China’s most prestigious university, Peking University in Beijing, saw a protest against its Covid containment maneuver. At midnight on May 15, students protested the erection of a temporary metal wall that keeps the students locked in and divides the off-campus dorms east and west like a Berlin Wall.
In video footage, the university vice president Chen Baojian is seen saying to the students, “If you trust me, write down your name, we’ll talk one by one.”
The students answered, “No, we don’t!”
