I have! And I have my Chinese friends feed too. Inside and outside of china. There’s definitely differences, but that’s how algorithms work
Have you seen the coordinated response to genuine spreading political disconten
Yes i have seen it. They solve things pretty fast e.g. COVID lockdowns when minor protests broke out, petit bourgeois real estate protests, etc. doesn’t look like you pay attention to things like that
“Solve” is an interesting verb for suppression of legitimate mass discontent at being physically locked into their apartments. That “solution” worked so well for those “minor protests” that they decided to do a 180° turn from the Zero Covid policy to no restrictions overnight.
Truly a bastion of free speech, except for any real discontent is labeled capitalist subterfuge so we’ll just disregard that.
If the government listen the protesters and remove the lockdown policy is bad, if they don’t listen to the protesters and maintain the lockdown is bad. Is impossible to win.
In the end of the day the lockdown was the right call and the “freedom above everything else” just cause death in the west.
Weird way to “listen” by suppressing their voices. Zero Covid was the “right call” in a narrow lens of limiting direct disease transmission, but it was completely untenable as a true long term strategy and had no foresight.
The protests weren’t due to solely to the restrictions on personal freedom, it was also the total lack of sane administration and fallback plans. The enforcement, quarantine logistics and vaccine rollout were entirely scattershot. The government had no realistic approach to the problem beyond rigid policing.
When their authority to enforce the policy was stretched to its limits they did an about face and pretended the problem didn’t exist, leaving their vulnerable populations in the lurch with no offramp. The core problem of inept administration was completely unaddressed. I wouldn’t give them credit for “listening to the protesters” any more than I would give Tsar Nicholas credit for listening to his striking workers.
Considering the uncertainty surrounding COVID at the time, China’s approach while heavy handed, prioritized people’s lives instead of continuing capitalist exploitation like they did in the west. The infection rates and death toll speak for themselves. Once it was clear that the worst waves were over, and the popular sentiment was to loosen up restrictions the Chinese government reacted. The largest protest numbers I saw a in the lower hundreds of thousands across multiple provinces, which also considering Chinas size (more than hundred cities are 1M+ population with a total of 1.4B people) is indeed minor.
Also nice free speech you got over here where vaccine “sceptics” got to spew their nonsense all over the place and you have disease’s coming back that where considered to be eradicated. GTFO shitlib

Your response is very telling.
