounded the north and south entrances of Urumqi Road and the west section of Anfu Road, asking people to leave. After the people refused, a stalemate broke out between the police and the people. The police then began to clear the area and arrested many people. Afterwards, some Shanghai citizens gathered in front of the police station, demanding the release of the protesters arrested last night. Some netizens commented: "Yesterday you spoke for me, today we are here to save you!"

Protests in major universities[3]
According to statistics, there have been protests in at least 21 provinces in China.
At the same time, according to statistics from netizens, students from more than 50 colleges and universities in China held protests. During these protests, students held up blank sheets of paper to mock the CCP for "deleting posts, blocking accounts" and depriving people of their freedom of speech. However, what is even more ironic is that many people were arrested by the police for holding white papers in protest.
Nanjing University of Communication
On November 26, 2022, two students from Nanjing University of Communication stood on campus until dark holding white paper in their hands, suspected of expressing dissatisfaction with the authorities' censorship of information related to the Urumqi fire and strict epidemic prevention and control policies.
A large number of students gathered to support the two students. Some videos showed that students lit up the scene with mobile phone lights, sang the national anthem in unison, and shouted: "Long live the people, rest in peace for the dead", and some students gave speeches.
Later, school teachers and leaders rushed to the scene. One teacher educated the students: "You are very interesting. You don't understand many things about the country at all..."
But he was interrupted by students, and a boy outside the screen shouted: "You understand so well, are you the 27 people on the Guizhou bus?"
Cao Guosheng, the school's executive principal, said at the scene: "As long as everyone leaves now, today's incident will not happen, and no one will care about it."
In another video, a school leader directly threatened the gathered students: "You will one day pay for what you have done today!"
In addition to Nanjing University of Communication, students from Chinese universities such as Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, Sichuan International Studies University, Xi'an International Studies University, Fudan University, etc. are also protesting in various ways.
Students from Nanjing University of Communication produced a song called "If You Don't Want to Walk in Front" in support of the protests. The composer of this song is signed as "Another Blank Paper" and the singer is "Every Blank Paper".
The lyrics are as follows:
If you don't want to go in front, please follow the team

If you don’t want to follow the team, please visit the country on the roadside.

If you don’t want to watch on the roadside, please shout online

If you don’t want to shout online, please close your eyes silently

Sit back and enjoy the rights we fought for you

But don’t turn a blind eye, let alone be sarcastic.

Because the sunshine I fought for belongs to both me and you

Tsinghua University
On November 27, 2022, at the entrance of the Bauhinia Garden Restaurant of Tsinghua University, a female student stood holding a white paper.
Immediately afterwards, other students took out white papers and stood.
Many students gathered together, sang the national anthem, the international anthem, and shouted: "Democracy, legal system, freedom of expression."
In another live video, a female student spoke: "If we are afraid of being arrested, we dare not speak out, I think our people will be disappointed in us, and as a student of Tsinghua University, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
Another female student shouted loudly: "From today on, no more oral sex for public authority!"
Videos showed that students at Peking University also spontaneously gathered to protest and confronted personnel from the school security office.

Wuhan University
On the evening of December 4, 2022, some students from Wuhan University gathered in front of the school administration building to protest, demanding consultations on school closure management, offline teaching and other issues. Some students shouted: "The process should be open and the information transparent."
According to Twitter user @李师NotYour Teacher, the reason for the students’ protest is that other universities in Hubei have successively arranged for students to return home, but there has been no news from Wuhan University. If a student on campus is infected with the new crown, the school is preparing to force Resume offline teaching. At the same time, shops in the school are closed and transportation is inconvenient, which affects the daily life of students. Some students posted distress messages on social platforms such as Weibo, but they were also censored and deleted.
At around 5 p.m. that day, Wuhan University issued an announcement stating that students were allowed to voluntarily return to their hometowns, but at the same time it resumed offline exams and the exam time was to be determined. Students were restricted by their scores and could not really return to their hometowns. So students gathered to protest.
Finally, Wuhan University issued an announcement allowing voluntary return to hometowns and providing online and offline exams and classes, and said it would not hold any students accountable.

Medical schools in various places
On December 10, 2022, a video showed that students from Chongqing Medical University gathered to protest at the gate of the school, demanding that "the students' reasonable demands be taken seriously."
A flyer with "Students' Reasonable Demands" reads:

1. Chongqing Medical University ignored the 20 Articles and the New 10 Articles of the Party and the State on epidemic prevention and control, implemented a one-size-fits-all lazy policy, and closed the school for a long time. In the latest document released by Chongqing Medical University on December 9, 2022, the school still ignores students’ demands and continues to strictly manage the gates and does not allow students to enter or exit the school.
2. The management policy is unreasonable and does not comply with the requirements of optimizing campus management promulgated by the state. The campus is enfeoffed, and faculty, staff and family members can enter and exit freely. Students with a clinical master's degree can come and go freely, while students doing experiments on campus are not allowed to come in and out. However, the dormitories are not divided into professional residences. Students who are clinical and experimental students live together, and the risk of infection is the same.
3. Ignore the mental health of students. Since the beginning of the school year, the school has been under closed management for a long time. It is difficult for students to go out to ask for leave. The school requires that whoever approves is responsible. As a result, teachers are afraid to grant leave. Students cannot go out for a long time and cannot meet normal requirements. Daily needs.
4. On-campus life support is insufficient, there is no supermarket, and express delivery is not opened. Express delivery is still not allowed to enter the school normally, causing trouble to students' lives. At the same time, the school's only canteen that can provide daily necessities is driving up prices, and the prices are higher than the world's policy prices. .
   After the students protested, the vice president of the school came forward and stated that all students could come and go freely and express delivery would be resumed.
   However, the school issued another notice the next day and still implemented the measure of "asking for leave to leave school". Students continue to protest. Subsequently, the president of the school stated that he would not hold the protesting students accountable, but that when they returned home, they would need to communicate with the hospital where the students were working, and held an online meeting to require medical students interns in the hospital to return to work.
   On December 12, students from Sichuan North Medical College in Nanchong City, Sichuan also held a spontaneous protest. Undergraduate students demanded voluntary return to their hometowns, while masters with medical professional degrees proposed "equal pay for equal work."
   According to reports from students at the school, the school leaders finally signed the relevant documents at the request of the protesting students.
   In another video, some professional master's degree students from Nanjing Medical University gathered outside Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital to protest, demanding fair treatment.
   However, Nanjing Medical University and Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital did not give in.
   At Xuzhou Medical University, some professional master's degree students also gathered to protest, demanding equal pay for equal work. According to students at the school, after the promulgation of the new ten measures, the number of people infected with the new coronavirus has increased exponentially, but the hospital only provides masks to its employees and does not provide masks to graduate students and regular trainees. At the same time, students’ monthly salary is 1,300 yuan. If they are quarantined due to infection, an additional 100 yuan/day will be deducted.
   At the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, masters with professional degrees also gathered to protest, demanding equal pay for equal work. During the protest, several teachers restrained a graduate student and snatched his cell phone.
   On December 13, a professional master's degree student at the West China Medical School of Sichuan University suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest after working for several days despite having continuous fevers. On Sina Weibo, the topic #华西潇一 Student Died Suddenly on the Job# became a hot search topic.
   On December 14, West China Hospital of Sichuan University issued a notice stating that the student did not die suddenly and was still being rescued.

Overseas Chinese and international students protest[4]

Rally in Melbourne, Australia
Inspired by the courage of the people at home, Chinese people around the world have established online democracy walls, shared protest posters in their cities on Instagram accounts such as Citizens Daily CN, and organized and called for demonstrations. Progressive groups of overseas students and pan-democrats organized solidarity rallies in the city centers of major cities around the world, outside Chinese embassies and consulates, and in universities, spreading the influence of the "White Paper Movement" to the world. Rarely large rallies have broken out in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles in the United States, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal in Canada, Berlin in Germany, London, Glasgow in the United Kingdom, Tokyo in Japan, and Taiwan. It is reported that Chinese people in at least 16 countries have organized commemorations and demonstrations, and "demanded that the Chinese Communist Party" step down in multiple activities.
Most of the participants in these rallies are young international students and Chinese immigrants who grew up in mainland China. They have greatly expanded and enriched the demands of the White Paper Movement. In addition to the resignation of Xi Jinping, the resignation of the Communist Party, democracy and freedom, police release and mourning for the victims of the Urumqi fire, overseas progressive communities also called for international connections with Iranians and Ukrainians. Their attention to marginalized groups has led to more voices on Uighurs, Tibetans, Taiwan, Hong Kong, LGBTQ, women's rights, and labor issues appearing in the demonstrations.
This rare political protest movement, the largest since June 4th, attracted the attention of Xi Jinping, the top leader of the Communist Party of China. According to reports, Xi Jinping said during his meeting with European Council President Charles Michel that he believed that the recent demonstrations in China stemmed from people's frustration during the three-year fight against the epidemic, and that the main body of the demonstrations were young school students. As for its own people, the Chinese government has never responded positively to protests. On the one hand, the authorities secretly tracked down and arrested young people who participated in the White Paper Movement. On the one hand, it quickly canceled the zero-clearance policy to relieve its governance crisis.
