The biggest protests in China since Tiananmen

This week, streets across China filled with angry protestors. Some held blank pieces of paper instead of signs, to protest censorship, others chanted ‘Down with Xi Jinping’. They’re the most significant protests China has seen for 30 years, according to analysts.

Today, Senior Lecturer in Journalism at the University of Melbourne, Louisa Lim on the protests igniting across China, despite the shadow of Tiananmen.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram.
