I deadass just saw a tweet describing these protests as "Dying down"

Glad to see that is false.

"The first protest is dying down. Yes, about dozens more have started, but the first one is on its last legs."

Only half joking, I live in Shenzhen and more protests have happened here yesterday.

Since you live there, maybe you could tell us why the Covid vaccines are not working in China. Has the virus mutated that much or does the Chinese government insist on using an ineffective formula? (Am just wondering if we are going to be in for an unstoppable surge here in the US.)

They were. The protests were over the weekend and no-one had any idea of dick all happening for two days. The plan of 'try detaining everyone you can find for a bit and hoping they're intimidated' may possibly have not worked out well.

Historically, the south of China is often the seed or hotbed of revolution against the ruling government.
