People also protested against the government asking Xi Jinping to step down. Protests were made against the Community Party. People were found everywhere and the healthcare officials were attacked in some of the incidents.

Even at 2 AM on Sunday, people were on the streets protesting told the local media. It is quite chilling in China but the people were protesting all over singing the national anthem. Ten people including three children died because of a deadly fire attack in Urumqi. Many people took the national flags and called for the lift of the entire lockdowns and the restrictions in the nation. The residents of Shanghai gathered in large numbers for a candlelight vigil on Wulumuqi Middle Road.
