In Switzerland, Chinese dissidents now know they are not alone
After protests in China against the government’s zero-Covid policy spilled over to Chinese communities abroad, some dissidents in Switzerland found the courage to make their voices heard for the first time – and want to continue to take a stand without fear of retaliation.
Protesters in Chinese cities, like the ones above in Beijing on November 27, held up blank sheets of paper signalling limits on freedom of speech, a gesture replicated by those who took part in vigils in other parts of the world, including Switzerland. Keystone / Mark R. Cristino
Like many Chinese living overseas, Yiyan* spent the final days of November anxiously consuming news about protests that had erupted in cities and university campuses across China. When word came that police in Shanghai had detained several demonstrators and were randomly checking commuters’ mobile phones for the presence of foreign apps, the Swiss resident could no longer sit still.
“I got really scared,” says the Chinese native. “So I got on the train and cried my eyes out all the way to Zurich.”
