              Yes, they did. Until some alphabet agency agent co opt the protest, when it’s about inflation and economic crisis. Many Chinese peoples still piss at them till this days, at least learn about the country first before spouting shite

          For their peer, they vote for the most competent to run the govt, not some snake oil sales man or senile old man that rely on pr popularity to run the damn country. Look at Nigeria, a drug lord successfully make peoples vote for him and now they’re in the brink of war even though peoples don’t like it,
