The Chinese Communist Party has started to crack down on those who protested against the country's "Zero Covid" policy, those at the Beijing demonstrations have said, as police continue to monitor major city streets.
According to two protestors who spoke with Reuters, callers identifying themselves as Beijing police officers asked them to report to the police station on Tuesday and gave them written accounts of their activities at the protest. One student said they were asked by their college if they had been at a protest, and to provide a written account.
