Filmmaker Faces Trial for Documentary on China's Covid Protests

Credited from: CNN

  • A Chinese filmmaker, **Chen Pinlin**, is set to face trial for his documentary on nationwide protests against **Covid lockdowns** in late 2022.
  • Chen is charged with **"picking quarrels and provoking trouble,"** a vague charge often used to silence dissent in China.
  • The protests arose after a deadly apartment fire in **Urumqi** and marked the largest public dissent in decades, challenging **Xi Jinping's** leadership.
  • His documentary, titled **“Not the Foreign Force,”** aimed to counter government narratives blaming foreign influences for the unrest.
  • Chen's arrest and trial highlight ongoing **censorship and repression** in China, raising international concerns and calls for his release.
