Inside China’s Covid protests

The Chinese government introduced its ‘zero-Covid’ policy back in 2019 when the virus was first detected. So why are protesters choosing to demonstrate against it almost three years later?

We’re joined by author and Senior Fellow for East Asia at the Lowy Institute Richard McGregor, to discuss the ‘White Paper protests’ and how the Chinese authorities are attempting to mute them.

In this episode of the Briefing we explore how protestors in China are using creative methods to stand up against the country’s strict Covid measures.

Headlines:

- Socceroos WIN!! Australia through to Round of 16
- Former PM Morrison censured by Parliament
- First day of summer after miserable spring
- Inflation decline potentially good news for interest rates
