Britain has condemned the “shocking and unacceptable” arrest of a BBC journalist who was “beaten and kicked” in China as anti-lockdown protests continue.
The Chinese authorities eased some anti-virus rules but affirmed their severe "zero Covid" strategy on Monday, following another round of clashes with demonstrators.
Police pinned down a protester and held a hand over his mouth in Shanghai on Sunday night, where hours earlier crowds had been forcibly removed using pepper spray.
