Not The News
This Chinese-speaking platform aimed at documenting social unrest across China, from workers‘ strikes, property owners’ rights, migrant workers’ wages, to forced evictions and demolitions. Its founders rights activists Li Tingyu and Lu Yuyu ran it from 2013 to 2016 until they both got arrested and went to prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” Before their arrest, they could record over 70,000 collective actions from across the country through pictures, videos and testimonies of the protesters. Here is their former X (Twitter) account. On 1 January 2023, founder Lu Yuyu created the YouTube channel Yesterday (昨天) to resume this documentation of mass protests in China.
