There's a new market segment exploding right before our eyes.
I'm not talking about crypto.
Not 5G.
Not artificial intelligence or electric vehicles.
Ironically, the mainstream media is covering it… but the financial news isn't.
Protests against China's stringent Covid restrictions have intensified, as a wave of civil disobedience triggered by a deadly fire in the far west reached levels in the mainland not seen since Xi Jinping assumed power a decade ago. At Beijing's elite Tsinghua University, students shouted "freedom will prevail" and called for an end to lockdowns, while crowds also returned to Middle Urumqi Road in Shanghai for a second day, and pushed down pandemic barricades in Wuhan. In an unusually bold act that appeared to indicate the level of people's desperation, a crowd in Shanghai had called for the removal of the Communist party and Xi in a standoff with police late on Saturday, according to videos circulated on Twitter. Chinese people usually refrain from criticising the party and its leaders in public for fear of reprisals. "Communist party! Step down! Xi Jinping! Step down!" they chanted. Advertisement In other footage, people chanted: "No PCR tests, we want freedom!" followed by rounds of repeated calls for "Freedom! Freedom!" The slogan echoed the call of a lone protester in Beijing in October. According to photos posted on Chinese social media, a note stuck to a lamppost on Middle Urumqi Road, in an upmarket part of Shanghai, says: "To our friends in Urumqi: I love you like I love this road, like I love my family. November 26th, 22." Other photos show a candlelit vigil in front of a luxury apartment compound on the same street, among a sea of white candles, with a cardboard sign reading: "Urumqi November 24. May those who died rest in peace." Despite many documented police arrests of protesters on Saturday, people returned to the streets of Shanghai – China's biggest city and a global financial hub in the east of the country – on Sunday. In Beijing, a Tsinghua University student told AFP some students held up a blank piece of paper near the canteen at about 11.30am, and 200-300 people had joined them by the afternoon. Blank sheets have become a symbol of the burgeoning protests. According to videos shared online, protesters shouted: "This is not normal life, we've had enough. Our lives were not like this before." Widespread in-person protests are rare in China, where room for dissent has been all but eliminated under Xi, forcing citizens mostly to vent on social media where they play cat-and-mouse games with censors.
