In a country ripe with brutal censorship followed by subsequent arrest, blank sheets of white paper are now becoming a symbol of protests in China against the country’s strict zero-Covid policy. More and more protesters have begun holding up blank sheets of paper “a tactic to protest while avoiding censorship or arrest”:
Some are calling the demonstrations the “white paper revolution”, “blank sheet revolution” or “A4 revolution”. The trend has its roots in the 2020 Hong Kong demonstrations, where locals held blank pieces of paper to protest against the city’s new national security laws.
Check out the BBC news piece detail the new tactic. (Hey, I mean – sometimes saying nothing and letting others react tells you everything you need to know!)
