About 150 Tibetan exiles held up blank pieces of paper — symbols of defiance against Chinese censorship — as they rallied in India's capital to express solidarity with people in China protesting Beijing's 'zero COVID' policy.
Exile Tibetan activists hold blank white papers symbolizing government censorship in China, while shouting anti-China slogans during a protest in New Delhi, India, Friday, Dec. 2, 2022. The protest was in solidarity with the on-going "White Paper" protests against Chinese government's continued zero-COVID policies.
The blank paper is a symbol of defiance used by some protesters in China against the ruling Communist Party’s widespread censorship. Since the protests, some Chinese cities have eased anti-virus restrictions as the government tries to defuse public anger.
