Never, since the Tiananmen Square movement in 1989, have so many Chinese challenged the communist regime so directly, some even daring to call for the resignation of President Xi Jinping.

A cry of revolt that turned into a political demand against an authoritarian power deaf to the suffering of a population whose daily life has become hell, tells us our correspondent in Beijing. A month after being triumphantly reappointed for a third term as head of the country, Xi Jinping faces his most serious political challenge since taking power in late 2012.
