Crowds of angry Chinese nationals staged a protest outside the world's busiest railway station in Japan on Wednesday to show support for the demonstrations erupting across China.

Footage shows the mob holding up blank white papers, as well as Tibetan, Taiwanese, and Hong Kong flags as they rallied at the Shinjuku station in Tokyo on November 30.

They slammed their homeland's brutal lockdowns, zero-Covid policy, freedom of speech restrictions, and the authoritarian rule of the genocidal Chinese Communist Party.

Police state China is seeing a spate of rare protests from angry locals as it faces yet another outbreak of COVID-19 infections despite the strict and brutal curbs citizens have been enduring since the pandemic began.

The unrest was triggered by a deadly fire in Xinjiang region's Urumqi city on November 24, sparking public fury over anti-COVID measures said to have hampered firefighting efforts.

Protesters are calling for the end of lockdown rules, but also more political freedom as some of them urge Peking despot Xi Jinping to step down.

The Chinese dictator and his authoritarian Communist government have enforced a zero-infections policy since the outbreak of the Covid-19 respiratory illness began spreading rapidly in March 2020.

There is growing awareness both within China and in the west of the country's brutal treatment of citizens - including organ harvesting and mass imprisonments.

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) stated that China's treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang had lead to the 'United States and several other foreign governments' branding China's actions in Xinjiang as 'genocide'.

The United Nations human rights office warned that the actions could 'constitute crimes against humanity'.
