Protests Erupt in China Amid Economic Struggles
Recently, protests have begun to flare up across China, driven by discontent over unpaid wages and economic strife. Workers, particularly those in the construction sector, have become increasingly frustrated, with some threatening extreme measures if their back pay continues to be withheld. The discontent is not new, however; it stems from a series of ongoing economic failures attributed to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), compounded by issues such as the real-estate debt crisis and the impacts of the zero-Covid policies.
