Videos have emerged on social media revealing the violent response Chinese authorities are taking against residents who break COVID-19 lockdown rules imposed once again in Shanghai and other areas around the country.


Jennifer Zeng, a Chinese-born human rights activist and critic of the Chinese government, shared a video on Thursday showing several authorities in white hazmat-style suits wrestling with a woman clinging to a fence post.



“The police are hitting us!'” Zeng tweeted. “Woman in #Shanghai crying and shouting. Looks [like] the police are arresting people who broke the #lockdown barricades.”


After successfully prying the screaming woman away from the metal pole, the video showed the authorities then begin grappling a man who held his hands in the air. As the video continued, several residents could be heard screaming. The video showed more Shanghai authorities kneeling on another resident and holding a fourth resident’s arms behind his back.
