11月29日在中華人民共和國駐紐約領事館前，參與者要求解除清零政策和改革領導層
Mayee Yeh, Deputy Managing Editor • December 1, 2022

在這個禮拜二，數百名聚集在中華人民共和國駐紐約領事館前抗議中國嚴謹的封控政策。抗議人數最高近一千人。對許多紐約大學的國際學生來說，中國嚴謹的新冠政策複雜化了返國程序，同時也嚴重影響這些學生家庭的生計。 依據以往政策，就算只是零星的確診數也需要實施整體靜默。封控政策倒置中小企業勒令停業、居民被鎖在家中長達數月、學校關閉實體教學課程。封控政策回持續到確診數清零，實施時間往往長達數月。在領事館的抗議者有四大訴求：允許公開悼念、結束清零政策、釋放維權同胞、保障人民權利。 「中國人已經活在共產黨清零政策的暴政之下三年了，」一張在抗議現場傳發的傳單上指出。「今天我們聚集在這悼念因為新冠打壓失去性命的同胞並要求中國政府負起責任！」 召集者請參與者攜帶蠟燭、看板和花束。許多抗議者帶了空白或寫著抗議字樣的看板。內容包括：「共產黨下台！」、「我想要回家」、「不能不明白」。參與者齊聲合唱了出自於音樂劇《悲慘人生》的《Do...

抗議者聚集華盛頓廣場，聲援中國國內歷史性抗議浪潮

兩百名抗議者表示達了中國新冠病毒防護措施的不满，加入了全球各地區抗議的行列。
Tori Morales, Deputy News Editor • November 29, 2022

當地時間11月27日星期日，紐約大學學生及當地居民聚集在華盛頓廣場公園抗議中國政府的新冠防疫政策。此次抗議聲援中國國內的抗議者們。他們在近幾天罕見地走上街頭悼念在烏魯木齊居民樓火災中喪生的10名同胞，並表達對防疫亂象的不滿。許多人質疑當地的封控措施延誤了消防部門的救援，因此導致了原本可以避免的傷亡。 星期日的抗議吸引了約200名參與者，其中有很多人都是中國公民。一名匿名的活動組織者表示此次罕見的抗議行動不僅是關於防疫措施：「這些年來針對人民的不人道管理措施終於到達了爆發點。我從沒想過我們有這樣反抗的能力。」 中國的「動態清零」政策所導致的嚴苛封控措施和負面經濟影響已經招致了國內外的不滿。根據事發時的政策，在發現陽性病例後，當地政府及社區必須進行封控措施，居民居家或集中隔離、商店停業、學校轉為網課。封控措施往往會持續幾週甚至數月，直到新增病例清零。 此次抗議與當地時間下午4:30開始，參與者圍繞LED蠟燭燈站成一圈，悼念在新疆居民樓火災的10名遇難者。隨著活動的進行，抗議人群從開始時的幾個人逐漸增多。他們有些人手持空白的A4紙，還有人用攜帶的音箱播放國歌《義勇軍進行曲》和《Do...

当地时间11月27日星期日，纽约大学学生及当地居民聚集在华盛顿广场公园抗议中国政府的新冠防疫政策。此次抗议也意在声援中国国内的抗议者们。他们在近几天罕见地走上街头悼念在乌鲁木齐居民楼火灾中丧生的10名同胞，并表达对防疫乱象的不满。许多人质疑当地的封控措施延误了消防部门的救援，因此导致了本可以避免的伤亡。 星期日的抗议吸引了约200名参与者，其中有很多人都是中国公民。一名匿名的活动组织者表示此次罕见的抗议行动不仅仅是关于防疫措施：“这些年来针对人民的非人道管理措施终于到达了爆发点。我从没想过我们有这样反抗的能力”。 中国的“动态清零”政策所导致的严苛封控措施和负面经济影响已经招致了国内外的不满。根据事发时的政策，在发现阳性病例后，当地政府及社区必须进行封控措施，居民居家或集中隔离、商铺停业、学校转为网络教学。封控措施往往会持续几周甚至数月，直到新增病例清零。 此次抗议与当地时间下午4:30开始，参与者围绕LED蜡烛灯站成一圈，悼念在新疆居民楼火灾的10名遇难者。随着活动的进行，抗议人群从开始时的几个人逐渐增多。他们有些人手持空白的A4纸，还有人用携带的音箱播放国歌《义勇军进行曲》和《Do...
