White Paper Protests in 2022

The Blank paper protest originated in the 1960s as a form of implicit protest, with messages meant to be understood without being explicitly stated. The tactic is designed to thwart efforts by authorities to prove that prohibitions and regulations have been violated. Examples of the use of blank paper protests include a 1969 protest at the University of Toronto Schools in Canada and the 2022 COVID-19 protests in China, where it was used as a symbol of Chinese censorship. The use of white paper has additional significance in China, where white is a symbol of death and mourning. The tactic has also been used in other countries, including Poland, Russia, and the United Kingdom, often in response to government restrictions on free speech.learn more on wikipedia
