Ask HN: China Protests?
What's happening? How widespread are they? Any noteworthy technology-related developments (since this is HN after all)?
Technology wise, nothing worth noting, the censorship is complete there.
As someone who left China after Xi got into power I find the West's attitude towards the country hard to understand. But I also can not explain why an apartment fire in Urumqi would be the final straw that gets folks on the streets. Especially in places like Shanghai where the lockdown was insane.
Not that anything will come of it, Xi's grip of the system is absolute at this point.
