In front of all cameras monitoring Beijing, a man dressed as a construction worker unfurled two banners on an overpass on Oct. 13, demanding an end to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) draconian zero-COVID policies and the removal of Xi Jinping as China’s top leader.
The man was later identified by China Change, which is an information platform on human rights, the rule of law, and civil society in China. Yaxue Cao, a China Change founder, posted on Twitter on Oct. 14 that the man is Peng Lifa, also known as Peng Zaizhou online.
Peng wrote on one of the banners: “We don’t want PCR tests; we want to eat. We don’t want lockdowns; we want freedom. We don’t want lies; we want dignity. We don’t want the ‘Cultural Revolution;’ we want reform. We don’t want a leader; we want votes. We don’t want to be slaves; we want to be citizens.”…
