This is Shanghai, the city of my parents. They've lived through the cultural revolution and the Tiananmen demonstration and massacre before moving to the States. I visited Shanghai where my grandparents and relatives live once in a while before college.
I appreciate the fearlessness of the protestors in the picture, because they're combating probably the most brutal dictatorship on this planet.
Some of my classmates and colleagues who are from China defended CCP's barbarian crackdown in HK, Xinjang, and seemed to accept whatever BS the CCP propagandists are indoctrinating them, despite studying and working in the US. For one moment I thought the Chinese people from China are incorrigible, but I'm certainly wrong.
Free China, and Fuck CCP, Fuck Xinnie the Pooh

What's the source? Are they actually calling for the CCP to step down? Or are they protesting specific policies? Would appreciate more information than a photo and a Redditor's spin.

They are not calling for the communist party to step down. Many of the protestors carry the Chinese flag; the protests are about the continued lockdowns.

Weird that the watermark was removed from this. I'd link it if I could read it. The only sources Google finds are a couple other subreddits, like here (w/watermark): https://www-reddit-com.translate.goog/r/China_Pulitzer/comments/z5ghq3/shanghais_tankman/?_x_tr_sl=zh-CN&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc

You can ask a leader of a soulless regime to "step down", but don't be surprised when he doesn't. There really is only one solution for their specific hellscape.
