Whatâs going on? Over the weekend, thousands of people took to the streets in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to protest the countryâs â[zero-COVID](â restrictions. The demonstrations came after an apartment fire in the western Xinjiang region left [10 people dead](. Many blamed Chinaâs lockdown rules for delaying rescue efforts. Now, many are protesting (some with [blank sheets of paper]() and calling for an end to lockdowns. Others are demanding for Chinese President Xi Jinping to step down. Whatâs the response? Police are reportedly beating and arresting protesters â some of whom have been seen taken away on buses. The widespread dissent comes as China's hit a [record number of new COVID cases]( in the last few days. Over the weekend, China reported nearly 40,000 new infections. Beijing has defended the policy as necessary to save lives and has doubled down on restrictions. But the tight grip continues to impact [Chinaâs economy]( and has ignited residentsâ impatience. theSkimm Public protests in China are [rare]( â especially ones spread across multiple cities.

Over the weekend, the US Soccer Federation posted a picture of the Iranian flag without the Islamic Republic emblem on social media. And said it was in âsupport for the women in Iran.â The post comes amid months of anti-government protests sparked by [Mahsa Aminiâs]( death. Now, an Iranian soccer officialâs calling on FIFA to issue a penalty against US soccer, reportedly saying the US âdisrespectedâ Iranâs flag. It all comes before both teams face off in a [matchup tomorrow]( â one the US has to win in order to advance in the tournament after tying [with England]( on Friday. Meanwhile, Moroccoâs 2-0 win over Belgium has sparked [violence]( in Brussels. And Canadaâs headed home after losing to Croatia. --------------------------------------------------------------- Whatâs hitting âresumeâ... [Chevron](. On Saturday, the US gave the second-largest oil company in the US a six-month license to pump oil in Venezuela â the first time in nearly three years. In 2020, the Trump admin banned the company from drilling for oil in Venezuela as part of the [USâs financial sanctions]( against Maduroâs government. Venezuelans were already dealing with poverty, inflation as high as 1,000%, and a lack of access to basic needs like running water and electricity. Now, the Biden adminâs reversing course, as long as Maduro makes moves to restore democracy and free and fair elections. Maduroâs gov says itâll abide by the rules and implement a humanitarian relief program. But critics worry the Trump rollback would only benefit Maduro. The move could open the door for other oil companies to do business in Venezuela. TBD if the license will address the pain at the pump. But the Biden admin said the decision is not about gas prices â which reached a record high over the summer. --------------------------------------------------------------- Whose holiday dinner party was the most chaotic... [Former President Trumpâs](. Last week, he hosted Ye (aka Kanye West) at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. According to Trump, this was supposed to be a one-on-one dinner since Ye âvery much wantedâ to visit him. But apparently, the problem isnât that Ye said he would go âdeath con 3 on Jewish people.â Itâs that he brought an uninvited antisemitic plus one â a [white nationalist and Holocaust denier]( who Trump says he didnât know. Meanwhile, Ye maintains Trump â who has a Jewish daughter â was âreally impressedâ with his white nationalist friend. But that Trump began âscreamingâ at Ye when Ye apparently invited him to run as his veep in 2024. Trump defended the meeting and called West a âseriously troubled manâ who âhappens to be Black.â --------------------------------------------------------------- Who hit a red light⦠[O Yeong-su](. Last week, South Korean officials charged the 78-year-old âSquid Gameâ actor with sexual misconduct. The charges stem from a 2017 incident in which he allegedly touched a woman inappropriately. Yeong-su denies the accusation. --------------------------------------------------------------- Who may have added to [yesterday's flight delays](⦠[Odell Beckham Jr](. Yesterday, the NFL star was removed from an LA-bound flight at Miami International Airport. Police say he was âin and out of consciousnessâ and refused to fasten his seatbelt.
