Videos shared on social media earlier this week appeared to show one particularly large demonstration involving thousands of people in #Zhengzhou, wearing masks and facing rows of #police officers wearing protective suits and holding riot shields. Police kicked and hit a protester with clubs after the person grabbed hold of a metal pole that was being used to strike him. Witnesses also said that employees at the iPhone factory were beaten and detained amid the protests.
