I am posting this because I know we have some FReepers who have some insight and knowledge of China (beyond mine).
I’m going there next week, for the first time in three years.
I’ll let you know what I learn
You might find Louis-Vincent Gave interesting:
“The reality is you get tens of thousands of protests in China, every year. They’re not covered by the Western media, because they’re about local issues about polluted water or local authorities who stole land or whatever else. And the modus operandi of the Chinese government is to give in, they blame middle management, they blame the local mayor, they blame that local party secretary, they fire them, or just move them somewhere else. And they give to the demonstrators whatever the demonstrators want.”

Video from last year (bear in mind this was before winter came and he had no way of knowing it would be unusually mild for Europe, also before we blew up the Nord Stream pipelines):
