Florida man walks into a packed crypto conference…
A demonstration erupted on Friday in Urumqi, the regional capital of the far west Xinjiang region, where at least 10 people died and nine others were injured a day earlier in a fire in a residential building. Many believe they died because they were unable to escape due to Covid restrictions – a claim the local government denied.

Photograph: AP Photos and videos circulated on Chinese social media seen by the Guardian were quickly removed by internet censors, but many continued to circulate on Twitter, which is blocked in China. According to photos and videos on Sina Weibo that were later deleted, in the Communication University of China at Nanjing, in eastern China, two students held up white sheets of paper on a campus plaza on Saturday. By night, they were joined by crowds of students who lit up their mobile phones and sang the national anthem with its lyric "Rise up, those who refuse to be slaves." They chanted: "Ten thousand years to the people. May the dead rest in peace!" One of the young men was cheered by the crowd as he said: "I used to be a coward, but today I have to speak up for those who have perished!" Calls to the university for comment were unanswered. Among other images circulating on social media, a young man standing in front of what looks like a Covid testing station, holds up a piece of paper saying: "Grievously commemorating Nov 24 fire victims." In reference to tragedies that occurred due to Covid restrictions, a placard worn on the back of another young man says: "I was in the bus which turned over … I was among those who walked hundreds of miles [to escape], I was the person who jumped to death, I was the person who was trapped in the fire – if I wasn't these people, the next one will be me." Social media users said he was from the Northwest Political Science and Law University, but his identity could not be verified.

At the Qingdao Film Academy in eastern China, a piece of paper stuck on the entrance read: "Mourning the November 24 fire victims. Do not become indifferent. Do not stay silent. Do not forget." The Guardian has verified the locations of these pictures. Video footage said to be filmed in Beijing showed people singing the Internationale and chanting "Freedom or death!" outside a housing compound during the night. The location could not be confirmed.

Their locations could not be independently verified. China Digital Times, a US-based news website, reported that protests also occurred in Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts in the north-west and Sichuan Foreign Languages University in the south-west. Prof Chung Kim-wah, a social scientist formerly with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, said that although widespread, the protests were unlikely to threaten the central government. He expected the government would use both appeasement and crackdown to defuse the discontent. "One needs to observe whether the anti-Xi slogans will spread, but Xi could shift the responsibility [to local authorities] as [the central government] can say it's the local governments who have over-enforced" the Covid curbs, he said, referring to a government announcement on 11 November that eased some restrictions and urged local officials to refrain from indiscriminate Covid restrictions.
