This week, we are looking at a poem in the news. We are airing on Saturday, October 15th, 2022. On Thursday October 13th, 2022, just three days before Chairman Xi Jinping is supposed to be anointed for his third term, someone mounted the Sitong Bridge in Beijing and unfurled two banners. One had a poem which read:

\xa0

We don\u2019t want nucleic acid [tests], we want to eat

We don\u2019t want the Cultural Revolution, we want reform\xa0

\xa0

We don\u2019t want lockdowns, we want freedom

We don\u2019t want a leader, we want voting

\xa0

We don\u2019t want lies, we want respect

We don\u2019t want to be slaves, we want to be citizens
