Funny, how you never reported all the other massive lockdown protests around the world a year or so ago…
This oppression is coming for me and you. Social credit is being built brick by brick. Now Musk is talking about turning the Twitterhole into wechat
Wow, what a wasteland these comments are…
The fruit of decades of propaganda
F chin A
Mirror?
@nude_cat_ellie your going to he’ll in a hand basket, yea that’s it.
I hope democrats double gas prices and shut all of your businesses down again lol
@Billy Bob You are an indoctrinated Fox News 🐑
@Billy Bob But then again, we knew that from your name “Billy Bob” 😂
@Idiots In Cars thanks for proving your own idiocy.
@Billy Bob Billy bob ! 😂😂😂
@Idiots In Cars Billy Bob Republicans!!! Swilling Mountain Dew and smoking a Marlboro.
Oh so now it’s called bravery. The media is scum.
Protest happen in America about high rent, high food, homelessness and no media coverage, protest in China and every camera in America is watching, double standards. America needs to fix its own problems of high rents and mortgages, gross high prices by capitalist company greedy CEOs milking every American for every penny they have from gas to food to medicine to shelter etc., before it points the finger elsewhere.
The God China attacks will see there biggest nightmare come true
Haven’t seen soo many domestic terrorists in China. Obviously they don’t care about their own peoples saftey.
Remember when NBC supported the American government locking down and forcibly vaccinating it’s own citizens with an “experimental” vaccine?
Pepperidge Farm remembers. 😂😂😂
Good! Cracks in China’s fascist regime are a hopeful sign. The Chinese people deserve better.
This is not the same as 1989. The loyalty to the communist regime for the general population is nowhere near as high as back then. Everyone is on tiktok, social media, and they just can’t censor fast enough. Shutting down those sites will immediately raise everyone’s alert while they are trying to suppress these protests. There is no way the CCP can win this, this one is going to end with a boom in some way.
If you’re still voting Democrat you truly are beyond help
no the Americans (in this case republicans) were demanding their own personal right to breathe on others and their GOD given right to eat at Applebees. Not locked in a burning building protesting dictatorship. Wearing mask btw (another thing Americans refused without being burned to death) Y’all are looking more stupid now comparing this. And trying to see the Applebees republican protest in the same light. Y’all a joke. Rapture 2023. 👽👑
If your still voting
I get your connection, the policy of locking people down was similar and strictly a democrat act. But we did still vote democrat in large part so I guess we have not suffered enough yet. In China they protest as their only recourse, but here we should always vote. I get it.
@Real Talk if you haven’t voted yet hang it up. New sheriff in town. Make sure your conscious is good in this election cycle. 👽👑💯
@Write of Passage I am sure there is some voting going on somewhere. Or counting or waiting to certify. I will work on my conscience. Thank you.
But the tv said that only far right racists were against covid lockdowns, how is this possible?
Well according to Bill Gates and according to the WEF, “ During the pandemic China did everything right and every country should’ve followed suit” When will you learn it’s not about your betterment it’s about complete control. You really should open your eyes when a bunch of Eugenicist get together and start promoting something you probably shouldn’t put it inside your body. China boost the highest population % for 💉 compliance yet they are still in lock down.
So now you hypocrites are against lockdowns..
no the Americans were demanding their own personal right to breathe on others. Not locked in a burning building. Y’all are looking more stupid now comparing this.
I’m willing to bet that just last year you would be doing everything in your power to smear these people as idiots and murderers and telling them they should just comply for all our safety.
@smokingjoe9864 hahahahahaha!!! So you don’t know what a law is, or how it’s passed…. dude, I already know you’re a democrat, you don’t need to keep proving it. Of those republican governors who fell for the power grab, how many kept it??? You should also look up what denocrats tried desperately to keep emergency power, and tried doing exactly what china did….. oof!
@smokingjoe9864 yea, sure thats why CA, IL, NY, and DC have had a mass exedus through this…. hahahahahahaha!!! Keep swinging kid, you might get something right!!!
@Billy Bob rich democrats go to third world republican states and like like kings.
@Billy Bob I got vaccines all my life, who cares. If the government says you need a vaccine to work, just like a testing for drugs, follow the rules, or don’t work. Trump started it, we will finish it. Get your shot or get locked up for life! No different than Republicans with drugs. Lock em up its the law. Throw away the key.
@smokingjoe9864 hahahahahaha!!!! It’s so cute when you victims of public education try to throw shade on places you’ve never been. I’ve seen the third world in every first-world country I’ve visited, and they all look like Cali, Washington, Chicago, NY, and DC…… I know you think urban equals “first-world” but that just proves your ignorance.
I must CIA is no joke
say*
This is what democrats do but in a different way or they force you to wear dumb mask ?
F chin A dorks
You silly twats ignored all the protests going on in the western world…. weird.
China has 2.5 years of REAL lockdowns. In the US people got the day off from work. Big difference. The US was never ordered to stay indoors. We could roam about. Grocery stores and home improvement stores never closed. Selfish, spoiled Americans cried about having to wear a mask and get a vaccine while getting a free paycheck while hospitals were filling up with dying people. There was never a real lockdown in the US.
Not yet. They are ordinary young students are demanding freedom over lockdown. Zero Tolerance policy has gotten political spin and ppl are stressed. Anti Covid statistics vs personal freedom, interests of nation vs individuals. No winner
No one wants to live under totalitarian dictatorship. No one!
Covid, like communism, is complete B.S. Never vite for left wing politicians or left wing policies.
The corporate media loves Chinese authoritarianism. It’s interesting to see a one-off clip like this.
The Chinese people are under extreme oppressive control. They can’t take it anymore. No one wants to live under a totalitarian dictatorship.
Hate to like anything from msnbc. But power to the people of China. Screw the governments ALL OF THEM! OH and Pfizer screw them too!
Listening to these comments confirms that CNBC is simply waste listeners time. Full of nonsense.
What do you mean?
Good for them fighting for freedom
It’s not about Covid, it’s about control. It’s not sudden. They live under extreme oppression and have been living this way. No one there wants to live under that government, no one. It’s just their voices are silenced.
China is allowing this to be showed for a reason.
Exactly
Maybe they want us to see what’s going on, so we think they have alot going on, than bam they attact the US. Never know, strange things happen🤮
Media won’t cover economic protests in Europe, though. 🧐
Whts going on in Europe?
@Mojo-Jojo
That’s the problem. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to protest, and…{crickets}
Out of control inflation. Fuel scarcity and junk green policy. Food scarcity. Money for proxy war but not for the taxpaying citizens themselves.
Or Venezuela.
Who cares about what happens with the Chinese people ?!?!
My deepest respect to the bravest people in China who fight for freedom and basic human rights !Praying for their safety ❤❤
Screw the doors shut.
Don’t ignite a fire 🔥 that kills millions of innocent people! If you can’t say positive please shut your mouth 🤫!
They will see no support weather thru words or more from fellow tyrants Biden Trudeau or the pusses from the EU
They don’t understand Chinese culture, there were drones in the street “detecting” people still protesting, and the CCP will use footage to identify-find the relatives of- and threaten protesters livelihood.
Fauci for PRISON
✊
Democrats make everything into mess but they still spend huge money to make riots in other countries. What they did on China will get 10 times revenge. And all the CIA spies were exposed. Their good days are coming. And the democrats will receive those dead bodies as this year’s chrismas gifts.
Nobody has any spine anymore. They switch up at the drop of a hat. What happened to sticking with your principles?? Whatever they may be. Cuz the media was shitting on protesters and anti vaccine ppl for months if not years. Now all of a sudden you commend the breadth they are showing?? Come on.
it amazes me that the same people cheering the chinese protests were advocating for them is the states just last year
These aren’t anti-lockdown protests. They’re yelling no CCP and down with Xi Jinping
Only in America are Americans rebellious when standing up for their rights. Ridiculous this world needs Jesus
What about Myanmar / Burma ?!
It’s because the industrial mafia is in control the Chinese Communist party and right now. The industrialist is starting to hurt financially. They are afraid that they could continue lose money if they don’t crack down on the people.
China is a picture of what America would look like today if Clinton had won in 2016 and Fraudci and his ilk got their way. What is truly amazing is to hear some of the exact same assclowns that cut unvaccinated friends and family members out of their lives cheer on the Chinese citizens whom 2 years ago they would have called anti-vax, science deniers. Anyone else wonder what happened to the impending Monkeypox pandemic? Where did it go?
You folks would smear anyone in the west for protesting lockdowns, and you did!
MSNBC= Flavor of the day news and reporting!
Sooooo in US antivaxxers are almost nazis and in China those are “Freedom loving people” … journo-prostitutes are disgusting
*yawn* Let me know when the Chinese actually have the balls to actually stand up to tyranny, rather than just shaking fists
Data? I’m NOT anti science; i am however, anti stupid.
Anyone with two neurons knows this covid poppycock is a ruse. Stay strong people.
I think the videos are being leaked on purpose by dudes fed up in government
Why is the west and Americans cheering this on ? This is the equivalent of anti vax protesters in America . You guys are cheering for the Chinese version of trump supporters lol
Chinese are so much smarter than Trump supporters. Don’t make me laugh.
Minus the weird “wielding” in their apartments by the CCP this is what the liberal democrats and the news wanted to do to us. DeSantis set us free and the news called him “ deathsantis”. It made sense to be cautious at the first, but then they got weird and fired people for not getting vaccinated that did not do what they said they would do. Thank God for the wisdom of our founders who gave us a federalist system where states could give us perspective. In some ways the democrats and Biden are like the CCP when it came to Covid-19.
If that would have happened here in America, MSM would have painted all of the people in the protest to be killers for not locking down.
Overthrow the oppressors.
The media will literally move away from this in like a week.
This is so strange. Why aren’t they condemning those Republicans for ignoring the science and public safety? For the risk to the population they pose.
Not long ago these very people were saying anyone here doing this were evil. A danger to society. Even praising China for doing this and wishing they could do the extreme violence against lockdown protests here. They did lie about them. But wished for stringer Soviet style measures.
Thinking people might wonder at the apparent hypocrisy.
NOTHING HAPPENED IN TIANANMEN SQUARE IN 2022
This is OPPRESSION. SHAME ON CHINA!!! THANK GOD WE BEAR ARMS IN 🇺🇲
There are several YouTubers who keep an eye on China that are always a few days ahead of mainstream media. I’ve been seeing these reports for days. Nice to see you guys finally getting on the ball.
@SirPanic12 Serpentza is a guy who got on YT to say that Chinese women are easy. Please don’t state that he’s a great source of info on the courtry. There are several sources of relevant discourse and they don’t usually exist on social media platforms like YouTube.
Can you please elaborate? What are some of those sources?
@TyTIMETV I already did that, read the replies
@Michael B It must have not tagged properly, I was speaking to the post above my reply. Someone cited a specific YouTuber was an unreliable source and mentioned there were plenty others, so I wanted to know their sources out of curiosity.
@TyTIMETV I find the ones I listed as reliable because they essentially report the same thing even though they don’t collaborate and it appears on CNN a day or two later. They’re just faster because of personal connections. Check them out, make your own decision, they’re just the ones I watch
Everybody everywhere are tired of the covid games. It is all so manipulated it is obvious it is being used as a control system. The media is totally complicate in this crime.
Breadth? Maybe learn to spell check if you want anyone to take your propaganda seriously.
Breadth is a word….
Noooo do what the authoritarian communist tell you… for everyones sake… anti vaxxers….
God i hate liberal dipshts. And now they’re cheering on the Chinese. Cunts
Democrat voters stands with the tyrants….they vote for lockdowns and mandates
Where was CNBC when Biden was mandating the vaccines and people were losing their jobs?
Old enough to remember the press cheering on the Canadian government freezing bank accounts of lockdown/vaccine protests. Why the change of heart?
But when Americans did this it was dangerous right msm? You are a parody of yourself.
Shame Chinese citizens are denied the ability to arm themselves and effectively destroy the CCP.
Yes now the dark side has a reason too eliminate all
Thanks for telling the US public what to do when their government tries this BS again …
The US government never instituted a real lock down like this.
Communist China is no different from ancient Persia and they both will crush any rebellion or protests that threaten there way of life ,culture or authority.
Communist Chinese have murdered hundreds of millions of their own citizens. They will think nothing of murdering hundreds of millions more of their citizens to keep power and control. It’s what Chinese Communists do.
Trump cried the sky was falling. Hillary says “never waste a good crisis”. When America sang and danced “Crisis”. The whole World jumped on the band wagon.
Every time there is a crisis, there is a new law enforcement branch. I am sure China will milk this crisis out for a long time.
Can’t hide it can ya media — makes them sad…”we have to carefully calibrate the meaning of these protests” (meaning we have to control the narrative)
They used Covid to shit down all the protest in 2019
Problem is DEMOCRATS AND CHINA WANT AMERICA TO BE LIKE CHINA
I believe all this is intentionally being allowed to get through to mess with our minds. China is too controlling to not be able to prevent these leaks.
What’s with the one blurred face at 4:49?
Maybe a minor? 🤷♀️
She has no mask, so she’s easily identified. They are blurring her face to protect her identity.
“anti-lockdown” protesters in China? I didn’t know there were uneducated racist white supremacists in China too?
You are no different from the Chinese government = Democratic Party
All you dipshits who keep posting how brave the Chinese people are for standing up against their government over lockdowns are the exact same dipshits that be rated anti-vaxx anti-lockdown Americans . Your hypocrisy is in full swing fkn losers 🖕
This is what happens when you vote blue like an idiot.
Government performs an extreme action, people react with extreme counteraction.
You guys are just like them, stop talking hypocrisy 🖕= Democratic Party
They can’t arrest everyone!!!! ❤someone is going to be able to leak information ℹ️
Remember the policies of China’s government are what these MSM quislings wanted done to your for the past 2 years.
China did this same thing 2 years ago… no one batted an eye. You all lined up like good little sheep or did you forget?
American Media is the enemy of the people
So…are you all going to give equal treatment to different countries in your reporting now? I sure hope the next time Canada protests you all do a better job of giving them the same respect.
Canadians weren’t being locked in their own homes for three or four straight months, starving, then burned alive when a fire broke out. Don’t equate this to some truckers whining about a vaccine shot.
Funny how NBC was pushing for this type of authoritarian lockdowns not to long ago.
but it’s the police that have the guns The government can laugh at the protest.
With any luck, the Han will annihilate themselves, and the Tibetans and Uighurs will finally be free. 👍
Liberal Democrats trying really hard now to pretend they were not lockdown hawks.
I hate the ccp.
America has lost roughly 1.1 million people to covid-19 and that doesn’t include the people we no longer count as dying of covid-19 if they died more than 28 days after initial infection. Last week we lost over 2,000 people. China lost four. There needs to be a balance. They cannot give up on their zero covid policy until they have done an appropriate rollout of a functional vaccine. Otherwise they’re going to lose millions of people to covid-19. Please let me know your thoughts of a functional way to stop the spread in China with a massively vulnerable population that has never experienced this disease
Seems Chinese protestors have more freedom than American protestors who were shot outside the capitol hill.
Funny how ALL these videos started showing up on Twitter AFTER Twit Censors were fired ???
Did [C] Xi gas protesters for a photo op? Did [F] China shoot protesters like Rittenwho did?
Does [G7] 1.1 million US Covid deaths seem [C] worth it? (Does it seem worth it?)
[F] USA one million, one hundred, five thousand, five hundred and [C] fourty six (yeah fourty six) [USA 1,105,546]
[G7] China five thousand, two hundred, twenty [C] three (yeah [F] twenty [C] three). [China 5,223]
