I am of Chinese descent as well, and I think there are still a sizable number of people within China who see through the CCP’s illusions - after all, it is hard to argue that over a billion people all think exactly the same way, especially when there are such stark cultural differences between provinces and regions. But due to the technological advances of the past two decades that have greatly facilitated government surveillance in all parts of mainland China, it is now much harder to organize a mass protest like Tiananmen compared to the situation in 1989.

Goddamn it I really do hope you are right but from my experience the last few times I was visiting Shanghai and talking to my relatives and others it just seems that spirit for change is lacking. But I do think that as China’s economy slows and the CCP can no longer keep people on the payroll more resistance will grow.

There are small riots and fights that breakout every now and then especially out in the country side.
