'Refuse quarantine!': frustrations mount as China replays COVID controls

Article reports that in footage shared on social media last week, a crowd of people in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang bang against the windows of a clothing market as they shout in frustration at the announcement of yet another round of COVID-19 tests. Though the local government quickly urged people not to 'spread rumours' about the incident, the response from netizens was immediate. 'Refuse quarantine!' said one. 'Many people have awoken to the truth,' said another. 'It's actually over,' said a netizen posting on WeChat under the username 'Jasmine Tea'. 'The common cold is more serious than this… The testing agencies want this to go on. The vaccine companies want to inoculate forever.'
