Big events gets posted on PRC social media faster than censors can censor. Much of Chinese with mobile will see this, the biggest problem is people in west thinking they know better, overindexing on a bunch of students stuck in shitty dorms protesting because lockdown in these facilities are genuinely terrible, while the protestors use some dead Uyghurs and libral values as pretense (yes many are genuine too) for international attention to pressure gov response.

This is just one of the thousands of "small" scale protests that happen every year in PRC, except young students are better coordinated and tech savvy (i.e. Shanghai protest organized on Telegram with western reporters in group), same with Henan bank who got some money back. Or Urumqi finally relaxing lockdown because 1000s of commoners got on the streets - imagine that CCP even listens to Uyghur pressure. I expect there's going to be some concessions for campus lockdowns (and organizers getting fucked), but until their parents get on the street enmass, this is western media who got kicked out or left PRC during covid getting overzealous on breadcrumbs of access they occasionally get through oblique channels from mainland.

E: over limit, @powerapple

Yeah, it's coordinated. Cabin fever lockdown students learned from HK protestors / Henan. I was peeping at @actionshanghai on telegram leading up. I think campus concessions will get attention or some priority. And should - lock down in Chinese dorms would suck. I'm sure organizers are going to get crushed, especially for inviting / appealing to foreign jouralists and rags like RFA or epochetimes is going to ruin some lives accordign to how HK NSL prosecutions are going.

This may not result in anything, but these are synchronised acts, I watched the clip predicted it, and a few guys announced this before it happened on DouYin (Chinese TikTok).
