It's not rioting.

Fair enough, what should I be calling it? Genuine question, not sure.
It's a demonstration or a protest.

FWIW, there's an extra layer to language here where China gov't calls them rioters, so by your choice of words you choose sides.

Yeah, I realized that after I wrote it, sorry.
Protest
An Uprising
