A deadly fire at an apartment block in Urumqi, the capital of the far western region of Xinjiang, killed 10 people and injured nine on Thursday. The fire has acted as a catalyst for searing public anger, as videos emerged that seemed to suggest lockdown measures delayed firefighters from reaching the victims. Anti-lockdown protests have rocked neighborhoods in cities from Beijing, Guangzhou and Wuhan to Lanzhou. According to social media videos, residents at multiple residential communities in Beijing defied lockdown orders. Many residents have marched and chanted, "Say no to Covid tests, yes to freedom!".
