The report pointed out that the protest was spontaneously carried out by several people from China who now live in the Bay Area of California.

Refuse to vote for Xi Jinping”, “Accountability for the epidemic!” and the English projection “Say No to Xi (Say No to Xi) No)” and so on.
Lu Yanzi, a young man from Wuhan who participated in the protest, said in an interview that the purpose of this event includes: expressing his firm opposition to Xi Jinping’s re-election; secondly, hoping to encourage the warriors in China who are actively fighting for democracy and human rights, “They are not lonely fighters In the land of freedom overseas, there are people walking side by side with them”; Finally, I hope that the deputies to the National Congress of China will make decisions that truly represent the people, vote carefully, and have a clear conscience.
The First Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the National People’s Congress will open on the 4th and 5th. The National People’s Congress will vote for the reelection of the Chinese government and produce a new Chinese President.
Lu Yanzi said, “We have come into contact with too many Chinese who have been dissatisfied with Xi Jinping for a long time but dare not speak out. We are willing to make this appeal, at least willing to speak out on behalf of the compatriots who dare not speak out.”
According to reports, the protest was provided by an unnamed young man who had participated in activities once morest the White Paper movement in the United States. Another protester, Ding Yi, who works in the technology industry in the Bay Area of California, said in an interview, “We don’t know what the effect will be, but we will continue to do it anyway, because at least in the circle we contact, there are many of friends expressed their support.”
Ding Yi said that he believed the protest was meaningful, “at least it represented some voices among the Chinese, and I believe it represented the voice of conscience”; during the projection activity, a window of the Chinese Consulate opened a gap, I also saw a figure appearing in the window. About half an hour later, the security guard of the consulate came forward and asked to stop the projection.
On the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in mid-October last year, a protester boarded the Sitong Bridge in Haidian District, Beijing, and hung up large banners, calling for an end to China’s strict “clearing” epidemic prevention policy and demanding that Xi Jinping step down; the four-way wall The huge banner hanging on the wall reads: “Don’t have nucleic acid, you need food, don’t block and control, you need freedom, don’t lie, you need dignity, don’t want Cultural Revolution, you need reform, you don’t need leaders, you want votes, you don’t need slaves, you need citizens.” There are also banners calling for the removal of Xi Jinping.
Inspired by the Stone Bridge protests, at the end of November last year, people held candlelight rallies in cities across China to commemorate the November 24 fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang, which killed 10 people. Times 0307
