A protest broke out in central China’s Wuhan -- as elderly residents showed their discontent with a local government reform to public health insurance
A protest broke out in central China’s Wuhan on Wednesday as elderly residents showed their discontent with a local government reform to public health insurance that came into effect earlier this month. Photos and videos of the demonstration in Wuhan circulating on social media and seen by CNN show a large crowd of elderly people gathering in front of a city center park to express dissatisfaction with a cut in their medical benefits.
China recorded one of its worst economic performances in decades in 2022, according to official statistics, and local governments have found their budgets drained after years of supporting mass testing, snap lockdowns and centralized quarantines under the policy. The protest on Wednesday came amid signals from the central government that it would not bail out local governments despite their debts piling up amid these financial hurdles.
