CHINA-LEADERSHIP: PROTEST BANNER ON BRIDGE IN BEIJING CALLING FOR XI JINPING TO STEP DOWN

Protest banners appeared on Sitong Bridge in Beijing's Haidian District together with a column of dark smoke condemning Chinese leader Xi Jinping by name around1pm on October13. Video footage and photographs of the smoke and two banners—one of which had “Depose the Traitorous Dictator Xi Jinping” scrawled on it in red—circulated widely on Chinese socialmedia platforms Thursday. The banners read: "We Don’t Want Nucleic Acid Tests, We Want Food; We Want Freedom, Not Lockdowns". “We Want Votes, Not Leaders; We Want Dignity, Not Lies; We are Citizens, not Slaves". (Comment: The protest has occurred amidst heavy security and just two days before the 20th Party Congress opens in Beijing. Haidian is also the University District. Chinese chatter reveals the name of the protestor as Peng Zaizhou, an engineer.)
