Chinese Protesters Use Tricks to Evade Censors, Vent Covid Anger

Many are posting a blank white image on social media in defiance of officials who are deleting content so quickly that some internet users complained nothing meaningful could be expressed at all.

Others are posting a single, seemingly innocuous word, repeated many times, including “good,” “okay,” or “sure,” as a sarcastic expression of discontent.
