CHINA-TIBET: TENSION IN LHASA BECAUSE OF PROTESTS AGAINST ZEROCOVID RESTRICTIONS

There is tension in Lhasa because of protests on October 26-27 against the zero Covid restrictions. A lot of footage emerged on October 27 showing protests by Han Chinese workers, with Tibetans joining in apparently, who are frustrated at the ongoing Zero Covid measures in Tibet. A lot of the footage of these protests in Lhasa appears to feature Mandarin speaking workers who’ve come to Tibet from other parts of China. It seems they’ve been prevented from leaving because of the Zero Covid lockdown.
