Dozens of people in Hong Kong rallied in the city and emulated some of the protests erupting in China in opposition to the nation’s Covid Zero policy.
The people gathered in the city’s central business district at about 7:40 p.m. local time, with some holding blank pieces of paper — mimicking what many protesters have done in the mainland to protest the country’s strict anti-Covid measures. Others laid flowers on the ground to mourn the victims of a fire in Xinjiang.
