But if you only got your news from Reddit, you’d think the people are preparing to overthrow the government and establish a new liberal country.

There were protests where people were singing the national anthem too, but it seems like western libs are the only people who can protest the government without wanting to topple it

    I wouldn't be so optimistic lol. There's been so much lib shit social media brainworm going on in the Chinese web sphere since the Urumqi fire. It's one thing to have residents of lockdown-ed neighborhoods to gather and demand clarification on who authorized the lockdowns, whether the local commune has the power to do so, and whether said lockdowns are following the newest measures released by the gov that tries to limit the scales of lockdowns, etc. It's another thing to organize an entire protest around freeze peach and false rumors (e.g., the rumor that the apartment units of the fire victims were bolted cuz of the covid measures).

    Fucking students in 1989 almost sold the country out to the westoids. I fucking hope it doesn't happen again.

    Edit: how do I stop doomscrolling when I have no grass to touch :agony-minion:

      During Hu era, China had 40k riot according to western source, this is child play after all the experience. Especially with how they organize on Telegram. imo, the CPC should give out ultimatum for getting Vax. Can't let the anti vax hold the country back

          Yes. But because of their non vaxx attitude, the cpc have to maintain zero Covid, which wear a lot of peoples down, which led to this protest. If the elderly vaxx rate going up, the govt could relax more restrictions without overflowing the hospital

            Because places with high vaccination rates don't have people catching covid and dying? Australia's vaccination rate is 95% 2nd dose, 75% third dose and Covid is still 3rd most common cause of death. A full third of people have or have had covid and 1 per 1600 people have died this year alone. I wouldn't be surprised if vaccination is less effective than strict mask mandates and social distancing.

      I do think some of the other protests are in solidarity with the people in Urumqi. The ones in Shanghai are definitely infiltrated.

        Try as they might, Chinese libs can never wash the stench of white worship, and average Chinese people will see them as the Western bootlicking white worshiping losers they are. As China becomes stronger and the West weaker, the stench will only get more and more noticeable.
