Guest: Joanna Chiu, staff reporter
China saw its largest protests in a generation this week. In more than 20 cities across the country, protesters demanded an end to Beijing's draconian zero-COVID policy, which expanded to dissent against President Xi Jinping's repressive regime. As of this recording, at least six cities across China have since eased COVID restrictions. Some say an end to zero-COVID may be in sight. Did the protests spark change? Has this exposed faultlines in Xi Jinping's previously iron-clad control over China's citizens?
