    from your link:

    Despite the increase in protests, some scholars have argued that they may not pose an existential threat to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rule because they lack “connective tissue”;[7] the preponderance of protests in China are aimed at local-level officials, and only a select few dissident movements seek systemic change.[8]

      And? All that says is that most movements don’t target the CPC rule, but that there still are some movements that seek systemic change. Seems to support my point.

        your point (on free speech) is not supported if there are seldom protests on national issues.

        could you give an example of a dissident movement that has openly protested? i would not think the white paper protestor count as an organization (organizing, sure, but there’s a difference)

          OR the Chinese populace is actually incredibly satisfied with their central government. Which is the case. The national CPC has a 95.5% satisfaction rating.
