The point is that those two words are (in China) associated with being against the CCP. It’s kindof similar to “black lives matter”. To some, it’s a symbol of hate (with re. to the police). To others, it’s a symbol of fighting back.

Even if you assume those comments are written by Chinese trying to fight for their rights - and I doubt it is the case - there's still a fundamental difference: #blacklivesmatter was a tag that accompanied actual content. Here, there's nothing but the "tag", copy/pasted all over the place without adding any value.
