China Covid Protests intensify: Chinese University sends students home |Oneindia News *International
Barely a month after Xi Jinping positioned himself as the presumed leader of China for life, there is an unprecedented public outpouring against his government’s zero-Covid policy.
What started in Urumqi spread to anger online and then offline with thousands taking to the roads against the Communist regime in the country and calling for Xi to step down.
Chinese universities are now sending students home as the ruling Communist Party tightens anti-virus controls and tries to prevent more protests.
Trade issues topped the agenda with EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen warning "For trade to be fair, access to each other's markets also needs to be reciprocal."

As Chinese leader Xi Jinping touched down in France on Sunday (May 5) for a state visit, all eyes turned to Paris where President Emmanuel Macron aims to navigate delicate diplomatic waters. Macron is anticipated to leverage the visit to press Xi for a firmer stance against Russia amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, even before Xi's arrival, the streets reverberated with the voices of Tibetan protesters, highlighting the contentious issue of China's occupation of Tibet. Since the annexation by the People's Republic of China in 1951 following the Battle of Chamdo, Tibet's sovereignty has been a persistent source of tension, underscored by China's assertion of control over the region from January 1, 1950. Against this backdrop, Macron's diplomatic balancing act takes center stage, emblematic of the intricate dance between global powers and human rights advocacy.

I just think that the past four
years have been particularly
challenging for American policing.
And our survey shows we’re
finally starting to turn a corner, Chuck Wexler, Executive director of PERF, via NBC.
NBC reports that declining numbers left
many police departments with a shortage of
officers, which resulted in slower response times.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
According to Wexler, law enforcement , "isn't out of the woods yet.".
At least a dozen smaller police departments in
the nation have been forced to disband, leaving those
municipalities reliant upon state or county police forces.

benefits, many police departments have chosen to
change application requirements to increase hiring
