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...
