The protests are real, probably. The people of China have opinions, not every protest is a CIA attempt at civil unrest. But the West coups them into great revolutionary anti government protests, while they were protests against some covid measures. Just like in Iran, the Chinese people are choosing their own path forward and that sometimes leads to protests, some of which get couped by the CIA. Doesn’t mean all of them are fake.
Like how they transformed a furneral into the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest with students who admitted that they did not know what they are doing before the protest leaders stage attacks against their own followers to get free welfare and citizenship into NATO countries.
They’re definitely not fake. People protest. Of course we should always be skeptical given the threat of Western meddling. But at the same time, if people weren’t already upset then the fertile ground for Western meddling wouldnt be there in the first place. Protesting is a healthy sign of civic engagement.
The question is whether the state constructively responds to its people’s concerns when they mobilize, which China has. That’s a big opportunity for us in combatting this whole “authoritarian” nonsense.
