This week, streets across China filled with angry protestors.

Some held blank pieces of paper instead of signs, to protest censorship, others chanted ‘Down with Xi Jinping’.

They’re the most significant protests China has seen for 30 years, according to analysts. But how have they happened under the surveillance regime of the state?

 And what do they mean for the future of the Chinese Communist Party and for Xi Jinping and the China he’s trying to shape?

Today, Senior Lecturer in Journalism at the University of Melbourne, Louisa Lim on the protests igniting across China, despite the shadow of Tiananmen.
