Shanghai residents revolt over Zero Covid lockdown

Emergency supply points in Shanghai were looted last night by desperate residents as the city's lengthy, severe lockdown groans on.

Videos shared on, and swiftly deleted from, Chinese state-censored site Weibo shows crowds of Shanghai residents storming stores for undelivered food parcels. Shanghai has now spent more than three weeks in the toughest lockdown anywhere in the world since the start of the pandemic.
