After protests/ China eases restrictions related to COVID

China has softened its tone about the danger posed by COVID-19 and is easing some restrictions even as the number of daily cases is near record highs.

This development follows protests that have swept the country, an expression of public anger, over the harsh restrictive measures linked to the pandemic.

Some cities, even as they are reporting new infections, are lifting restrictions and allowing businesses to reopen.

Health authorities announced the easing of measures but made no mention of the protests, which have ranged from peaceful gatherings in Beijing to clashes with police on the streets of Guangzhou.

Demonstratat ishin shfaqja më të madhe e mosbindjes civile që kur presidenti Xi Jinping mori pushtetin një dekadë më parë.

Pavarësisht numrit gati rekord të rasteve, zëvendës-kryeministri Sun Chunlan, i cili mbikëqyr përpjekjet kundër COVID-it, tha se aftësia e virusit për të shkaktuar sëmundje po dobësohej. Komentet e tij kanë dallim të madh nga mesazhet e mëparshme të bëra nga autoritetet në lidhje me virusin. Më pak se 24 orë nga protestat e dhunshme në Guangzhou, autoritetet në të paktën shtatë distrikte, njoftuan heqjen e bllokimeve. Në një distrikt madje zyrtarët njoftuan se do të lejonin mësimin në shkolla, rihapjen e restoranteve dhe bizneseve të tjera, përfshirë kinematë. Por megjithë ndryshimin e tonit lidhur me COVID-in si përgjigje ndaj pakënaqësisë së madhe publike, autoritetet po vazhdojnë të marrin në pyetje pjesëmarësit në demonstrata.

According to the China Dissent Monitor, run by the US government-funded Freedom House organization, at least 27 demonstrations took place across China from Saturday to Monday. While according to the ASPI center, a research institute based in Australia, 43 protests have been held in China in 22 cities of the country./ VOA
